10 Ways to Rekindle the Romance In Your Marriage

You might think that rekindling the romance in your marriage is tough, but that's not the case! What makes it difficult are people who are too self-centered, stubborn or too lazy to do what it takes.

In today's Call of the Day episode, "You've Got to Give Love to Get Love," Frank's wife is fed up with the lack of effort he puts into being sweet, fun and romantic with her. Listening to this call, you'll learn that rekindling your romance isn’t rocket science. And, today's blog post will tell you exactly how to do that.

Here are a few ideas to begin with:

1. Be silly together.

   Remember how you were when you first got together? Take the time to make each other laugh! Go to your local petting zoo and be like kids again. Being cute and having fun with each other is a great way to reconnect.

2. Have little adventures together.

   Look in the local newspaper to see what’s going on near you. Have you wanted to try something different in town? The simple act of being together in new environments strengthens what you already have.

3. Make dinner together.

   Stand there and prep together! If one is chopping the vegetables, the other can be stirring the pot. Or switch it up — go on the Internet, find a ridiculously complicated recipe and see if the two of you can pull it off.

4. Put your phones away when you’re with each other. 

   Be in the moment, rather than in the screen. Time is precious, and there are so many more memories waiting to be made!

The list doesn't stop here, nor should you!

It Isn't Hard to Be Your Husband's Girlfriend

Although it takes two to tango, someone has to take the first step. Linda silenced her inner female critic and decided to try something different for a change:

I've been married to my husband for almost 40 years, but things have stagnated in the bedroom lately. I stumbled on your Deep Dive episode on marital sex (by divine intervention I think).

Then yesterday, I heard you talking to a caller about the same topic of being your husband’s "girlfriend.”

My female stubbornness kicked in quite hard. Yes, I can be that women who thinks, “Why isn't he paying attention to me? And why am I always the one who has to try?” But I settled down and continued to listen.

I put your advice into action yesterday evening, and I forgot how easy it was to please my husband.

I greeted him back home with a kiss, some delicious dinner, and we watched baseball together. You advised your caller to wait 24 hours and “see what happens." It didn't take quite that long for me! I woke up this morning at 5:30, heard the word "girlfriend" and said yes to my husband’s advances. It’s been some time since he made the first move.

I’m proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

 Thank you for all the hard work you do. I will continue being my husband’s girlfriend because he DESERVES it.
