In essence everyone wants a genuinely successful marriage.
The type that'll overcome the hurdles that several modern marriages seem incapable of crossing.
But
staying in a marriage, keeping it happy and ensuring that the romance
in it stays as true and effective as ever requires work.
It requires a lot of real, active effort because as Tara Fela-Durotoye put it in a recent interview with Gaposaolofofotv, people “go
into marriage thinking that the feeling they had [when they just met
their spouse] will forever stay that way, but they don’t realise that
there are times when it’s not there.”
The
five couples below reached this phase in their marriages, and according
to Women’s Health, here are the 5 ways they brought back that super
spark to their love lives.
1. We sleep naked
Uche [not her real identity] says "My
husband and I were so busy, living separate lives which affected our
sex life badly. One weekend, we decided we would just spend the weekend
alone together.
On
Saturday night, we decided to cuddle close in the nude when we went to
sleep. It worked that night, and it’s our trick till date”
2. We schedule sex
Monisola says "Sex
is the glue that holds us together. It's the difference between the
connection I have with my partner and the other people in my life I
don't have sex with. We keep scheduling sex because if we don't commit
to it the spark won't stay lit."
3. More physical touches
"One
of the reasons we're still going strong is because we make sure
to touch each other every day. It's not always sexual, but it's always
affectionate." -- Morenikeji
4. We starve ourselves of sex
According to Christy, "After
a year of dating and being sexual with each other, my guy and I decided
to take sex off the table—sometimes it's for 30 days and sometimes it's
for 90… [it makes us long for each other more. And makes the sex as
satisfying as it was at the very beginning]”
5. No phones during private times
"We
established a standing Friday night date night when we got engaged, and
it was great. But, over time, we started using our phones more
frequently on dates. One night, we both looked at each other, said, 'I
want to have quality time with you' as though we were reading from the
same script. We both smiled and put our phones down." -- Lizzy
