If you’ve ever been in a relationship (and we know you have ladies), then you know what it feels like to enjoy the honeymoon phase. You know, the time, early on in your relationship, when your guy can do no wrong and every word out of his mouth is like melodic music to your ears? We’ve all been there and we know that eventually, the honeymoon phase comes to a halt and you enter the part of the relationship where your partner’s flaws, insecurities and annoying habits become very evident to you.

But what if there was a way to make the honeymoon phase last for a while? We’ve got not just one way, but four cool ways to keep the spark alive, that will help you and your partner stay on a honeymoon for a lifetime! 1. Your partner’s not perfect and neither are you, so don’t let the little things that your partner does differently than you ruin your honeymoon. So, he leaves the cap on the toothpaste. In the scheme of things, ask yourself is it really all that important?

Don’t tell your partner everything about you, right away. The allure of the unknown is always compelling to a guy. Let him show you that he’s worth revealing yourself to and then tell him all of your likes, dislikes, etc. over time when things come up. You had a life before him and you’re not going to be able to tell it all in one sitting. Keep the sex sexy and interesting. It’s important for your guy to feel like he’s free to experiment with you sexually. Why? He’ll love you for it.

Act like you’re dating. Remember when you were dating and everything was so great and exciting? To keep the cool dating vibe you once had alive, make it a point to do three things every week that you would do if you were dating your partner. For the guys, that means buying flowers, asking her out on a date, etc. For the girls, that means keeping yourself gorgeous for your guy, doing sweet things for him and being there to support him emotionally.
