Marriage.com April 20th, 2016

After some years have passed and the newly-married phase is over, the presence of love in a marriage can weaken. Of course it is there but neither partner is displaying their affection like they used to. Although it is something that needs to be addressed, it’s not uncommon on the list of marriage problems. After the love starts to fizzle, spouses crave that spark once again. If you want to know how to get love back in your marriage, here’s how to do it in a few easy steps.

Check out these 3 tips on how to bring back love in a marriage

1. Begin the day with affection

The first step is to start every day with some affection. In order to stay married you have to maintain that spark with your spouse. The only way to do that is by being affectionate. Start the day with a hug and a kiss (a real kiss, no pecks!) and build on that. Beginning each day with some romance will set the tone for the remaining hours and bring spouses closer.

2. Stay in contact throughout the day

Another on the list of tips to bring back the love is to stay in contact with your spouse throughout the day. Call each other at lunch, send flirty texts or exchange a few emails. Remember when you just met and always wanted to see how each other was doing? It is time to get that back! Staying in touch is exciting and gives the relationship that new feeling. Before you know it, you will be awaiting the next text, looking forward to that mid-day call just to hear his/her voice and yearning to be face to face with your love once again. In addition to promoting closeness, checking in is a great way to say, “I care about you”.

3. Release all grudges

Quite often, letting go of the past is the key to bringing back the love in your marriage. The thing preventing you and your spouse from loving each other like you should is often the past. The past is a mental block that has to be eliminated. Bury the past, let go of any grudges and embrace all the positive aspects of your marriage. By releasing the negative, you will soon be able to say that you saved your marriages’ love.
