Despite how excited we may be about someone in the beginning, like any relationship, things can start to feel routine after a while. However, as most relationship experts will tell you, your relationship can be compared to fire. A blazing flame will eventually burn out. Not to mention, flames can be volatile. True love is a burning coal that stands the test of time. However, a little dash of flame is  always good from time to time to keep the coal burning. If you're looking for some ways to spice up your marriage then look no further 

Surprise Date Night

There's nothing quite like a surprise date to spice things up. When your significant other gets home from work, surprise them with an impromptu reservation at a restaurant. Put on a nice pair of shoes, tell them to do the same, and go out and enjoy yourselves! Just because you're married doesn't mean you have to stop courting each other.

After all, marriage is all about continuing to nurture your love and intimacy. Surprising each other with date ideas is a wonderful way to keep the spark going.

Send Love Notes

While handwritten love letters are a thing of the past, text messages can be just as romantic. Sending spontaneous love messages throughout the day isn't just romantic, it can actually be exciting. A flirty text message in the middle of the day reminds your significant other that you're thinking of them, and that you still find them exciting and attractive. Why not send a sassy selfie along with the love note too? After all, that's what the young folks are doing these days! 

Take on a Shared Hobby

Although it's encouraged and healthy for each of you to have hobbies of your own, choosing a hobby to enjoy together gives you an opportunity to bond as a couple. There are all sorts of different things you can do together. Maybe you can take a dance class, or even try out a new sport. The idea is to create a shared experience that will strengthen your connection and encourage teamwork.

Spontaneous Intimacy

Remember at the beginning of your relationship when you would kiss each other anywhere anytime no matter what the circumstances? Chances are your significant other hasn't forgotten either. There's no reason why you can't enjoy that same exciting spontaneity again. Why not spontaneously kiss your spouse while eating dinner, or walk into the living room wearing fancy lingerie? The more you can throw yourself at them when they least expect it, the more your relationship will thrive. The element of surprise is incredibly exciting, especially when you assume that those days are over.
