During these unconventional times and in the middle of a global pandemic, it's normal for strained relationships. For many people, the daily stress of juggling online jobs and schooling is leading to stale relationships. Others are experiencing challenges in the bedroom due to social distancing and gathering restrictions. With less opportunity for date nights, dinner out, or dancing, intimacy in relationships is suffering if you and your partner are looking for ways to spice things up and reconnect; read on for ideas to try even in the middle of a pandemic.
Telling Them You'd Do it Again.
One of the most romantic things you could do to spice things up with your spouse is to let them know you'd do it all over again. A simple search for ‘Finding the Right Engagement Ring‘ and surprising her with a second proposal could be just enough to bring back that sexual intimacy. Maybe the first time around, you didn't have the money for a ring with sparkle or the carat weight she was looking for. Nothing says you can't start fresh with a yellow gold ring in the oval shape she once said would make the perfect ring. That is, if you're already married, by using the excuse of an anniversary, birthday, or even just because, you can visit the jewelry store to find a ring that makes sense for your current lifestyle to make her feel special all over. Sexuality is tied to intimacy, so if your sexual relationship is suffering, feeling more connected and reminding her of the good times could help.
If you haven't proposed before and have thought about making your long-time partner into your fiancé, finding that emerald cut ring with the clear center stone could help you bring intimacy and sparkle back to your relationship, too.
Laughing Together
Humor has a way of helping any emotional bond. Whether sharing a laugh about the psychological benefits of having sex dolls or considering one as a surrogate for a sex life gone cold, the ability to laugh with your partner is a great way to begin any sexual encounter.
Any sex therapist will tell you that human relationships can be complicated but always enhanced when people laugh. Before running off to buy that sex robot, start with making your partner chuckle. Different ways to connect than the typical daily check-in, you might be surprised how quickly humor turns into flirtation, making the temptation to head to be bedroom all the greater.
Props and Tools for Intimacy
If you're looking to spice up your love life, now is a good time to do some searching around for props, tools, clothing, and even a love doll to cultivate more intimacy in your marriage. Start by having an honest conversation with your partner about sexual fantasies. Consider ideas like role-playing, using adult novelty and toy items, and a couple of games to give you new ideas. Set a date and create an atmosphere. Items to consider include candles, a sitter for the kids, your favorite takeout meal, a music playlist, and new sheets.
To make your date night plan feel more like a team effort, divide up the tasks to plan your sexy date night. One partner can be responsible for toys and games while the other prepares or orders the meal. In making a vow to work on bringing the heat back to the bedroom together, you're sure to rediscover yourselves.
When it's the end of the day, if you and your partner are both willing to make an effort to spice things up, the only thing left to do is put those creativity hats on. In considering ways you can reconnect through setting time aside and making each other a priority daily, you'll find yourself drawn to the bedroom again in no time.
