30 Ways to Spice Up Your Marriage!
Bathe Together
I know what you are thinking, “I just need a few minutes alone,” Trust me, I used to think this too! But then I discovered how intimate it can be to just relax with one another in the tub. Sometimes we talk to each other. Other times, we just relax, but it is just comforting and such a spark ignitor in marriage!
Something fun things to add to your couple’s bath time might be a bath bomb or some Epsom salts with a foam bath!
Give Each Other Massages
My hubby knows the ticket to my heart is a good massage! If I am grumpy and he feels like the spark in our marriage is fading he grabs my foot and starts rubbing! Certainly, this leads to great back massages and other things (wink, wink). So, never underestimate the power of a good massage!
Candlelight Dinner
When our kids were small it was hard to have a date night! We felt like date night was impossible! So, we learned very quickly to improvise. One of our favorite ways was with candlelight dinners. We still do this even though some of our kids are older and can watch the little ones! But we light the candles, turn on some music, open some sparkling cider and we enjoy dinner for 2 while the kids are either in bed or upstairs!
Strolling Through the Neighborhood During Sunset
Ty’s favorite thing to do is going on Sunday strolls around the neighborhood. The kids get their bikes or scooters out, we grab the stroller for the littlest ones and we walk around the neighborhood together. As Ty and I walk we will occasionally hold hands, but most of all just enjoy each other’s company. These simple moments will spice up your marriage in no time!
Send them a Love Letter
I know mail is so old school, but how do you feel when you open the mailbox and there is an actual letter rather than a stack of junk mail and bills? Exactly! Then imagine your spouse opening the letter and seeing a note from his wife or all the amazing things you think about him. I can pretty much guarantee that sparks will be flying that night!
Blindfold One Another
Grab two blindfolds, like good ones, and just sit holding each other’s hands. Although you might think this might be weird it is actually one of the best ways to spice up your marriage. I’m getting chills just thinking about it! Go try it, like today! Oh, the blindfold. Admittedly I was a little worried about how this would play out, but holy cow! That’s all I am going to say! Grab a blindfold, a little feather duster and just relax and trust!
Love Notes
Everyone loves love notes, so why not grab a notebook and take turns writing them back and forth to each other. Not only will this spark intimacy and love, but on those hard days reading these messages will help you forgive faster!
Mini Staycation
Everyone loves to get away, so why not go on a mini staycation. Pack the bags, find a friend to watch the kids for a night, and head into town and explore. While exploring, hold hands and enjoy each other!
