How to rekindle a relationship permanently?
How to rekindle a relationship? How to rekindle love? Is rekindling love important to the growth of your relationship?
Many couples often look for ways enhance and bring back the spark for their relationship but don’t know how. Whenever they encounter a problem, they tend to forget everything that is positive and start focusing on the problem.
As I mentioned in my book “How to win your lover’s heart” that relationships just like anything else have to be worked on and nurtured if you want to have a successful and happy relationship. Many people give up on rekindling their love for each other due to many factors whether complacency, laziness, lack of knowledge, lack of awareness or any other reason for that matter.
I can hear you ask “How can I rekindle love in my relationship? How can I bring back the spark?” To answer these questions, we have to look at some tips that are guaranteed to give you the best results.
How to rekindle a relationship
If your goal is to learn how to rekindle love in your relationship, follow the quick guide below:
1. Surprise each other
Make sure you surprise your partner each once a while. We all get bored with daily routine. Every month create something out of the ordinary like cooking a meal, inviting your partner on special date, and buying flowers among other things.
2. Focus on the positive
Learn whenever you encounter a problem with your partner; try to focus on the positive and how much you two love each other. When you focus on the love you two have, the problems you two have will dissolve.
Instead of focusing on the negative, ask yourself the following questions:
- Does my partner provide for the house?
- Does my partner respect me?
- Does my partner adore me?
- Does my partner understand me?
- Is my partner loyal?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, then start to focus on the positive, not the negative.
3. Show passion
Show passion in wanting to rekindle love in your relationship with your partner. Lack of interest from one side whether for being busy with work, friends, or hobbies could be harmful for your relationship. Create a balance in your life and show your partner the love and passion you have. To have a successful relationship, you need to create a balance in life, so make time to show your mate your passion.
4. Help your partner
Helping each other doing chores, planning for your future or doing any activity together will help you get closer to each other and rekindle your love as it will show that you care about the other person. When you help your partner, you are showing your mate that you care and are doing an effort to make the relationship improve.
5. Do something fun
Make sure that you two spend some time alone together every week to do something fun. The purpose of spending time together and doing something fun is so both of you feel the appreciation, love, and the attention of each other. Make sure you go out with each other at least once a week where you two spend some quality time together.
6. Praise your partner
Whenever your partner does something nice for you, praise him or her. Everybody likes to be praised from time to time. Small acts of kindness can make a big positive impact and help you rekindle your relationship.
7. Interact with your mate
When you interact with your spouse, try to show affection. Interaction with each other will help you two bond together.
8. Say sorry when it is necessary
If you say something that hurts your partner, then apologize. Some times, couples find it hard to say sorry because they believe this would make them feel weak. On the contrary, apologizing and saying sorry is a sign of strength as you are showing your partner that you are taking full responsibility for your actions.
9. Schedule daily time
To rekindle your relationship with your partner, you have to schedule time to talk to your mate. If you spend as little as 10 minutes talking to each other about how much you two care and love each other, then you are nurturing each other. You would be surprised by the difference those 10 minutes make in your relationship.
10. Say I love you
Three words, but they have huge effect on your partner. Saying I love you shows your partner that you care and cherish him. Show your love and appreciation for your partner as your mate loves for you to express your love verbally and it is for sure one of the best ways to rekindle love and romance in your life.
11. Learn to communicate with your partner
Learn to listen to what your partner says without judgment. Your partner might have different opinion than you and that is fine. You can’t make your partner accept your opinion if he/she does not want to. You can advise your partner, but then it is up to your mate to accept what you say or not.
12. Exchange of gifts
Whenever you buy a gift for your beloved one, you will get more than what you paid for as your will see the happiness in your partner. Both husband and wife should get used to the habit of exchanging gifts.
Remember, reading these 12 ways will not rekindle a relationship unless you apply what you read. It is the application that gets you lasting results.

Hello Dia,
I would think that if you truly value a relationship you want make it a habit to do the things you recommend. I am hoping that if I do the right things that my primary relations will remain healthy. I like comparing love to a plant; both must be tended to.

Hey Dia,
Relationships like anything else take time and commitment in order for them to work. We have to remember to experience our relationships from the heart and not the mind.

Hey Dia,
We must always look for the positivity, because it’s all around us. The thing is that it’s easier to notice the negative and that’s why we must focus on the positive. When bad things happy focus on the positive and try to make the best of the situation.
I try to always be there for my partner when she needs me. Sometimes we all need help and it’s nice to have someone to be there for you. I couldn’t think of anyone else who would have my back faster than her. Any couple should help each other to succeed further.
God bless,

Hi Dia,
You make some really great points here. For me, the most important ones are:
1.) The very concept that a relationship can be rekindled. We don’t have to just react to the way things are, we can MAKE THEM HAPPEN.
2.) To focus on the positive aspects of our partner – this is so important. It’s the reason that we’re so passionate at the beginning of relationships. We focus almost exclusively on the good stuff and don’t even notice anything else. Over time, though, we begin to question if this person is too good to be true, what their flaws are, if we’re truly compatible.. WE actually go looking for negatives!
3.) Make it a priority. Relationships can be such a beautiful thing, but we have to prioritize them. If work always comes before our partner, your partner will take on a lesser role in our life. We have to always remember that whatever is (or isn’t) in our reality is only there as a response to our vibration. And that means that if a partner seems to be gravitating out of our experience (or if the passion has gone, or their positive traits seem to have vanished), it’s only because we haven’t been giving our attention to the bits we want to keep around.
Great post!
Hugs,
Melody
Melody | Deliberate Receiving recently posted..Why You Should Take the Time to Praise Others
There are a couple of things that I notice that a lot of people in relationships do – they think they are obeying all your rules here, which are all great strategies for improving your relationship, but somehow they completely miss the mark.
The first is that they try to shape their partner to be the person that they feel they need. This usually starts out by them treating their partner how they would like to be treated. If both partners are doing this, then it’s pretty soon going to be over. It’s far more beneficial to find out how your partner would like to be treated and then be like that with them! Books like Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus are great pointers for this…
Secondly, with the exchange of gifts… some people do this looking for instant repayment. Take compliments for example (a very cheap gift!)… if you give a compliment looking for one in return, you are going to be very disapppointed! You have to give for the pleasure of giving. When something is offered to you unconditionally, (i.e. not because you’ve just offered something to them) you accept it with love and enjoy the nice feeling it brings.

