Remember the passion that came with dating? How you exerted great effort to impress your mate? How wonderful you felt when what you did caused this special person to smile?
If your relationship is feeling a bit flat – or before it does – mentally review your past. Then vow to recreate it – on a regular basis.
Here are some questions you can ask yourself about your dating days to jog your memory – and reignite that crackling spark that results from making your now-spouse feel special.
Answering these questions will give you wonderful ideas for finding ways to let your spouse know how special you still think he or she is.
WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD WE ADD TO THE LIST?
Great idea. Or you can always let your hot water heater burst and flood your house and have a lot of date nights and date days cleaning up together.
I should add that one to “Date Your Mate for Free” options, Luanne! Oh wait – I guess it’s not free if you have to pay for the new hot water heater!

It just gets us plugged in again – or keeps us plugged in!
When was the last time I thanked him for the little things?
My SO always says thank you for little thing that I do. One thing that always makes me smile, is every time I do the laundry he thanks me…every time. As a result of his kind words, laundry isn’t a chore in my mind, it’s an act of love.
That’s a habit we practice in our home, too, Jill. It turns those little acts of love into appreciated acts of love which is quite motivating!
