The honeymoon period during a marriage does not last for long as it has a shelf life of its own. However, this does not mean you can’t keep things exciting, which will revive feelings of anticipation and excitement for you and your spouse.
Even though your marriage will have to navigate through rough patches, you can’t take such things lightly. If you and your spouse wish to overcome all problems that may come your way while keeping things exciting and entertaining like at the start of a relationship, here are 15 ideas to consider.
1Appreciate your Partner

After being married for years upon years, it is imperative that you appreciate your partner at all times. Well, these tiny things matter. Knowing your partner appreciate you, gives you the confidence you need to go about your daily life without feeling miserable. There is nothing wrong with becoming familiar with one another, but this can prove quite dangerous. Avoid getting into the same routine and spend time with your spouse to let them know they mean the world to you. This becomes even more of a necessity considering how a majority of men who cheat blame emotional dissatisfaction rather than lack of intimacy for becoming vulnerable to advances from other women.

Rather than keeping tabs on who does what, focus on appreciating what your partner does. Thank them for making an effort, and rest assured, it will go a long way. If you focus on all the positive things your partner does, you will encourage them to do so more often. Also, you will feel motivated to do the same in return, which ensures you both stay happy.

3Be Honest

Remember, a marriage cannot survive without honesty. Regardless of the fact you are ashamed or not, you will need to come out clean; if you value your marriage that is. If you hide things from your spouse, he/she will know, and that is a fact. Eventually, you will not connect with your partner the way you did before, resulting in communication problems - the kind that may even require counseling to get back on track.

No matter how much you love each other, do whatever is needed to look your absolute best. As shallow as it may seem, think about how you met your partner for the first time. Ask yourself, could you have dressed lousily? Obviously, no. If you take care of your appearance, your spouse will notice and will compliment you. In fact, they may take care of their own appearance to appease you.
