Well, marriage is the final destination of the people who love each other. Some people fall in love and then head to marriage while some get married first and then fall in love.

Whether the marriage is love or arranged, it needs some pampering, some love, and some attention to keep it happy and happening. If you feel there is less spark left in your marriage, then don’t worry. Today here is some idea to return all the sparks in your married life once again.

1. Being your husband’s mistress

Well, this sounds quite weird, but it’s the fact that some women in France shared with Piazza. According to the women in France, you can keep the mystery alive by being your husband’s mistress.

Meanwhile, the author suggests keeping the romance alive in the relationship with your charm in the bedroom. Piazza also says that this seems quite anachronistic but yet works. She shares US Weekly:

“kind of awesome because you’re bringing a little mystery and excitement to your marriage every day.

2. Giving at least 5 min to speak with your partner at night

This is not so new a technique as we all know that communication is the best way to keep the relationship alive. The Mexican marriage guru proclaims that nightly talk will keep the connection strong. Also, Piazza says that someone instructed her and her husband to talk 5 mins at night before sleep.

She admits,

“the greatest thing to happen to our new marriage.”

Here are some rules:

1) The other partner is not allowed to interrupt,

2) Whatever is mentioned cannot become a source of contention later on,

3) Nothing more than three weeks old is allowed to be discussed.

3. Be your person

Well, everyone loves the self-dependent person. The person who can help him/herself is the person who can easily handle their love and married life. So, rather than getting dependent on your spouse, help yourself. These things help in making your married life better.

Piazza writes:

“You need to stay two independent people… You expect your spouse to be everything,”

4. Give more priority to your marriage over your career

Career is the thing that becomes the main focus in people’s lives. If you keep your career above your marriage then you’re surely gonna fail the relationship exam. Although a career is important in your life still you should keep your marriage above on the list.

So, give more priority to your marriage and spouse. This will work as your partner just needs is little more attention from you. Piazza says in her book that:

“Most women in Holland “value their life outside of work much more than they value a title or getting ahead in the workplace.” The majority of Dutch women, whether married or single, choose to work part-time in order to enjoy life, dedicating that extra time to partners, children, hobbies and well-being. Meanwhile, men feel it’s “totally OK” to not work five days a week and earn less money, because they define themselves by their relationships.”

Well, these things will surely help in making your married life better than before.
