It is very easy to get caught up in the routines of every day, between work, house chores, etc. sometimes this leaves us (and our partner) feeling stuck in a rut.

Doing something new and out of the ordinary can make a couple closer and improve their relationship. It is also a way to get to know your partner better, even when you think you might already know everything about him/her.

Ideas To Reignite The Passion In Your Relationship

Here are 6 activities to reignite the passion in your relationship, as well as to discover more about and bond with your partner:

Get rid of technology for a day

Unplug from digital devices to fully dedicate your time to your better half. Appreciate their presence and avoid any distractions from work, social media, apps, calls, texts, etc.

Share something new about yourself

When you have been together for a few years, it’s easy to think that you know everything about one another. Sharing something you have never told your partner before can be a fun way of reliving the initial excitement you feel at the beginning of a new relationship when everything is exciting and new.

Exercise together

Doing workouts together is a great way to bond with your partner, and stay fit at the same time. Spending time together and being active gets you outside, moving, and sharing a common goal of an effective workout. Apps like 30 Day Fitness for example, offer a great variety of workout circuits that couples can easily do together at home or at a local park.

Plan a trip

There is nothing like traveling with your partner to get to know each other even better and to disconnect from your day-to-day routine. Part of the fun is also researching destinations you’d like to visit together, making a bucket list and writing down some sightseeing spots and activities. It’s not essential to go abroad on a huge trip, you can even just plan a nice day trip or a weekend somewhere not too far from where you live, the important thing is spending time together.

Learn something new

Doing something new together gets you both out of your comfort zone and be a great way to make new memories. Choose something neither of you has ever done, like a cooking class, an art class, dancing lessons, etc. Who knows, you might even find a new hobby!

Especially when you are in a long-term relationship, it can be easy to get comfortable in a routine but shaking things up and doing something new is a great way to reignite the passion. Spending quality time together and doing fun activities may even give you the chance to discover a new side of your partner’s personality.
