Make the Honeymoon Last, Six Secrets to Keep the Fires Burning
By Robert Crowell
Guys, whether you are married or in a long term relationship, everyone wants to know - what are the secrets to making the honeymoon last? There are six main things that you need to do to keep her waiting on the edge of her seat. Do these things and you will end up in a long, loving and sexy relationship.
First you both need to decide to keep the honeymoon alive. The main reason that people do not keep the honeymoon feeling is that they do not decide to. You have to consciously commit, early in the relationship, to spend the time, energy and effort to keep that honeymoon feeling. This should be the type of commitment that all of us feel good about.
Second, just like the actual honeymoon, kiss her - a lot! Even if you've been together for years and years, you should kiss her good morning, kiss her goodnight, and kiss her when you get home from work, or when she gets home from work! Your minimum should be at least three times a day. If you're not displaying your love for her in a physical way and keeping that constant reminding going, you will have a hard time keeping the honeymoon feeling alive.
Just like kissing, tell her that you love her. This also should be done at least three times every day! It is very important not just to know that you love her, but also to verbalize your feelings on an ongoing basis. You did it during the honeymoon; continue to do it now and throughout your relationship.
Go for walks! Spend time together away from the house, the apartment, and if possible, the children. Walks are great because the silence wants to be filled up with conversation. Since there is nothing else to do, you should end up talking about things you have in common, things you want to do together and your dreams. This constant reconnection does not have to be in the form of a vacation to Cancun (although that's OK), but it does need to happen often. You need time to communicate about your lives together and going for walks is the perfect way to do it
Go on dates! This part is obvious to some extent. As your relationship grows, people tend to fall into predictable patterns and boring dates. Your dates may have been limited early in your relationship due to lack of funds and you may have less to spend as you start a family, but that is okay! Whether you are rich or not rich, find inventive ways to go on dates. There are tons of ideas here on the Internet. Use them and modify them to make them your own. One of the best and least expensive date ideas for reconnecting is to go to a children’s playground. Swing on the swings, ride the seesaw and generally reconnect with your childhood and with each other. Cool date for not much money.
Finally, be a bit unpredictable. This was part of what was exciting when you were on the honeymoon. This takes some effort, as all of us tend to fall into familiar routines over a period of time. Things that you can do to be unpredictable include having flowers sent to her for no good reason and no particular holiday. Buy candy for the same non-reasons. Take half the day off, show up at noon and take her to a baseball game (if she likes baseball), an art gallery or a walk in the park, and then to dinner! The unexpected is what made things exciting before and keeps them exciting now. This is something special you can do to keep the honeymoon feeling alive.
The honeymoon period of your relationship was exciting and new. You were in a committed relationship, but you did not know everything about each other. Using the six steps above will help to not only keep you connected as your spend your lives together, but keep that sexy honeymoon feeling!
