Marriage Makeovers: How To Revive The Romance

By Ella Hemmings


It's easy to get so caught up in your day-to-day grind that you lose sight of one of the most important things in your life, your relationship with your spouse. It might seem hard to reconnect, but it just takes a little effort and imagination. Here are a few suggestions to help rekindle the spark.

One easy way to reconnect is to set a weekly date night. No matter what, make a point of getting out together for a fun evening. This could be as simple as dinner and a movie or you could try something a bit more unusual, such as going to an art museum or perhaps a picnic at an outdoor concert.

Your weekly date also could take place during the day. For instance, if you are both golf lovers, consider making a weekly golf date. If you love the great outdoors, plan a weekly hike. Book a whale watching trip, rent a kayak or bicycle around the park. Go antique shopping or visit a flea market. A wine-tasting trip or going to the zoo or even something silly like miniature golf or go-karting can be fun.

When rekindling that spark, remember it's all about changing your focus and attitude. Think back to the fun times when you were dating, and remember that you never have to quit being your spouse's girlfriend or boyfriend. Spice things up a bit by sending a sweet or flirtatious text message or just pack them a special lunch with a loving note. Bring flowers home or a great new book or a fun movie. Usually if one person begins to make an effort at romance, the other partner will respond, so don't be shy about making the first move.

Often a change of scene will kick start your marriage rejuvenation plan so don't be shy about asking family or trusted friends to watch your kids for a few days so that you can get away. You might take a long weekend and head up to the mountains or a cute bed and breakfast or perhaps somewhere tropical and tranquil. An island getaway, such as a trip to Maui, is a fantastic way to get out of the daily grind and enjoy some much-needed couple time.

While you're in Maui, consider taking the romance a step further and plan a romantic vow renewal. The Maui wedding planners at Love Maui Weddings have been helping couples plan vow renewals, elopements and weddings for more than 20 years. Their "Love, Always" package is ideal for couples who wish to renew their vows. This $299 package include a West Maui beach permit, the services of a minister, a fresh lei for the groom and bride, a printed copy of your vows, a bottle of keepsake sand from your special beach and a keepsake certificate.
