7 Tried & Tested Tips to Keep Married Life Sweet & Spicy!

1.Spend more time ALONE with each other as much as possible.
With the turmoil of family life, demands of parenting, and the loads of work, married couples often forget their identities as husband and wife. They are tied to being a mom or a dad. They fail to remember the excitement of spending of a great time with each other. When these persist, the spice meter of married life is doomed.
So why wait to pay the price, when the cost it will take you now is just to devote a portion of your time to your beloved. A movie date every Friday, a special fine dinner every 7th of the month or a weekend retreat to a private resort will be perfect….So go ahead, schedule the kids’ overnight with the grand parents and have a good time with your spouse!

2.Try something new together.
Learning something new help us avoid getting stuck in a rut. What can be more fun than to learn new stuff with your lovey-dovey. This will keep the passion flamin’ or will re-ignite what has wear-off over time. Join a book club with other couples (cuddle up and read together) or enroll in an exotic cooking class together!

3. Surprises! Surprises!
The element of surprise is one key ingredient in a sweet & spicy married life. May it be big or small, surprises never fail to put a smile in one’s lips. And remember, you don’t have to spend a fortune to surprise each other. Here are some ideas:
Stick a small post it love note in his laptop screen.
Light all your candles and put on a nice music and prepare a surprise dinner in the middle of the week
Drop by her office and pack her lunch for a change

4. Maintain an open communication with each other
See to it that you honestly express your most private emotions and thoughts in a carefully constructed way. Talking with compassion and sensitivity will help you avoid ending up in fights even if you’re discussing conflicting issues. Never yell, curse or say harsh words, no matter how angry you are. Your anger will fade after awhile but you can never take back the words you blurted.
Communication also involves a great deal of listening. When your spouse speaks, listen attentively. May it be about a work-related problem or just a cool coupon she got from the internet. L-I-S-T-E-N. Master the technique of knowing when to be keep quiet, when to read between the lines and when not to take things personally.

5. Get physical.
Remember when you first held each others’ hand? Bring back the butterflies in your stomach and the tingles when you touch. Cuddle in the couch, kiss whenever possible, hold hands when you stroll. A decade of marriage or having three kids doesn’t forbid you to do so.


6. Appreciate little things and say it out loud.
Don’t ever think that your spouse knows she/he is appreciated. It sometimes pays to hear it out loud. “You look great in that shirt, honey” or “ I find it sexy when you wear heels,babe” wouldn’t hurt. A bouquet of roses isn’t a bad idea when your wife spends the whole day in the kitchen preparing a special dinner for you officemates.

7. Do what it takes to lay the foundations for a lifetime filled with love, trust and respect.
