The honeymoon fades for everyone eventually — months in, years in, it doesn't matter. The good news: there are real, practical ways to reignite it.
- 1
Have fun together. Play a game, do a puzzle, watch a favorite movie with popcorn — the same simple fun you had early on.
- 2
Be romantic. Candlelight dinners, a note tucked somewhere unexpected, a fire and a quiet evening in.
- 3
Go back to dating. Call and ask each other out. Set a small budget and see how creative you can get within it.
- 4
Do the little things. A hug goodbye and hello, a "thank you" that's meant, a chore done without being asked.
- 5
Be physical. Not just sex — a hand held, a shoulder rubbed after a hard day. And when you do get there, take your time.
Do the little things, often.
None of this requires a grand gesture. It just requires showing up, again and again, in the small ways that first drew you together.
