So far, my husband and I are happily for 3 years now and still the flame is burning so bright because we give little surprises to each other everyday. One thing also is that we re giving each other to hang with our own friends to keep our attention from each other but actually to awaken our want and need for each other to be in each others arms. When we were with our own friends we would send each other a message saying "i miss you already honey, i wish you are here". It's kinda giggling!

Yes it would be exciting to keep the fire burning but sometimes you are hit by wet blankets in life. Ok like you have a child. The pregnancy and after the child is born can put a damper on things for a while. A woman's body changes physically and emotionally. If you are both working or one is working more than another, taking care of the family as well. My husband knows when days are just too tiring around here with all the kids. He says it's ok to wait now whereas before he would get mad that he had to. His friend just had his second baby and his wife wants nothing to do with him until he gets himself fixed. Another man has a wife going through menopause which has him on hold. You see different scenarios but things work out. I laugh when I see the dog in our yard trying to mate with the female. She just growls at him as if saying "not now!" That is the way I feel sometimes. When you get to that point I think both of you have to sit down and work out a plan of action. Maybe that is my answer, a plan of action as to what you both want. As you will notice one might be in season and another out of season....

until recently, honestly I am not yet found the right recipe to keep the warmth of our love in the past six years of marriage. But which we can do is to give each other attention between one another and go somewhere where there is a romantic without the kids

i think no exact recipe is serve if you want to keep the fire burning. I have a 5 years relationship but so far so good. We talk about our mistakes and try not to do again. We give and take to each other, understands and comfort. We find ways to be like boyfriends and girlfriend do. Doing extraordinary activities together. We play like innocents. I hope we'll work things out forever.
