How to Rekindle Passion in a Relationship

1. Remember

Remember the passion you had. Remember the good times and the intense feelings. Remember the things you used to do and go do them. They’re still the same person and you can have those times again

2. Communicate

Talk to your partner and discuss your feelings. They will probably feel the same and you can work together on getting the passion back

3. Prioritisation

Make your relationship a priority. Put it above the other things you don”t essentially need to do. Make your significant other the target of your love

4. Make Time

Making time to spend with another is one of the most giving gestures anyone can do. Give them your time and attention. Do things with them, go places or even just take some time to put your feet up and watch a film together

5. Get Physical

Passion can be driven both physically and mentally. Make an effort from a physical perspective. Whether it be a small squeeze of the hip, a kiss or something closer. Gaining that intimacy back will help get the spark back 

6. Be Curious

Be curious about your partner. At the start of a relationship we are inquisitive and ask questions, we want to find out more about them. Get that back, ask them how their day has been, what they’ve done, what they think and feel about different aspects of their life

7. Make Them Feel Special

When you first got together did you do nice things for and with each other? Chances are you did and doing so again can help rekindle the passion. Take them out, give them praise, let them know how special they are to you 

8. Acknowledge The Things That They Do

Say thank you and appreciate the things that they do. Make it a daily routine to show that appreciation

9. Let Go of Resentment

Burning issues and resentment are a sure fire way to kill passion in a relationship. Work out your own feelings first and whether they are justified and then speak with you partner to get things ironed out. Speak to your partner to check that they aren’t harbouring any grudges. If they are, get them sorted too

10. Be Romantic

Buy flowers, give a massage, send them a text and tell them you love them, leave love notes, make breakfast in bed, write a poem, tell them all the things you love about them… be romantic

11. Readjust Your Thinking

Getting comfortable and into a routine with a partner may seem to take the shine off of the relationship however try thinking about it in a different way. You don’t need to worry about the hassle of the dating game, you have someone you love and can have intimate times with

12. Rekindle The Sexual Passion

There are many ways to rekindle sexual passion. Change patterns on initiating sex, spend time on foreplay, be curious about their body, vary the types of sex you have and make sex a priority.

13. Understand The Fluctuations

No relationship can be passionate 100% of the time. Understand that there will be ebbs and flows. Don’t worry if the passion isn’t there all the time (just if it goes completely)

14. Surprise

15. Variety

Change things up a bit. Break the routine. Go to a different restaurant, drink in a different place, go for a walk somewhere new. Try some new experiences (peaceful soul suggestions here)

16. Understand Passion

Passion means different things to different people. Particularly men and women. Understand that sexual passion may not equate to the same mental and physical passion as others may see it. Give them the passion they need

17. Be flirtatious

A bit of extra flirtatious fun can be just what’s needed to bring the spark back. Send a naughty text, make eye contact more, smile, use body language, touch, tease them a little. Flirt with them

18. Work On Yourself

Building your own confidence and self esteem will work wonders for your relationship. If you look and feel at your best, you will have positive energy which can reignite the spark to your partner

19. Date Night

Date nights are becoming more and more popular and are a great way to keep passion alive. Set aside a day a week (or every couple of weeks) to go out and do something fun and exciting. Start doing the things that you did when you first met.  

20. Compliment Them
