If you’re looking to add a bit of flavor back into your relationship, check out these three tips.

I think we can all agree that when something is off-limits or forbidden, it suddenly becomes more appealing. Because of this, many couples have a lot of success making rules around having sex or not having sex. Try introducing more kissing and physical touch but not allowing it to lead to sex. 

Try Activities That Scare You.

If adrenaline pumps you up, you may want to add some of those activities into similar things you do together. Break up your routine and try rock climbing, skydiving, or stand-up comedy. Anything that scares you and gets the blood pumping you can do as a couple will help you lean on each other more and increase passion.

Exchange Chores For Sex.

Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. If one person carries the brunt of the housework, all that built-up resentment kills the passion. Don’t believe me? Check out this article that says exactly this. So, the next time you or your partner want sex but the other is too stressed about doing the dishes, maybe trade one for one. This way, both partners are happy, feel seen, and get what they want.
