The stresses of the past year should melt away over the Christmas break. However, it could be that your relationship needs a spring clean or a kick-start for the New Year.
Revival is our theme for this month, so it's the perfect time for you to take on our challenges and spice up your relationship! Week One
Step up the affection this week! Increase the quality and quantity of your cuddles and kisses. Little unexpected pecks on the cheek or arms flung around his waist can help to make him feel more loved and bring you closer together. Go on a date - just the two of you! A candlelit romantic dinner or even a picnic, paired with some good conversation, can help to remind you what it is that made you fall in love in the first place.
Join the gym or take up a sport. Everyone knows exercise releases endorphins. A fit and healthy girl makes for a happy girl - which in turn makes for a revived relationship!
Week Two Write a love letter. Remember those un-sent notes you wrote (albeit in your head) when you were first dating? Well, even if you didn’t, now is the time to start. Put your heart on paper and hide it somewhere…to be found when he’s least expecting it.
Plan (or go on) an overseas trip. There is nothing like plans to bring some excitement into your relationship. When you have something to look forward to, you have more to discuss.
Week Three
Turn off the TV. Try to start a new trend for the New Year by playing cards, sharing a hobby, or just having a talk in the evening instead of watching the box. You will find your relationship strengthens from the interaction.
Try something new…in bed - or out! You could surprise him with a new toy or trick, or jump him outdoors. If you’re stuck for ideas (or confidence) ask him what he has always wanted to do, or visit your local naughty store.
Week Four If it’s broke - fix it! Is there something you were always complaining about last year? Maybe your flat is too far from work or you’re sick of living with flatmates. Maybe you really need to upgrade the car. Now is the time to remove that added stress by getting out there and doing it.
Revive yourself with a hair cut, dye or wax. Sometimes a new look is all you need to refresh your love life. It may not last for the whole year, but you’ll have a fun couple of weeks!
