Five Ways To Heat Up Your Love Life

1. Be spontaneous

If you’ve been together for a long time it can feel like excitement or surprise is lacking in the relationship. This is a time to get out of that predictability and create some spontaneous exhilaration together. Don’t let the early darkness and cold nights stop you from surprising your partner with a spontaneous date such as dance lessons or an afternoon picnic in the winter sun. Steal a bit of time together when and where you can, to show your partner how much of a priority they are to you, no matter how unwelcoming the weather is.

2. Be affectionate

Instead of covering yourself up all winter long, peel back the layers and touch each other – a lot. Get between the sheets, take a massage course, entwine in a hot tub or heated pool, just get naked together at home and share some sensual skin-on-skin time. Touching releases oxytocin which gives us that lovely bonded feeling. Enjoy more of that this winter and you’ll feel warm from the inside out.

3. Start smooching

Make this the season you kiss every day. In long-term relationships kissing, especially passionate kissing, can all but disappear. Don’t allow your passionate relationship to be reduced to just a quick peck and re-introduce the regular pash. Take care of your lips in winter, not just with balm, but with love. You’ll feel more connected to your partner if you just kiss more. Did you know that your lips are the most sensitive body part you have? Give them some loving attention and feel the pleasure from your luscious lovely lips to your … everywhere.

4. Plan a holiday

Maybe winter is when you get away, or maybe it’s when you hibernate. But this is a great time to take a quick romantic trip or start planning your next destination together. You’ll avoid the winter blues by dreaming and planning your next fun adventure. Whether it’s somewhere warm or a cosy weekend away this is a chance to keep your relationship moving forward by making a project of picking your place and sharing your ideas.

5. Do something together

This is a great time to try something out of your comfort zone so you need to rely on one another as a team. For the less adventurous, you don’t have to be physical to try something new, although keeping fit during the winter has benefits for your health as well as your libido. You can take a cooking class or start a new hobby such as art class, writing, bridge, dancing, skiing or yoga. Even if it’s not something organized, choose a book to read together and discuss. Or you can even make a game of choosing a new activity to share. Collaborate as a team to brainstorm ideas and make a wish list. Whatever you do, if you do it together, you’ll see each other through new eyes and that will excite and warm any heart.
