The buildup to the wedding is so exciting; making arrangements, laying out a plan for your future lives together. But after the honeymoon ends, life begins. And while you may have the most wonderful marriage, even the most devoted couple is certain to find the married lifestyle to be at times, well lets say, less than exciting. I mean lets face it, you love the other person, but spending all day with the same individual makes for a lot of routine activities, that if you are not careful can drag on your relationship and make you both feel unsatisfied with what is otherwise a very loving relationship.

As a result, it is vital that couples not simply sit back in the belief that a marriage will remain exciting merely on its own momentum. Rather, it is important that spouses take some basic steps to infuse their relationships with a bit of excitement.

1. Have Independent Interests

You cannot have anything interesting to say if you spend every waking moment doing and experiencing the same things. Having independent interests is not a sign of a weak marriage, as some newlyweds believe, but rather a sign of its strength. Having independent interests means that you have something unique to bring to conversations, ensuring that you both always have something interesting, and yes exciting, to say to one another.

2. Spontaneous Events

While you were dating, planning the spontaneous event seemed rather innate. But, as we grow comfortable in our relationships and more busy by lifes obligations, we have a tendency to rely upon the strength of our relationships and in so doing fail to keep things spontaneous. So to mix things up; plan an afternoon or evening event that is completely new. Try that show your spouse has been dying to see, or visit that new restaurant that just opened up.

3. Never threaten separation

This is less a rule to keep things exciting, and more one to keep them sound. A relationship can only grow and remain exciting if both parties are confident in their commitment to one another. As a consequence, make it a rule between you and your partner that you never threaten separation or divorce. Establish an understanding that if you threaten separation, you should be heading out the door to back it up. It is a harsh rule, but one that needs imposition if your relationship is to survive the ups and downs which are a part of all marriages.

4. Weekend Trips

One sure-fire way to inject some romance into your marriage is to take a vacation with just the two of you. But with the rigors of life and the costs of a trip, a full-blown vacation can seem hard to justify. So instead opt for a one night local vacation. Plan a dinner and evening out, and cap it off with a night in a hotel. The expense isnt a lot considering the excitement that a trip, no matter how small, can bring into a relationship.

5. Spice up the bedroom

The final tip to bring excitement into any relationship is to spice things up in the bedroom. Your sex life has a strong correlation with the strength and satisfaction of your relationship. So try exploring a new position or even a sexual fantasy or adult toy with your partner, and in so doing share something intimate and bring some excitement into your marriage

This is a great weapon used by the devil to destroy homes and marriages today. When a wife or husband isn't satisfied or contented with their STATUS, STATURE, POSITION & SITUATION - there's a great tendency that either of them will GO OUTSIDE the marriage to fulfill their expectations and demands.

Covetousness covers almost every area and sector of life.. Ranging from coveting other people's beauty, body endowments, sexual appeal and attraction, wealth, fortunes, assets, positions, title, gifts, talents, grace, anointing, knowledge, intellect, etc.

Many are DEFILING THEIR BEDS, just to get what they want AT WHATEVER COST. Many homes are experiencing crisis, conflicts and chaos because of the LACK OF CONTENTMENT among couples.

Many men aren't SATISFIED with their wife's beauty, body endowment, food, sexual appeal, etc. - and therefore, won't mind going out to meet their needs.

Many woman aren't CONTENTED with their husband's body physique, sexual appeal, financial status, etc. - and won't mind engaging in extramarital affairs to fulfill their expectations and needs.

*Other reasons responsible for defilement in marriage are:*

👉🏾 Prioritizing ministerial, career and professional pursuit, at the expense of SEXUAL INTIMACY.

👉🏾 Low sex drive and life among couples, due to "too much schedules and programs", at the expense of the marriage.

👉🏾 Lack of discipline in friendship or relationship with the opposite sex - especially colleagues at work, church, school, business; female or male friends in the neighborhood; suitors and admirers; former relationships or courtships, etc.

👉🏾 Spiritual attack form the pit of hell - which is the main reason behind most spouses engaging in extramarital affairs, and practicing adultery.

Finally, when a home doesn't take JESUS CHRIST to be the anchor and captain of their marriage ship, the home is bound to suffer immeasurable and countless attacks from the kingdom of darkness - and nothing destroys a home faster and quicker than husbands and wives engaging in ADULTERY & IMMORALITY
