I love that after so many years of marriage, my wife and I
have developed a comfortable routine. Most days, I can’t wait to come home from
work and put on my sweatpants for a quiet night at home. It’s how we recharge.
However, there are other habits we have to liven things up, whether it’s things
we do together, such as simply making time for each other, or things we do for
ourselves, like integrating NeriumAD into our skincare routine—excitement and
spontaneity isn’t just about suddenly doing things different, but introducing
habits into your routine that maintain excitement as well. Read on for more about
how to make excitement a habit:
Embrace fun whims
Even if you like your routine, you can inject excitement
into your relationship by embracing spontaneity every once in a while. If you
have time, indulge those whims and cravings that you don’t usually entertain
for the sake of comfort and routine. This can be as simple as trying out a new
dinner place or as daring as packing up on a Friday afternoon and driving to
the airport before you even decide where to go.
Put extra effort into your appearance
My wife and I have been around each other long enough to
where we don’t pay as much attention to each other’s looks. I think she’s
beautiful even when she’s stressing about her roots growing in, and she likes
to mention how handsome I look in a tie even though I wear one most days. After
leaving the dating game, other things just become a bigger priority, and it’s
true that appearance should not be the most important aspect of your life.
However, it’s about the ritual—putting effort into attracting your partner,
even if you already find each other irresistible without this effort, is a
gesture in itself. It’s just a simple way to show that you care about
maintaining your relationship, and it can even help to get you in the mood for
spontaneity.
For those whose beauty routines have remained stagnant for a
while and wonder how to spice things up, here are some suggestions:
- Exercise regularly. Even if you’re at the weight you want, exercise has many other benefits. It helps manage stress along with other internal benefits that will have a youthful effect on your appearance.
- Take care of those personal pet peeves about your appearance in ways that won’t take too much away from your other relationship-renewing efforts. If you want pearly whites, try out some teeth whitening techniques. If you want to improve thinning hair, there are plenty of easy options out there. If you’re bothered by fine lines and wrinkles, find a face cream that works.