Important post, Dia, especially given current divorce statistics!
3 things my wife and I do that really helps to keep the spark burning bright and to rekindle it when we get neglectful:
1. weekly date-nights. They can be as cheap as packing a couple sandwiches and having a picnic in the park to an expensive meal and a show. Mix it up and keep it within budget.
2. Serve each other. If your spouse typically does the dishes, do them for him/her instead. Give a spontaneous massage (with no ulterior motive in mind, if you know what I mean!) The point is that you’re giving for the sake of expressing love, not as s hidden means to a desired benefit.
3. Listen. Truly hear what your spouse is saying. Doing this sends a huge massage of love and concern. It validates the inner core of the person. It tells your spouse that you care, that you understand.

Dude you got a heavy list there BRO. I like the one that spoke of interest. Because without interest in anything we cannot reach our goal. So if she wants to get back with you and your not at all interested, then GUESS WHAT? It won’t work out. But if you do the opposite, then she’s yours like a cheeseburger with cheese..lol
Great tips Dia. Another one would be to show him or her how thankful you are for them. A good way would be to have flowers delivered with a note in your handwriting saying, “I am so glad that you are in my life”.

Hi Dia,
I love this list. It warmed my heart to read it. Although my sweetie and I live together, I have been missing him. We haven’t spent as much time together since welcoming our first son. Just like a plant needs water to grow, a relationship needs nourishment as well.

Dia: Really good post and information. So often, we can just fall into the trap of sitting back and complaining about our relationship. But, I think if we are proactive when it comes to our relationships and work on doing those things that can improve them, we really can make significant progress in the right direction. It’s all about focusing energy in the right direction. Great tips you shared here.

Intersting Dia. For me if it’s meant to be it will be so rekindling is more holding on and hoping rather than moving on and investing in where love awaits. I can see the benefits though of not giving up but love shouldn’t be a battle but a joy. But, of course, you should never give up on a loving relationship until you have tried everything to make it work. Love isn’t something you walk out on it’s something you work at keeping.

You listed 12 GREAT tips on keeping a relationship strong from day one. But if the love fades, these tips can also revitalize the spark. Great advice man. You’re an expert in what you speak about!
I’m a married man so I have to stay on top of my game and make sure things stay nice and “new” feeling…so I love these tips and I put them to use.
Have a great week Dia!
I don’t believe you missed a thing with these 12 tips, Dia. Wonderful. Like bring out the positive and what you like about each other. Sometimes when problems come up we don’t stop and think about why we fell in love with someone. When we stop and remember those warm fuzzy feeling come back. I am a big one on the communication side. Hubby and I always have a cup of coffee in the morning, before he leaves. And than talk about 1/2 hour to and hour when he comes home. Little glass of wine can go a long way. Keep up the great work.
Blessing to you,
Debbie

Right on target, Dia. There is nothing more rewarding than harmonious relationships. Whenever you come across a happy relationship – the basis is ACCEPTANCE. There is no better way to rekindle a relationship than to begin by ACCEPTING the differences without judgment or ridicule. It then takes commitment and vigilance to continually water and nourish the seeds that keep the relationship blooming.

Hey Dia, excellent steps to rekindling the romance, my friend. I once had a friend who used to counsel couples who were in therapy. He would always have them eat dinner together. To find some way to connect. And then they were to first list five great things that happened that day. They couldn’t complain or talk about anything else UNTIL they had done this exercise. It was amazing how their relationship transformed over the coming weeks and months. Our attitudes are everything. Good to be back on the web, bro!

Hi, Dia,

I know because I am in one, and my partner and I use lot of the advices you gave here, starting from helping each other, scheduling and having a good communication. However, every relationship is unique and, unfortunatelly, some cannot be saved even if both persons do their best to succeed.

I thought what you said here is right on point. You do have to focus and direct the right type of energy toward your relationship at all times. I thought your list was great and packed full of some really good advice. I think we need a plan that we always use that allows us to focus on our relationships in the greatest ways. Great post.

Hey Dia,
These are all sweet things that really help in the growth and continuance of a relationship. The funny thing is, in the beginning of a relationship we do all these things naturally or without thought.
It’s when we get comfortable when these simple gestures or acts begin to disappear.
I think these are great insights to rekindling a relationship, I’m going to keep them in mind for myself!

Hey Dia, sorry I’m late to the party, it seems my tardiness is becoming apparent again
As Sibyl said, you’re starting to get a reputation for relationships! There’s a lot of brilliant advice here which a lot of people can use if they so desire.
Thanks for sharing
Many people forget to always say nice things or use nice words to talk to your partners. You can sometimes very polite with strangers (say please or thank you) but you didn’t do that to your partner
