Breaking the Monotony: A Marriage Reboot
Laura B., 41, Marketing Director, Chicago
After 12 years of marriage, our intimacy had become routine. Same time every week, same positions, same everything. It was comfortable but completely devoid of passion. We had become roommates who occasionally had sex.
We decided to shake things up. We ordered a couples kit and promised to be open-minded. We were both nervous but excited to try something new together.
The experience was laugh-out-loud funny at first. We made mistakes, we tried things that did not work, we giggled like teenagers. But then something shifted. It got…hot.
We discovered sides of each other we had forgotten existed. We remembered why we fell in love in the first place. Our marriage feels new again.
If your marriage feels stale, do not settle. Get creative. Talk to your partner. Try new things. It might save your relationship.
