Lately we’ve been discussing how to bring the romance off the pages of books and into our real life. But before we go spicing things up, it may benefit us to take a moment and reflect on what it is that we really want. How does our current relationship feel? Is there anything we want/need more of?
We recently posed this question to our subscribers (if you’re not a member, join now) and here was the response.
What do you wish your current relationship had more of? Check all that apply.
In addition, people were given an open field to type additional thoughts. Answers ranged anywhere from basic needs regarding communication to a longing for soul-to-soul passion!

Though it may intimidating to have such a discussion, it can be extremely beneficial to understand the end goal before you begin. And remember, it doesn’t have to be too serious. Since at the heart of romance and passion is a playful flirtiness, you can keep it light (but honest, of course).
You might say, “Hey babe, pretend there are dials on our relationship for fun, time together, passion, connection, and spontaneity. Which one would you most like to turn up a bit?”
Even the best relationship could use a little more of something!
