RE-ignite excitement and passion

Hello rooties, it has been a long time since I posted anything. I thought life before a child was busy well now its hectic.

Any who, we are not here to talk about my wonderful princess. I am here to talk about relationship pertaining to marriage. So I recently came to this realization, now I know it may sound crazy but hear me out. If you’ve been married for longer then 2 years, at some point you will feel like your marriage is kinda just there. Certain things ya’ll use to do is either no longer exciting or you just don’t do anymore. This may have to do with the 2 year boredom or COVID shutting down the world and people getting comfortable with not doing anything or putting forth effort. For example, before the world shut down my hatband and I would go to different restaurants once a month, go to this jazz lounge every Wednesday night, go to the movies every Tuesday night, visit festivals and travel. But since COVID, we have not gone out on a date and now that we have the little one, its a whole hoopla for us to go out since our families do not live close to us, they can not watch Tour little Tweetie. So in order for us to have a date, we have to take a day off together and go out during the day when she with the baby sitter (which we have yet to plan ).

Stuff like this can kill the excitement you once had when you 1st married. If you feel like the spark or excitement in the marriage is dying reignite it. How??? By following the steps below.

1. Re-read letters, cards or notes your significant other gave you. This will put you back in the mood of being excited and giddy about your person. It will remind you of how you felt when you first heard the voice note or read those letters, cards or whatever. I tend to read my husband wedding vows and EVERY single card he gave me. Now granted, he doesn’t really write much in the cards, but because I know him, I know that what he has signed his name to is exactly how he feels about me.
2. Sit down, pray, think and recognize the person your significant other is and plan to do something sweet and small every week or every day that they would appreciate (it all depends on you). So one day, I woke up and prayed on how I can help my husband start his day off with a smile or at least smile at some point in the day. The Lord put it on my heart to leave him notes of why I love him everyday for one month AND that is what it did. EVEN when I was mad at him, still left him the little notes. and you know what his attitude changed in the morning for a good 3 months… I think I will do that again but this time i might be a bit naughty and make him blush (wink wink).
3. Plan and for a date. Now I know because of COVID some people may not want to be out surrounded by a bunch of people. So plan something cute and romantic at home. Order food from your significant others favorite spot or try ordering from a new spot all together. Weather its dinner or brunch or just a night of dancing under the stars in you backyard or the balcony. Just plan SOMETHING and make it memorable.
4. This part is for married folks, be sure to have the date end up in the bedroom or wherever your passion and body leads you to cap off the night.

Feel free to add more steps or ideas but its very important that you do step 2. Now go forth and reignite the passion excitement of the bride/bridegroom of your youth.
