People who approach their daily lives with zest and strong emotion seem
to carry those intense feelings over to their relationships and love life. If
you expect your relationship to have passion, that emotional energy should be
at work in your hobbies, interests, and other fun time activities.
Studies have shown that your brain's reward centers respond similarly to
love as to getting excited about your other daily interests. Getting
"fired up" in all areas of life translates into firing up the
feelings you have in your love life.
I enjoy all the things that life has to offer. But what makes it so
enjoyable is someone that shares my passion(s) with me. Having someone by my
side (or just behind me) on a bicycle, lying beside me in the sand at the
beach, grabbing the camera for her own shot, or paddling in our canoe keeps
that bond strong.
And the strength of that bond of activity directly transfers to our
personal and private relationship. It seems the more we do together as a couple
the more intimately our mind, body and soul connect. The more time I spend
close to her, the more time I want to spend close to her. The voraciousness of
my appetite for her grows with our continual connection.
Spending time together is important but it’s how you spend your time
together that influences your relationship satisfaction. Be sure the time you
spend together includes plenty of new and challenging activities.
