Relationship Advice

This Is How I Make My Relationship Spicier

Simple also works

Photo by Mihail Tregubov on Unsplash

This is my essay on how I make my relationship spicier. First I need to say that I love my partner, but sometimes the day-to-day routine can make our relationship a little monotonous. Therefore, I try to spice things up and positively surprise him.

How do I do it? Well, I use my creativity to the fullest. However, that’s not all that will make you boost your dating/marriage. You need to understand some basic things first.

Burn this deep in your memory: Men are visual, and women are sensory.

“What does that mean?” You must be thinking. Well, that’s a basic thing everyone needs to learn when it comes to keeping a relationship alive. It means that men are easily attracted by what they see, whereas women are more attracted by what they feel.

In a quick explanation, it would be more or less like this: in a dark street, the man would go towards a point of light without knowing if it is safe there or not. The woman would think a lot more about what that point of light would be before she finally went towards it.

Okay, now you know that men are attracted to what they see. But back to the main topic: how does this help me spice up my relationship and never fall into a rut? Well, that’s what I’m going to tell you now!

I kick out traditional scenarios

That’s right you read. I don’t like repeating the same scenario every time we decide to date. This is boring, comfortable, and routine. For this reason, I love testing new places, scenarios, etc — My tip for you is: go out more with your partner, test new environments, go to the beach, enjoy hotels, enjoy resorts, and have fun in parks. Create unique moments that will make you feel more connected. Dating in these spaces can also be a lot of fun for both of you.

I make good investments in underwear

As I said before: men are highly visual. And what man wouldn’t want to see his partner in sexy and provocative lingerie? I believe everyone would like to have that privilege.

For the same reason, I spare no effort when I go to buy a new piece of lingerie. Sometimes I even opt for a few different ones that value my body and even my personality. Besides, I also like to feel beautiful and desired and to see the look in his eyes when he sees me with surprise.

I try different personalities

Sometimes the changes go beyond the scenery and even the provocative clothes: I also try different personalities.

My partner likes to get to know my different sides, so when the provocative outfit or different setting isn’t having as much effect as it should, I change my personality a little and make things happen.

Sometimes he likes me to be a little more aggressive, other times he prefers me to be more “sly”, and there are days when he wants a more “naughty” personality — It varies a lot with the place, the outfit, and especially with our mood.

Final Thoughts

Improving a relationship doesn’t have to be that hard, you just have to try things you’ve always been afraid to try and see where it goes. It could be that what you are afraid to try with your love is something that can boost your relationship with him.

I’ve been through this myself several times. At the beginning of my relationship, I was always afraid to try something new, and because of that, we fell into a routine many, many times. However, when we saw that our relationship was on the verge of breaking, we decided to risk doing everything we always wanted and we lived such incredible experiences that have united us until today.

If you want to take advice from me, don’t hold back. Enjoy the emotion of experiencing something new for the first time, strengthen your ties, improve your intimacy, trust each other more, and above all… be happy together.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
