After all, tying the knot spells the end of passion, right? Not if you don\u2019t let it. Though it\u2019s true that priorities shift after a couple has been together a while (and yes, nights in front of the TV are a lot more common than sweeping gestures made out on the town), there are definite perks to lifetime <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/help-im-dating-a-commitment-phobe.html\/\">commitment<\/a><\/strong>. And some of them are a whole lot more <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/10-romantic-movie-moments.html\/\">romantic<\/a><\/strong> than those people cracking jokes would have you think. Here&#8217;s some ways to make more of your married life!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have Gratitude<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason why finding love is one of our most powerful drives as human beings. No one wants to feel as if they\u2019re entirely alone in the world. And in a happy marriage (which, let\u2019s face it, includes downs as well as ups), you\u2019re not ever alone \u2013 even when your spouse is away. The support you feel in a truly intimate partnership does more than buoy you in times of trouble. It provides a warm, fuzzy feeling of satisfaction that\u2019s easy to overlook. So, if you want to make the most of your marriage, stop overlooking it!<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment each day to be grateful for the person you married. It\u2019s easy to get caught up in the things they do that annoy you, but you\u2019ll find yourself a lot happier and more engaged if you focus instead on the ways they make you feel special \u2013 and supported. In addition, make sure to share your gratitude with your partner. A little acknowledgement goes a long way, particularly for people who have developed your kind of short hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snuggle Up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sexually speaking, it was fireworks at first sight. You felt like you saw god every time you did it \u2013 and that was a couple of times a day! The trouble is, life (work, kids, schedules, maintaining a house) takes a lot more energy than it did when you were dating. Now, you can barely keep your eyes open when you climb into bed at night \u2013 never mind your legs! Rather than beating yourself (or your relationship) up for what may have become a lackluster sex life (however temporarily), accept this basic truth. You aren\u2019t going to have the energy for an extended session every night \u2013 but you can make time to cuddle on a regular basis. Sounds silly, but by engaging in full body contact, you\u2019ll enhance your connection and increase the desire to make time for full-blown bedroom athleticism.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, appreciate the fact that you don\u2019t feel the need to put on a show every time you enter the boudoir. One of the sexiest things about being married is that your spouse has seen you at your worst \u2013 and still wants to sleep with you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make Time to Please Each Other<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, while you should be grateful (and excited) to have someone else\u2019s unconditional love, it\u2019s vital that you don\u2019t take your partner for granted. Set aside time each week to do something sweet (and sexy) for your spouse. Whether it\u2019s planning an out of the house date, giving them a massage or unplugging for an hour to take a bubble bath together, these little gestures do a lot to bolster your connection \u2013 and increase your romance. Ideally, the closer you feel, the hotter your relationship will become. And even if the waves of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/psychic-liam-reigniting-passion.html\/\">passion<\/a><\/strong> ebb sometimes (which is bound to happen), they\u2019ll always flow back in your direction.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-top: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;border-bottom: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;margin: 10px 0px;padding: 10px 4px;font-weight:
