10 Creative Ways to Spice Up Your Marriage

There are many simple ways to spice up your marriage and keep things interesting. In this blog post, we will discuss 10 different tips that can help you give your marriage a boost.

Some of these include keeping the romance alive, spending time together as a couple, and having an open communication with each other about what you want in the relationship.

It’s not uncommon for couples to start taking each other for granted after years of being together. The good news is that it’s never too late to make changes in order to spice up the relationship!

How to Spice Up Your Marriage

Here are a few easy ways you can change things up and bring back some excitement:

1. Incorporate More Physical Touch

If you want to spice up your marriage, it’s not only about sex. It’s about touching.

Research shows that couples have higher relationship satisfaction when they show their love through non-sexual physical affection.

Touch is one of the most powerful ways that we experience intimacy in our lives and can be just as pleasurable for us as sexual contact, if not more so. And yet, somehow it gets neglected in relationships all too often.

Touch draws people closer together and makes them feel cared for and loved by their partner. So what are some ways to incorporate touch into your relationship? Try these ideas:

• Hold hands when you walk with each other
• Put an arm around your spouse when sitting next to them
• Give a shoulder rub after work
• Cuddle on the couch while you watch your favorite show

It is not a secret that sex is a key ingredient in a good marriage. In fact, it’s the glue that binds many happy marriages together. And while you might think your spouse would always be up for some lovemaking, the truth is they may need to be coaxed out of their comfort zone every now and then to get back into the groove.

This can be done by adding more physical touch to your routine - from hugs, back massages or even just holding hands during dinner! You’ll both feel happier and better connected with each other when you spice things up with some extra TLC.

2. Be Open to New Ideas

It’s a common problem: after years of marriage, your spouse knows you so well that they know how to push your buttons and get the best out of you.

You can feel like there’s nothing new or interesting left for them to see in you. But it doesn’t have to be this way! You can create interest by being open to new ideas from your partner. Here are some ways:

• Go on an adventure together. Find something new and exciting for both of you to do, without planning it ahead of time.
• Do something that makes him/her uncomfortable and encourage your spouse's exploration into their own limits (within reason).
• Try something outside the box, like taking a relationship quiz for couples.

Most marriages are on a slow downward spiral because of lack of communication.

In order to keep things interesting and spice up your marriage, you need to be open minded with your spouse about new ideas. This way you will never get bored with the same old routine and it will provide an opportunity for growth.

The next time your spouse suggests something try going along with them without questioning their idea first, even if it sounds crazy!

3 Compliment Your Partner

Spice up your marriage by giving your spouse compliments everyday! According to recent research, people who give their partners five compliments a day are more likely to stay with them. The same is true of those who praise their partner’s cooking or appearance.

To build that sense of love and admiration in your relationship, try complimenting your partner a few times every day. You’ll be surprised how much it can change the way you feel about each other. And don’t worry if they seem ungrateful at first; they might just need time to adjust.

The key is consistency–it doesn’t matter what kind of compliment you give as long as you keep doing it daily for thirty days straight, even when you’re feeling annoyed or frustrated with each other.

4. Look Through Old Photos Together

Relationships are complicated. You have to deal with the same person every day, and you don’t always see eye-to-eye on everything. Sometimes it feels like your partner doesn’t understand you at all.

Those kinds of problems can lead to arguments, or worse—a total loss of interest in each other. But there are ways to avoid those feelings becoming permanent!

One way is by looking through old photos together from when you first met, which will take your mind off any current grievances that might be causing friction between the two of you. It will remind both partners what they once liked about their significant other—and why they fell in love with them in the first place!

When you look at photos from the past, it’s easier to see how much has changed and what makes this relationship so special.

You may even find that there are things that don’t change over time—things like love, respect, and happiness. It doesn’t matter if you were just married yesterday or 50 years ago! Just by looking through old photos together, you can spice up your marriage more than anything else in the world!

5. Send Sexy Text Messages

It is never too late to spice up your marriage and keep things interesting. A great way to do this may be by sending flirty text messages instead of just the usual “good morning” or “I’m on my way home.”

These texts can show that you are thinking about them even when they aren’t right next to you. You could also use these as an opportunity for a little teasing, as long as it doesn’t go overboard and become mean-spirited.

If you know your partner’s daily routine, try to send your text at a time when they are most likely to be free. For example, if they usually check their phone right when they get to work in the morning, send them a message then.

But don’t wait until the last minute! You want it to seem like an intentional part of your day-to-day communication, not something that you only do when you’re feeling particularly frisky.

If all else fails, just shoot them a dirty emoji and see what happens… 😜

6. Dress to Impress

If you want to spice up your marriage, dress to impress them. Don’t worry about what other people think of how you look, because they’re not the ones in a committed relationship with you.

You don’t have to go out and buy a new wardrobe or anything like that either; just make sure your hair is nice, wear something from time to time that makes you feel good about yourself. It’s easy enough!

You don’t have to spend a lot of money or time dressing up, but you can make it fun and exciting by trying out different styles with your spouse.

This will keep things interesting for both of you and if done on a regular basis, you might find that this new habit becomes contagious. A little effort goes a long way in the world of romance!

7. Go on More Dates Together

People don’t always think about their marriage as a place where they are supposed to have fun. The truth is, the only way to keep your relationship alive and well is by making sure you put time into it. And one of the best ways to do that is by going on dates with your spouse regularly.

Set up a date night once or twice a week at home, cooking dinner together and maybe watching Netflix while cuddling on the couch. This doesn’t need to be anything fancy–just focused attention from both spouses will be enough to ignite a spark.

8. Clean Up Your Bedroom

I’m sure you can think of plenty of ways to spice up your marriage. But, what about the bedroom? Can you recall the last time you cleaned it?

The room where most people spend a third or more of their lives shouldn’t be neglected. A messy bedroom can make for an unpleasant and uncomfortable place to sleep, but moreover, it is an embarrassing symbol that your relationship is dying.

A person’s bedroom is their sanctuary. It should be a place of peace, privacy and relaxation. A good night’s sleep starts with the right environment, so it’s important to keep your bedroom tidy and organized.

Get rid of any clutter or mess that might be sitting around on your floor, bedside table and dresser top. The only things should be your alarm clock (because you definitely need to know what time it is), lamps, maybe a nice throw blanket for those chilly winter nights and some candles if you’re into that sort of thing.

9. Smile More

Do you spend your days in a funk? Is there a perpetual scowl on your face? It’s time to break up with that attitude and smile more often!

Smiling is contagious, so the next time you see someone frowning at you, give them a genuine smile. Or even better, make eye contact and say something nice to them. Don’t believe it works? Then start practicing today. You have nothing to lose but those unsightly frown lines!

The idea of “spicing up” a marriage may conjure images of wild sex in the kitchen, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

The truth is you can spice up your marriage by being more positive and smiling more often.

10. Go on a Romantic Getaway

It’s no secret that living with someone can become routine and boring. The same old, same old day in and day out–eating dinner at the kitchen table and watching TV on the couch together (or not).

But there are ways for couples to make their marriage more interesting again. One way is by getting away from home for a romantic getaway.

This will give you the opportunity to explore new things together, because it’s difficult to do so when you are spending every day with each other. It can also help reconnect you emotionally and bring back that feeling of anticipation for what’s coming next!
