In this busy and fast paced world, it cannot be denied that married couples sometimes forget about doing things that can inspire each other. This is a reality especially for couples who both work or run a business. But a husband and wife should know that danger is lurking if they continue to be in this situation.Too much focus on work can really have a negative effect on any marital relationship. It can make a person dull and your marriage boring. This has been a common complaint among couples in the past years but know that there’s always a way to liven up your situation.Both parties need to take the extra effort to spice up their relationship no matter how preoccupied they are with their professional and business careers. But while this is so, society normally looks at the wives to be responsible for keeping the marriage intact.Sometimes, the basics tend to be ignored. Simple things such as smelling and looking good for your husband, keeping the house especially your bedroom neat and clean, sending romantic text messages or saying “I love you” every morning or before you go to sleep can actually make a big difference.And perhaps one important thing that should never be forgotten is to take time to go on a date. Remember the time when you first met? Isn’t it that you started to get to know each other through dating? Isn’t it that you enjoyed your dates back then?The feeling of being in love should be kept alive even after marriage. And dating is one effective way of nurturing your marital relationship. Just because you’re already married does not mean that what you used to do can no longer be done now. Marriage therapists, in fact, strongly recommend going on date nights as a way to share an intimate time with each other without your work or children getting in the way.A date is a time for a couple to talk about their plans for their family, their future endeavors and dreams. This can be a bit of a challenge notably if it’s been a long time since the two of you last went out on a date.Make sure to schedule your date nights with your spouse. Encourage your partner to set aside a specific time for an exclusive date. If you have kids, ask your parent, sibling or an in-law to look after them while you go on a date.Go some place quiet where you can relax together. If you prefer a late afternoon date, going on a picnic at an area with a wonderful view of nature would be a great idea.If you’d like to go out during night time, a romantic dinner at a quiet restaurant near the bay would be fantastic. Or if you live in a coastal area, dining out at the beach under the moonlight would be a romantic idea. But of course, you can think of other exciting ways to date. Be creative.Remember that spending quality time as a husband and wife is a must. It wouldn’t take much to spare a few hours each week to be with your partner and share a quiet moment together.
