The Two Magic Words That Can Re-Ignite The Passion In Your Relationship

The Malady
It happens to most of us. You have a solid, stable relatonship. You and your partner love each other. You complement each other well.
Then you wake up one day and realize the passion in your relationship seems to have dimmed.
You both still care for each other very deeply, but what was once very exciting, even electric about your bond (conversations, sex, etc.) has become, well, routine.
The Cure
Don't worry! This occurs with most couples who have been together for an extended period of time. The good news? You can begin to re-ignite your passion for one another with these two magic words:
Thank You!
Now, I realize that there are countless sites that offer numerous tips on how to put the excitement back in your relationship, and most are valid. Even I have written about relationship ruts.
However, an often overlooked root cause for the boredom we experience with our partners stems from the fact that, over time, we tend to start taking each other for granted.
The Challenge
Okay, to prove my point, take my challenge: make it a point to notice all of the things that your partner does for you, no matter how large or small.
Then, when he/she least expects it, express your heartfelt gratitude. Do this frequently. After about a week or so, my bet is you may be surprised at how your partner responds!
Please, don't underestimate the power of gratitude. Remember, we all long to feel appreciated, especially by those we care about.
When you sow seeds of gratitude in your relationship, you will reap many benefits, including the passion you both deserve.

I love the simple tips, because they are the ones that you can do consistently. Saying thank you and making your spouse or partner feel appreciated is such an important thing, and it is so easy to do. I also think that taking the time to properly greet your spouse is very important to rekindling a relationship if you've fallen into that rut where you just look up from what you are doing and say "hi" rather than to stop whatever you are doing and greet them with a hug a kiss. Nearly everyone comes home tired and often a little grumpy, and a nice greeting is a sure fire way to set the tone for a wonderful evening.
This is a very good tip! And believe it or not i have done this and it does work and make a difference! Sometimes we start to expect things
and then dont take the time to say Thanks and i love you which is sooo important!
Adrienne, I completely agree that "thank you" plus " I love you" is a pretty powerful combination!
