5 Tips on How to Keep Your Relationship “Fresh”?

When couples just fall in love for each other, they are completely out of control. Both sides are willing to do anything or everything for each other. Even if he hates shopping so much, he still shops with you from day till night without making a single complaint. If he does not know how to cook, he tries his best to cook a romantic dinner for you and tells you that he has never done so till he met you.
However, things do not always remain the same, so do relationships. A few months after the "honeymoon relationship period" ends, guys start to get bored and enter into comfort zone with the girlfriends. He starts to care you lesser, text you lesser and lazy to create any surprises for you anymore. Women start panicking, wondering if the relationship has reached the stagnant point. Probably, stagnant is better than going downhill. Nevertheless, both are bad signs if it does not go uphill again. Therefore, share with you the following 5 tips on how you can keep your relationship "fresh".
1) Keep communicating with him.
When the heat of love has passed away, he might be lazy to text, call or see you that often like before. However, never stop communicating with him. If you think he is the Mr.Right you want to spend the rest of your life with, you need to put in more effort by keep concerning him. Do not get angry and start scolding him when he replies your message late, just take it easy. By keeping communication with him, you will know if he still cares for you and this can keep your relationship from going downhill any further.
2) Be his best friend.
If he likes watching football matches, try watching with him. It might be difficult for most women but if you cannot stop him from doing his favorite activity, what can you do? If you scold him or nag him, he only feels that you are annoying and he would rather spend his time with his friends. Therefore, you need to be his best friend by joining in his activities and show to him that you are interested in it. When he feels that you are someone whom he can share his life with, he will be very excited to find you as his Mrs. Right and for sure, your relationship is fresh again.
3) Avoid nagging him too much.
Sometimes, it is really women nature to like nagging the men. When women concern their boyfriends, or husbands and/or children, they tend to nag a lot. For example, remind them to do this or not to do that. However, one thing you must keep in mind is that no one likes to be nagged, not even yourself. I believe you do not like to be nagged by your mother either. Therefore, try to reduce the amount of times you nag your boyfriend. The lesser you nag, the more he wants to spend time with you.
4) Have your own life.
By having your own life does not require you to frozen your relationship. Very often, the main reason why the couples get bored very fast in a relationship is because there is no one else they spend time with except each other. The world of two lovers seems nice and romantic but this situation cannot last forever. No matter how many more topics you can share with him, there will be times when he get bored of seeing or talking with the same person but no one else. Hence, both of you need to take time off from each other. Hang out with your friends like the time before you met him. Seeing each other lesser a bit can keep the relationship to grow stronger.
5) Plan a trip together.
It does not need to be somewhere very far or must take a plane to fly to another country. It could be a road trip or just go to any nearby seaside to have a picnic together. Travelling together can get the city-stress life out of sight and out of mind temporarily. Even though temporarily, it is very helpful in maintaining your relationship fresh.
When you find that your relationship is going downhill or reaches a stagnant point, stay calm. Certainly, you cannot expect your relationship to keep striking up non-stop. There will be a point where both of you need to stop and think the next step. While it starts to go downhill, just apply the above mentioned 5 tips, your relationship will be refreshed.
