Keeping The Flame In Your Relationship Lit

As you start out dating you and your new guy or girl are practically inseparable. You can barely breathe because they are right next to you sucking up the same air. This was more than likely due to the every hour on the hour phone calls, or they biweekly dating rituals, or maybe even the spicy hot spontaneity you all had. Oh and the constant sex was not a bad deal either! However somewhere down the line the bright fourth of July fireworks show faded. Maybe you two were at that step where you decided you could not take being away from one another any longer or the “Baby what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine” phase and moved in together. Maybe the honey moon is done and the reality of life took over. You know the point where you all realize it’s time to go back to work, the kids have to be cared for, and SHARED BILLS have to be paid! Life alone can ruin a relationship when allowed. Life’s random blows can kick you in the ass and leave you depressed, lonely, dull, boring, pessimistic, and many other things. However life’s hardships and trials will always be around. Therefore you can’t succumb to daily problems and let them wreck you and your relationship.
Believe it or not MOST women do NOT think sitting home watching every football, basketball, baseball, or which ever game you like is fun. Sorry but it’s the truth. Here’s where trusty compromise comes in. If you know your woman has been working late all week then why would you purposely tick her off by being sprawled out on the white couch delved into a bag of messy orange Cheetos. Get up every now and then and do these things:
1. Try something simple. Bring home her favorite flowers! Place them somewhere she will immediately notice them. With a card that reads “Thought of you when I saw these”, or “I love u babe, I wanted you to know I still remember what you like”.
2. Try Running a bath! Add white flower petals, her favorite fragrances, and break out the vanilla, lavender scented candles. Be careful because only you can prevent forest fires. Okay that was not even funny. Oh and I don’t have anything against colored flowers it’s just that they tend to stain tubs.
3. Try Cleaning up! Or you can cheat and have Merry Maids do it. While your at it have dinner ready. No the frozen Hungry Mans from Shoppers does not count. Or you can cheat again and have it catered maybe even ordered. What hard working woman would not want to come home to a fresh clean place.
4. Try to make dinner reservations! Pick an upscale restaurant you all have never been to. Maybe buy her a new outfit. You can even go with her to pick out a sexy dress to wear that you can enjoy removing later. Don’t know what restaurant well ask! There are plenty of ladies everywhere. Go up to a lady somewhere like the mall, a clothing or grocery store, and maybe even church ask them where are some really nice restaurants they enjoy! Be sure to let them know your not trying to get at them. You know to avoid drama. Oh yeah don’t forget to research the place. Would not want to get set up with some dirty random diner.
5. Try my last but not least. ASK ASK ASK!!! Sit your woman down and ask her what SHE wants to do! Pull out a pen and pad and write down all she has to say. Then get up and get to work!
There is a plethora of other options that you can use. Here I just named a few. It’s okay to be vulnerable. Contrary to belief it’s not a sign of weakness. It is a way of showing your significant other that there is more to you than what meets the eye. She will take pride in knowing that there is a side of you that only exists for her. Listen to her and actually retain what she says. Try talking you never know what someone has to say unless you ask. Plus by showing her your new found side she may open up and show you hers;)

i agree trey. i’m in a gay relationship with my boyfriend and the same rules apply. I appreciate what my man does for me and we do give eachother space which is important, but we also remind eachother how important we are to eachother. i tend to surprise from time to time and vice-versa. this week i’m taking cain to the cayman islands, he’s always wanted to go there. I rented a house for the entire week and i’m gonna be his maid and butler, anything he wants. Mostly i’ll be making love to him thorughout the stay. What he doesn’t know is i plan on proposeing to him. so it’s going to be two big surprises the trip and the proposal.

I really enjoyed your post. I am going to consider some of your options to help keep my relationship enterained. I’ll also be sure to give him a copy of this.
Thanks Again
Nice post..I’m always trying to think of ways to keep it exciting.
Another good one is role play. If you’re open it is very satisfying.
Best of luck to Kevin
Really good points…once that “infatuation” stage is over it seems so hard to keep things exciting

I feel you on that MissA87. Long lasting relationships take a lot of work. You have to do so much to keep things interesting but in the end you will do such a thing if you know the person you are with is worth it. I use to enjoy the infatuation stage and then i’d be ready to move on to another infatuation. Eventually I realized that I wasn’t getting anything positive from that. Now i’d rather put the work in with one women.
Dis was, i have to say, one of the most interestin blog i’ve read on here… For me, i always have issues wit stayin interested wit one female… It normally dnt even be anything wrong with her, its just the fact that i can get the same thing she’s offering from someone else.. Honestly i feel like i dnt give it too much of a chance when it comes to a relationship but i always complain to myself why i cant find a bitch( pleez excuse my language to allyou young beautiful ladies….Im from da south and dats how we talk) that i can claim as mine… but ima take some tips from this and see wat happens… Or atleast how long it goes on…
I’ll give u interesting… Jus don’t come home for
a few days, then come back actin like nothin happen
see what reaction you get. If that don’t turn her on
then yall relationship was over anyway.
Then again taking advice from me might not be such
a good idea
If you dont come home for a few days, expect ur belongings to be on the lawn! lol
