6. Focus on what first attracted you
When you first fell in love, what were some of the qualities that attracted you to your partner? Those traits likely still exist, it’s just that they might be harder to notice when you’re feeling stressed or growing tired of the same routine. Shifting your mindset to focus on their strengths again can spark renewed admiration and desire.
7. Embrace imperfections
At the start of a relationship, you were probably more inclined to overlook your partner’s flaws. But as time goes on, these shortcomings become more apparent, and there’s a tendency to dwell on them. Don’t fall into this way of thinking. Accept their imperfections and celebrate the ways they bring joy into your life. This acceptance lays the groundwork for a more forgiving environment where intimacy can grow.
