Six ways to get spark back in your marriage

Many people believe that marriage is another name of compromise. Yes, but this is half the truth. You have to make compromises but not at the cost of your own happiness. This where people go wrong. You let go of your own happiness for others, whereas to make others happy, you first need to be happy yourself. With time, things are taken for granted, which is very natural, and the spark disappears from the relationship. This is not the end. It is possible to revive the relationship and get back that spark. Follow these simple rules and see the spark being ignited in the relationship.

1. Communication: You need to communicate with your spouse on regular basis. You share major happenings with your spouse, but it is more important to share little everyday things that might not really seem necessary, but it will definitely increase the friendly bond between the two of you.

2. Spend Time: Make sure to take out time everyday, whether it is a 10-minute coffee together or an hour long chat in a balcony. Here, whether you talk or what you talk is not really of importance, just being together is the key. With time, you will look forward for this time together and the spark will surely come back.

3. Greetings: This is a small gesture but is very important to keep the bond strong. Greet your spouse as you greet your friends, family, colleagues, with a smile. Kiss them goodbye as you would do to a friend. We generally miss out on these small articles, which are actually very important to keep the relationship happy.

4. Vacation: Holidaying together, atleast once a year, is another important factor. Change of the environment and away from the regular routine, together, once a while, is extremely significant in making the love between the two deeper.

5. Accept: It is not always the other person’s fault. Accept, if you are wrong, apologize, say sorry. Ego should never come in between the two, if you really love your spouse. There is a very thin line between self respect and ego, do not mistake as the two being one. 

6. Make that extra effort: When you started off, you used to do a little extra to make the other person feel important. Now, when you have the person in your life, why stop that effort. Do a little extra, give surprise, get gifts, appreciate and make your spouse feel happy. Giving happiness will get you greater happiness.
