You know how it is. You’ve met someone, you’ve been lovebirds for a while, and then everything became routine…
Getting up early, a quick kiss, off to work and a long day at work ahead. Then you come home, you cook dinner, maybe work out a little or do another hobby, and prepare for whatever tomorrow is going to bring. And when there’s a little time to spare, all you can think about is your lovely bed.
Romance dies a little each day until you sit there and think “What happened to US?”.
A lot of couples live for the weekend. It’s only at the weekend that you can lie in bed and have a cuddle, eat breakfast together, and take trips out. The week turns into 5 days of waiting painfully for 2 days of bliss. But does this really sound like a particularly fun relationship, or a fun life for that matter?
“No, no, no!”, says the Dating Doctor. Life is both weekends and weekdays. Here are some suggestions for a really great week!
Monday: Buy some strawberries and a bottle of something bubbly. Once your lips touch the glass, a feeling of luxury come over you and your lack of motivation and tiredness will disappear. Celebrate Mondays!
Tuesday: Does your partner arrive home late? Why not buy or cook something your partner really enjoys eating and surprise him or her when they come home! Perhaps you could wear something extra nice? Advanced level: Cook in your underwear!
Wednesday: Invite friends over for dinner! Invite people to come over around 8pm so you’ve got time to prepare. Since they’ve got to work the next day as well, it’s not a problem if the evening ends early, but you still have the feeling of having had an eventful evening. Tip: No time or energy to cook? You can buy pre-prepared food at lots of grocery stores. A pre-cooked roast chicken with potato salad and a green salad on the side is a fantastic and tasty example! It needn’t be extravagant!
Thursday: Now it’s your partner’s turn to do something for you! Be clear about what would make you happy. Do you like cheese? Tell your partner how nice it would be to share a cheese plate together before bedtime, and set aside an hour for this already on Monday so that your partner has time to organise everything! Don’t get upset if it isn’t as you imagined, but remember that you have been able to look forward to this for the whole week, and they did their best for you :-)
Friday: You needn’t get up early tomorrow, so make the most of your time. If you’re really tired, half an hour’s rest together on the sofa after work can be a moment of intimacy before you hit the town. Then use Saturday and Sunday to sort things out like shopping, laundry, and other chores, but for God’s sake don’t forget to schedule a brunch and some spontaneous sex ;-) !
The Dating Doctor promises that after a week like this, you’ll be inspired to arrange lots of things to do the week after as well, and you’ll soon be back in the routine of romance again. Good luck spicing things up, and remember... You can never have too much pepper... ;-)
