Heres a familiar scenario

You find someone who you really like, theres a lot of spark between you, and the love-making is mind-blowing. After awhile, maybe its even after youve been married for a few years, the passion begins to fade.

Youre both too tired at night to make love like you used to and you both just seem to be people who like one another (or not) and the only communication is when you pass each other in the hallway.

The question isdoes passion have to die in a love relationship?

Our answer may surprise you but passion never has to die. You never have to lose that special spark and feeling between the two of you.

So, if you are a man, were just talking to you right now. Here are 3 ways that you can keep the fire alive between you and your partner

1. Connect with your partner throughout the day and not just when its time to make love. Sounds simple but many men just dont understand how important connection is to a woman. If you are apart during the day, text message her or email her and tell her how much you are thinking about her and love her. When you come home, dont just settle into your favorite chair or in front of the computer. Find your beloved and take a moment to look in her eyes. Tell her how much you appreciate her.

2. Listen to her without fixing and tell her whats important to you.
Take some time each day to listen and talk with her about whats important to both of you. If you dont, you run the risk of losing each other as the years pass. Keep yourself focused on her when she is talking and be willing to take a chance in telling her whats important to you.

3. Surprise her with small (or large) tokens of your love.
Any woman loves for her man to offer to do some small chore without her askinglike giving the kids a bath, putting them to bed, helping them with homework, taking out the garbage, washing the dishes, doing a load of laundry. You can also surprise her with a dinner out, just the two of you, or a date that you have made all of the arrangements.

These are just 3 ways that a man can spice up his love relationship. It certainly is possible to keep the fire lit between two people who love each other. It just takes a willingness to try some new things and a desire and knowing that you can have it all.
