Relationships and marriages are usually very exciting in the beginning. Sadly, this initial excitement often wanes after a few years causing the healthy relationship to settle into a dull routine. However, not all marriages are like this. There are ways in which a married couple can avoid going into complacency and maintain excitement in the relationship.

Keep Your Marriage Exciting with Fun Activities for Couples

Spontaneity is the best way to keep your marriage from falling into a routine. Be open to trying new things and activities on a whim. You don’t have to make big decisions and spend lots of money irresponsibly In order to be spontaneous. You can do simple things such as picking something new at the grocery store or trying a new recipe for dinner. Alternatively, just hold your partner’s hand in public or give him or her a spontaneous kiss.

When you’re being spontaneous, some things may not go as expected. The trick to enjoying yourself is to not sweat the small stuff and just go with the flow.  For instance, if you decide to try a new restaurant on a whim, you may have to wait a while for a table. If this happens, just enjoy a drink as you wait for a table.

Pampering your spouse is another way to maintain excitement in a healthy relationship. For instance, offering a spontaneous massage when your spouse is worn out and tired is the kind of selfless compassion that keeps a relationship exciting. Sensual massages can also be used to spice up intimacy in a marriage.

Trying new activities together also helps to keep things exciting. The activities do not necessarily have to be adrenaline-filled extreme sports such as bungee jumping or zip lining, if you are not into such activities. It can be just as exciting to take an instructional class on cooking, pottery, dance or horse riding together. The excitement comes from interacting with each other in a new and unfamiliar environment. If a class isn’t for you, try exploring a new location such as an amusement park with your partner. Having shared experiences with your partner is thrilling and it draws the two of you together.

The excitement in your marriage can only fade away if you allow it to. If you want a healthy, non-boring relationship, follow this new relationship advice. Remember, it is easier to prevent the spark from fading away than to try and rekindle it.
