Discover The Spice Route Of Relationship
Storizen|May 2022
The goodbye kisses before going to the office, talking to each other endlessly, going out for candlelight dinners, sharing the same bowl of popcorn while watching a movie at home, or simply holding each other hands silently...When was the last time we did that asked Nitiya looking at her husband?

Discover The Spice Route Of Relationship

They have been married for more than seven years. Eh, what did you say? Ram looked up from his laptop towards his wife. The distorted look on Nitiya's face made him realize that something was troubling her. Now, what did I do to upset her, he muttered to himself. But he did not recall any. Forget it, said Nitiya, it's no point talking to you. For you, it's your work, friends, and laptop that matter. You have no time for me. No, that's not true, replied Ram. In fact, it's you who is so busy with children and family, and the conversation turned again into a petty quarrel of blaming each other, leaving both of them discontented.

Well, doesn't this scenario have a familiar acquaintance to many couples like us? Where we as couples get so busy shouldering other priorities and responsibilities of life that 'the mood' for spending quality time with each other despite being in LOVE begins to downslide. We unwillingly start shying away from making any extra efforts to spend time with each other exclusively.

Any committed relationship or marriage starts taking a back seat when one moves out of the initial phase of infatuation and discovery. With time, our relationship, with our committed partner becomes static and cries for inventiveness. The time we spent on children, work, parents, and other duties leaves little time for each other.

But then it's 'normal' isn't that in the heap of responsibilities and other aspirations, our love life begins to fizzle over time. But just because it is 'Normal' doesn't mean we need to accept this as a status quo. Instead, take advantage of this lull to bring the spark back to your relationship.
