Even the best relationships don’t stay in the honeymoon phase forever. It’s normal to grow more comfortable with each other and stop putting in the same kind of effort we did at the beginning. It can actually be a good sign that the relationship has grown past the superficial makeup and flowers to something more meaningful. However, it is important you don’t get so comfortable with each other that it actually kills the spark in your relationship. A good relationship needs constant effort from both partners to maintain happiness.

Who doesn’t remember how they felt at the beginning of a great new relationship—excited, energized, enthusiastic. Just plain happy!

The good news is that those feelings don’t have to subside. Regardless of the length of time together, the relationship fire doesn’t have to burn down. Here is relationship advice on what you can do to keep those fires burning.

1. Be creative. People in long-term relationships run the risk of falling into a rut. Sure, same-old, same-old is comfortable but it isn’t very exciting and as we all know, exciting equals sizzle.
