what to do if you are stuck in a rut?

If we ever get stuck in a rut hubby and I will liven things up by doing something totally spontaneous, such great fun! It helps that we're very good friends and neither of us is bothered by looking silly or ridiculous in the other's eyes. I won't get into the details of some of the acitivities for obvious reasons ^.^ but we once took a cruise however slept on deck under the stars, cost us practically nothing and we had a blast!

If you mean being stuck in a rut WITH your partner and the whole "doing the usual every night/weekend/week" etc then there are lots of solutions...first of all IMO spend time AWAY from each other..instead of goin out with your partner, go out seperately with friends, and if all your friends and their partners are friends with you and yours have the guys go out as a group to shoot pool or something and the girls go out as a group dancing etc..... Suggest doing new things like trying something you've never done before but have alwasy wanted to like take a hobby type class together or something... Try goin to a new restaurant.... go on a drive to a new city/town/area to go exploring/hiking/biking etc Take turns cooking new dishes for each other... Have a romantic in home spa night (take a candlelight bubble bath together, give each other massages and so on)

This can happen very easily once you get so far along in a relationship. You just kind of take each other for granted because you know you are both there for each other. I would suggest just talking to each other about it. And it might help to have a special date night or a weekend away or something.
