How To Recapture That Spark In Your Marriage

By Ella Hemmings


It's easy to get so caught up in your day-to-day grind that you lose sight of one of the most important things in your life, your relationship with your spouse. It might seem hard to reconnect, but it just takes a little effort and imagination. Here are a few suggestions to help rekindle the spark.

Too often the problem is that you don't spend any time together, just the two of you, doing something fun. Make a promise to go out one night each week even if it's just for an hour or two. Go out for coffee, take a long walk, visit a local museum, pack a picnic lunch and head to the park or just enjoy a dinner for two and a movie.

Your weekly date also could take place during the day. For instance, if you are both golf lovers, consider making a weekly golf date. If you love the great outdoors, plan a weekly hike. Book a whale watching trip, rent a kayak or bicycle around the park. Go antique shopping or visit a flea market. A wine-tasting trip or going to the zoo or even something silly like miniature golf or go-karting can be fun.

When rekindling that spark, remember it's all about changing your focus and attitude. Think back to the fun times when you were dating, and remember that you never have to quit being your spouse's girlfriend or boyfriend. Spice things up a bit by sending a sweet or flirtatious text message or just pack them a special lunch with a loving note. Bring flowers home or a great new book or a fun movie. Usually if one person begins to make an effort at romance, the other partner will respond, so don't be shy about making the first move.

Sometimes it's a great idea to plan a vacation just for the two of you. Ask friends or family to watch the kids for a long weekend or even a week and get away. Select someplace where relaxation is the main focus of your trip, such as cabin in the wilderness or perhaps a cruise or a romantic trip to somewhere in paradise such as Maui. An island vacation in Maui is a particularly romantic option, filled with soft ocean breezes, warm tropical waters and spectacular sunsets. Often, a change of scene alone will help two people reconnect.

In addition to taking a trip to Maui, consider planning a romantic renewal of vows while you're on the island. This is quite easy with the help of an experienced Maui wedding planner such as the team at Love Maui Weddings. The have been planning weddings, elopements and vow renewals for many years and even offer a fun renewal package called "Love, Always," which is less than $300. The package includes the services of a local minister, a beach location for your ceremony and cute extras such as handmade fresh leis and a keepsake bottle of sand from the beach where you renew your vows. Add in a Maui sunset and a glass of champagne and you will have all the romance you need.
