Relationships go through ebbs and flows and it’s normal to have “down” periods where the sparks aren’t flying, as well as “up” periods where they are. That said, relationships do take work to maintain, and there are things you can do to stir things up in a healthy way.
I’ve written a book for couples who want to get to know each other more intimately and I think you’d get a lot out of them. The first one is called Ideas for a Fun Date, and it gives you new arenas and new things to try that bring out the best and unexpected in each other. You can order that book at this link: [url][/url]. I’m not sure how much of an issue sex is, but I’ve also written a book to help couples get the X back in their sex lives, and it’s called Romantic Date Ideas, and you can order that one here: [url]http://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/romantic-date-ideas.html[/url]. My suggestion is to order both books and give one to her and you take one, then each be responsible for planning a new date each week based on the books’ ideas. I’m really sure this will help you two problem solve together and get to know each other more intimately as well. And by the way — these two skills, problem solving together, and growing more intimate together, are glue for a relationship.
So, let me know how it goes. Also, join me on Facebook — I’d love to see you there. Here’s the link where you can click through and become a free member of AskApril.com on Facebook: [url][/url].
