3 Ways to 'respark back into your relationship

Are you frustrated that your relationship doesn’t have the magic and romance that it once had? Feel like you're stuck in a rut and always doing the same things?

You’re not alone. After dating someone for a long time, it's easy to slip into a stable and comfortable routine. However, you often lose the spark that made your relationship so special in the first place. Not to worry, here are three simple, fun and creative ways to reignite that magic:

1. GIVE THEM A UNIQUE GIFT

Name a Star after your partner. A number of astronomical agencies allow individuals to name stars and you receive formal documentation identifying the star that you have named. Or how about this: Give your partner a magic gift box, and

every month place a new small gift in the box for your beloved to discover.



2. SAY "I LOVE YOU" IN A UNIQUE WAY

Take a book that your partner is reading and, using a pencil, underline letters in a section of the book she has yet to read to spell out a secret message of "I love you" or an entire love letter.



You can use Rain-X anti-fog (sold near the motor oil) and use a cotton swab to write a “hidden” message on the bathroom mirror.  When it fogs up the message will magically appear.



3. START GOING ON DATES AGAIN

One thing that separates couples with 'out of this world' relationships, is they never stop doing new, fun and exciting things with their partner.

Spend the day doing fun things: go to the carnival, the beach, have a water fight, stare at the clouds on a grassy hill, go on a picnic, walk in the rain without raincoats and umbrellas, dress up in funny costumes and hit the town. Or how about this: Pick your partner up for a date and blindfold him/her before driving to a special destination. Try to make the destination something really unexpected like a table set up at the top of a cliff or a dinner on a boat or old-fashioned ship. It needs to be something that will have an impact when the blindfold is removed.
