Marriage ain't a bed of roses but it shouldn't feel like thorns and thistles all the time either. Sure you've got demanding jobs and bills to pay and children to feed, but you can't let that destroy the romance. Maybe it's time the two of you just kick back and enjoy each other, just like you did in the good old days.
You need time alone
Even though you live under the same roof, the routine of the week can become very mundane. According to family psychiatrist Dr. Ruksheda, couples get bored of going to work and coming back home, so it is important that they do something together that breaks this routine.
"Recreation is important for the couple, it builds memories for them. This keeps the marriage interesting," she adds.
At home you end up bickering over the bills and maids. You keep running to answer the doorbell or the phones. This doesn't leave you with enough time to really bond with your husband.
Getting out of the house, away from the everyday routine freshens up your relationship with your partner. You are not worried about getting the house cleaned, reaching work on time or cooking meals.
When you are spending that special time with him, don't bring up issues which you have been fighting over. You don't want an argument to tarnish your evening and ruin what could be a memory to look back at.
