How to Keep the Passion & Romance Alive in Your Marriage

March 13, 2006 | Author: Cindy | Filed under: Marriage

In Ellen Kriedman’s book Light His Fire, her core belief is that men fall in love because of the way they feel about themselves when they are with their wife. Ms. Kriedman believes that if you don’t have a love affair with your partner, someone else will! Here are some tips to keep the flame burning in your own “house of love”.

· Tell your mate how glad you are that he/she is a part of your life and how lucky I am to have him/her.

· Tell your mate that I love him just the way he/she is and that I wouldn’t trade him/her for any other man/woman in the world.

· Compliment your spouse often for his/her physical attributes (anything you find sexy).

· Compliment your spouse for the things he/she does (from playing with the children, to fixing the car)

· Compliment your spouse for the things he/she says (if funny, complimentary, a dreamer, a problem solver, a verbal person, non verbal, etc.).

· Compliment your spouse for the things he/she stands for (honesty, loyalty, dependability, a risk taker, confident, etc.).

· Make a list of some famous character who are especially masculine (ex. For men: Tarzan, King Kong, Rocky, Rambo, Superman, Casanova, Adonis) or feminine (ex: for Woman: Cat Woman, Betty Boop, Jessica Rabbit, Wonder Woman, Holly-Go-Lightly (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), Venus). Find opportunities to compare your spouse to one of these characters, saying something like, “Oh honey, you’re as strong as the Incredible Hulk,” after he does something that requires masculine strength, or if she does something that shows her feminity.

· Listen to your spouse, with your heart, not your head.

· Validate his/her feelings when he or she has a bad day at work. Just offer understanding without giving advice.

· Avoid constructive criticism or trying to “fix everything”.

· Touch your spouse – every single day!

· When your spouse comes home from work or being away for the day, greet them with a 10 second kiss (let them know you would like to try this as an experiment. It will make you feel closer the rest of the evening!).

· Wear, use or display a gift from your spouse.

· The next time your spouse makes a suggestion, follow it.

· Remember to be a lover at least part of the time…

hi all, was jus browsing through, and skimmed read through, me and my husband have been married for just over a year now but were together for three years before that, we have a 6 month old son and am now 2months pregnant, and I can honestly say that we are still strong since day one, and nothing has changed, as in physically showing our love to eachother and emotionally, why??? I believe with all honesty is due to our faith and reliance in our Heavenly Father, and how we dont see “LOVE” for eachother as an emotion, but something God had intended from the very beginning and ‘believing’ it… does become hard at times, but choose those moments to be there for eachother… God Loves You for who you are and he made you all in his image… start seeing eachother as he does and I’m telling you, you will see the beauty within your husband or wife forever till death do you part, and ‘nothing’ can ever take the happiness you both deserve away… and to the ladies, jus a lil something I always do with my husband which has worked since day 1… be submissive to him, not as an order, but because you love him…
God bless you all more than he already has…
