It has been said that being in love is similar to
having addition and you feel lovesick all the
time. When you are extremely happy with your
partner, all the intense feelings around you up.
The anticipation of the first kiss and the urge
to touch your partner is at their zenith during
the early stage of the relationship. However, the
spark fades away with time as you get busier with
life.
What is the spark? It is the feeling of
butterflies in your stomach, the electricity that
passes through you when you touch the one you
love and that deep-down excitement can be clearly
felt. Some people have this perception that this
feeling will dim and eventually fade away. This
is a blatant myth. Losing the spark in a
relationship does not necessarily means the loss
of love in the relationship, it just depicts that
you and your partner have become comfortable with
time.

Have a look at some tips that will keep the spark
alive in your relationship.
Communicate
One of the ways to keep the spark alive in a
relationship is by communication. You must stay
curious about your partner all the time. During
the early stages of your relationship, you are
excited to know everything about your partner
including all the unknowns. Each disclosure of
the unknown represents a new possibility and the
excitement rises further as you gradually learn
more about your partner and tell them about
yourself. But only because you have already
learned so much from your partner doesnt mean
that there is nothing more to discover. Try to
keep asking different questions to your partner
and discover the unexplored realms. Such
internal communications with your partner help
illuminate a path forward in times of conflict.
Clear and straightforward communication can also
help you understand areas of further growth. Try
to love your partner in a way that feels good to
them.

Novelty is the key to keeping the spark alive in
your relationship. It is crucial that you and
your partner continue to seek new shared
experiences, be it low-key or something more
adventurous. According to the New York Times
article, new experiences activate the brain's
reward system, flooding the brain with dopamine
and norepinephrinethe same chemicals responsible
for those euphoric highs of early romance. An
easier way to revive the spark and those
early-stage jitters and emotions depends on the
ways you demonstrate the care for your partner.
The best part about these demonstrations is that
they dont have to be grand gestures. You dont
have to spend a lot of money to make your partner
feel special.

Practice Presence
Even long-term couples have a lot to learn about
each other when they are in a mindful situation.
Instead of being distractive or passive try to
just be there for your partner. This means
putting the smartphones down or turning off the
TV during the conversation. Try to suspend the
urge to judge or come up with a solution to your
partners concerns and just be there for them.
Try to focus on their experience, listen to what
they are saying as much as how they are saying it
and most importantly the reason behind it.

Conclusion
Saying I Love You is one thing and expressing
it to your partner through gestures is an
altogether thing. If you want to regain the spark
in your life, all you have to do is show them
your deep and eternal love for them by
demonstrating it.
