5 Ways To Shake Up Your Relationship

Focusing On Relationships

The busy winds of modern life can push people in several different directions, sometimes over a long period of time and sometimes all at once. When that happens, it can feel like you’re just along for the ride, which can sometimes distract from and even damage your interpersonal relationships.

Luckily, by building a proactive awareness of your connections, you can keep them fresh. Paying attention to your relationships and taking consistent steps to improve them can support the happiness of everyone involved, regardless of whatever else is happening in life.

Why Is It Important to Shake Up Your Love Life?

Generally speaking, humans are wired to notice patterns and seek predictability. In the romantic realm, this can be a blessing, as it helps with recognizing and forming secure attachments.

But while stability is ultimately a good thing, it can become a drawback if it transforms into boredom and stagnancy. Most people instinctually crave excitement and new experiences in addition to trust. A lack of those things can ultimately reduce someone’s long-term happiness in a relationship.

Thankfully, with a little mindfulness and consideration, it’s relatively easy to infuse what might have become a monotonous dynamic with new, enjoyable energy.

Refreshing Your Romantic Life

If you want to breathe new life into a romantic relationship, take a step back and look for any patterns you might have fallen into. Once you’ve identified a pattern, your job is to come up with ways to alter it, whether they be small or large. Just remember: grand gestures are fun and memorable, but the small things can be done more often, which will have a palpable effect over time. Don’t underestimate the power of simple changes.

With that in mind, here are five ways to add a little variety back into your love life.

1. Identify How Your Partner Expresses Love

How does your significant other show affection? And how do they like to receive love? Once you’ve thought about these questions, find some new or underutilized ways to show them, making sure to use your knowledge of their personal preferences. Don’t just do this once; do it consistently, experimenting with different ways to show them how you feel!

For instance, if your significant other likes physical affection, you could try offering more hugs, playing with their hair, or rubbing their shoulders. If they want love affirmed verbally, you can try leaving notes around the house, sending texts letting them know you’re thinking of them, or even writing poetry! The most important thing here is that you tailor your actions to your partner.

2. Change How You Spend Time Together

It might sound counterintuitive, but if your pattern is that you and your partner spend virtually all your free time together, try making a weekly plan to spend some time apart. You can go out separately with friends or dedicate time to a hobby you don’t share. This gives you the opportunity to miss each other and get an exciting rush of energy when you reunite!

On the flip side, if your pattern is that you don’t spend much time together, or if you don’t get the opportunity for much time alone, work as a team and schedule a regular time in which the two of you can enjoy each other’s company, one on one! This will give you a chance to connect and be yourselves without thinking about anyone else.

3. Try Something New for Both of You

Learning new things and having first-time experiences together is a great way to make memories, learn about each other, and find new common interests. Even if you only ever try something once, it will be a good story — or you might get a lifelong hobby out of it! This will constantly add something new to your plans and refresh your relationship on a consistent basis.

Trying new things together can also provide insight into how each of you responds in unexpected situations. It provides opportunities to cheer each other on and experience failure and success as a unit, deepening your connection with and understanding of each other.

4. Spend Time in Silence Together

You don’t always need to be in conversation with your partner to enjoy their company! Sometimes it’s nice just being around each other. Try spending time together without phones, TVs, or any other devices that make noise. You could try going on a walk outdoors, meditating, sitting next to each other while reading separate books, or working on projects alongside one another.

Being in silence without noise or significant disturbance can give you an opportunity to tune into each other on an energetic level and notice little things you might otherwise miss. More than that, it lets you just be together with no distractions, which can be a deeply enriching experience.

5. Set Goals as a Couple

In addition to everything else, start making plans as a team. Discuss what you and your partner want out of a relationship! What are some things you both want to do that can add variety and excitement to your lives? Perhaps you’d like to go to the occasional concert together or start a garden in your backyard. Maybe the two of you have some dream vacation destinations and can outline a long-term plan to make those trips happen.

On a smaller scale, you can also set mutual goals to be more mindful of each other and reconnect, among many other things. What matters here is that you align your long-term plans as a couple, so you can be sure that you’re moving in the same direction while still keeping the spark alive!

Bringing Romance Back To Life

In this fast-paced world, there are so many things pulling on a person’s attention at all times. Under all that pressure, interpersonal relationships can sometimes fall to the wayside — even the ones that matter most. It’s always worth breathing new life into a relationship. It takes less effort than you might think, and it can make a huge difference!
