Intentionality is key

I have often stressed that one important thing needed in marriage is intentionality because oftentimes, it's very possible that we get swallowed up with responsibility or even get familiar with our love life or lover. But a man who is intentional about making his marriage work and ensuring the spices don't go out will ensure he creates a spark regularly.

Having established that the most important thing needed is intentionality, let's explore some things that can be done.

Try something new

When we do some things over and over, they tend to become a routine, and hence it has the tendency of not 'shacking' us again once it gets to this level, the spark is no longer safe, and the chances of the spark dying are very high. So try new things. You might have been exploring your partner's major love language; go after the second love language. I hope you know an average human has more than one love language. So try something new.

Be loud about your appreciation,

No matter how small your partner has done or is doing, make a big deal out of it. Make your partner wonder what's happening. Is it more than this?

Communicate more

Communication can never go out of need; you just need to communicate more, just that you don't need to repeat this same pattern. Rather than sit like you have a family retreat, what about having the discussion while taking a walk and holding each other's hands. Be intentional about your partner's love language; speaking your partner's love language is important if you want him to feel the love. When you show love to your partner with your love language in consideration, you have only cheated on the partner. Note this: you haven't shown love to your partner unless you speak their language.
