Marriage Rut-Busters: 5 Ways to Get the Spark Back

Many people feel after a few years of marriage and kids that the spark is gone, they have gotten stuck in a routine, the wife is busy with the kids and her work, the husband is tired and frazzled when he gets home and there doesn't seem to be any romance left. Couples find themselves drifting apart, spending less time face to face, less time connecting with each other, less time doing things together.

But it doesn't have to be this way. You can break free of the rut of your routine and use some simple but powerful techniques to turn things around.

1) Remind yourselves of better times.
2) Catch your partner being good.
3) Give appreciation directly.
4) Have a date night.
5) Touch each other more.
