Do you remember the first time you dated your spouse?
Bubbling with excitement and filled with anticipation. Don’t you just love these feelings?
The relationship starts to grow. The anxiety subsides and you just want to see more of each other. You do everything in your power to develop and foster the relationship and make sure it continues to grow.
Eventually everything falls into place and you marry and settle down with the person of your dreams. You just want those feelings to last forever and never die.
It is when you are having these feelings that it is easy to assume that things will always be the same. However, it is at this point you can so easily begin to take things for granted, and the point when future marriage problems are hatched.
Taking the relationship for granted is a sure way of heading towards disaster. If this is happening, or has happened, to you it is imperative you put some heart into bringing back some excitement into the relationship…NOW!
Remember there is no finishing line, no end zone to how far and how much you can grow and nurture your love for each other

I couldn’t wait to read this…then was dissapointed when there were no examples of what to do. I need to know how to regain those feelings! My husband and I are finding our life and each other BORING, we have heard all of the others’ “stories”, we have the same discussions, say the same things over and over…including “I love you” which only feels like WORDS with no feeling anymore. I can hardly stand it! My husband is not (and never has been) a physically sexual man…he doesn’t care for it and isn’t very good at it when he does it and I would rather not be bothered…it is not sexual intimacy ideas I am requiring…it is emotional & mental sorts of intimacy plans I need! It was exciting just spending time together in the beginning..now I almost have a sign of relief when he goes to work and I can be alone…I’m sick and tired of countless hours of TV watching, or napping…we do the odd activity together but not anything on a regular basis, he has different religious beliefs than I do and each thinks the others’ is incorrect…there are many of the “small things” I could tell you that in and of themselves mean nothing but we are almost tired of being together and it frightens me to think we are at the beginning of the end! Please help!
