5 Ways to Keep the Passion Alive in a Long-Term Relationship

To keep the excitement, love and romance in a long term relationship.. Here are some tips  to achieve that to treat it like a new romance....
1. Hold hands, hug and give quick kisses often
Nothing is as good for the soul and the emotional health of a person as the human touch. It keeps a connection and closeness, no matter what we are doing. An enthusiastic hug uplifts us, a quick kiss says “glad to see you”.

2. Show your love in small ways
Leave a love note on partner’s pillow, stuck in a purse, briefcase or a book he’s reading. Bring home a special treat you know your partner likes. Text, call or email him to say, “I’m thinking of you.” Sometimes the little gestures make the biggest impression.
3. Shake things up
Break through the “I’m so bored” barrier that often plagues long-term relationships by learning something or doing something new together. Sharing activities of mutual interest is the glue that makes relationship work and create happiness.
4. Be generous with praise
Say “thank you,” offer a hug, pay your partner a compliment. When you feel grateful for the good things in your life, you attract more of those good things to you.
5. Create intimate time
Before rushing out the door in a frenzy in the morning, get up one hour earlier and share breakfast in bed, read an inspirational passage aloud, or go for an early morning walk. At the end of the day, instead of plunking down in front of the TV or computer, give each other a massage, take a shower together or do something novel like reading erotic literature out loud.
