Relationships can take work and a few problems along the way are a completely normal road block that can be fixed. There is a chemical reaction that triggers in your brain when you first meet your lover. This reaction changes once you’ve been together for a while, making you feel more comfortable than passionate and excited. Still sound bleak to you? Think of it this way, once you’ve laid the groundwork for the relationship, you create the potential for even more excitement than in the beginning. Sure, your heart raced when you saw their face and now their face makes you think about what you want for dinner, but at least you are comfortable with this person, and that’s not bad. Comfort can mean flexibility and once you decide to get your spark back, you can try lots of new things together, things that you might not have trusted them enough to do with them before. If you’re worried about your relationship, talk to your significant other first. Let them know about your concerns and discuss steps you both want to take. If you need help, there’s no shame in seeing a marriage or relationship counselor; they’re pros at helping you identify your problem areas and creating strategies for a solution.
