"5 Ways to Get
Back Passion and Connection, pt.2"
By Susie and Otto Collins
In a previous
articles, we gave you 5 ways to increase passion, love, and
connection that have been sent in by readers like you--and
you liked them so much, we decided to give you 5 more...
1. "Spontaneity
is definitely a key. But ultimately, what I've found most
effective is letting a man know you're into him when he least
expects it...a note telling him you're waiting for him in
his car, in the medicine cabinet, or even a coupon offering
love at his leisure is enticing"
2. "Besides
the hot oil rubs & spaghetti strap
nighties one thinks creates excitement, what has been exhilarating
for us has been quirkiness & unexpectedness. For example,
for my husband's birthday, I bought him an expensive GPS for
his truck.
"He
had yearned for one for those off road
hunting excursions. On the morning of his
birthday, I wrapped several 'hints' pertaining
to the GPS (toy Mattel truck, doll 'Ken' in
camouflage gear, teeny road map, etc) & hid
them in the shower, his truck, etc. with the info that if
he could guess what the hints related to, he could have the
BIG gift--otherwise, he'd have to wait til after work.
"The
fun we had as he went on his scavenger
hunt, then giggling as he guessed what possibly these silly
toys could be about, was fun. it spiked my husband's need
for creativity, unpredictability & something other than
routine.
"He
had to wait til after work to get the 'full monty' but he
called several times from work with even more guesses &
begging me to tell him what the gift was!!! that day is imbedded
in our memory!"
3. "Never
take your partner for granted, and think you know how they
are going to react. If you honour them and treat them as if
you have just met, and are going through that courting stage,
those 'fireworks' will still fly!"
4. "We'll
be married for 20 years in just three
months. My husband and I keep the passion in our relationship
alive by still kissing hello, goodbye, good morning. We kiss
a lot, and not just pecks. We still have juicy make-out sessions
like we did when we first dated.
"Of
course, our kids think this is gross, but we believe that
we are setting a good example by showing them how fulfilling
marriage can be. It indicates that we truly like each other.
It also allows us to give 'special time' to our relationship
and to each other. Let's face it, we are all happier when
we feel loved!"
5. "Love
is the secret to keeping our relationship hot, juicy, and
exciting. When my husband and I look into one another's eyes,
there is such a deep, profound connection that we have come
to depend upon it and crave it.
"Our
physical intimacy is sometimes planned and sometimes spontaneous.
It can be fun and playful or intense and romantic; but no
matter how we choose to intertwine, our souls are always fully
present and connected.
"Even
when we are smiling, giggling, and being creative or adventurous,
our eyes are saying, 'I love you unconditionally. You are
my true love.' I need only glance at his eyes and they are
always there -open to me - seeking out my glance, so that
they can connect and we can feel the love flow between us.
"Over
the years, we have come to know that connection will always
be there for us. Our physical intimacy has actually expanded
and become more frequent as our trust has deepened. When love-making
is so wonderful, you naturally want more - not less.
"We
are both well beyond our 'peaks' sexually and yet we are more
insatiable now than either of us has ever been. Our love-making
has always been good, but over the past 5 years it has gone
completely off the charts.
"We
often say, 'Who knew?' because we honestly didn't know that
it could be so wonderful. We didn't know our desire could
grow so far beyond our initial physical attraction. Now, we
do and I'm not even sure
whether I can convey in words what we have grown to know.
"So,
I guess my advice is to find a way to love your spouse unconditionally
or find a spouse you can love unconditionally, so that you
can know what it feels like to crave and frequently visit
the place your soul most desires.
"Once
you have found it, neither of you will ever be able (or willing)
to harden against the other again. The risk is simply too
great. Love is as wonderful and powerful and eternal as we
have all hoped. The secret lies in being committed enough
to wait for it...and bold enough to grab it with both hands
when it finds you."
What inspirational
stories!

you to do just one thing this week to open yourself deeper
to the love that is available to you.
