Marriage is an institution ordained by God, and it is meant to promote togetherness and intimacy. This is a far cry from the actual fact, most marriages are a shadow of themselves. Both partners are just hanging on, mostly because of what the society may say or because of the welfare of their kids. This is so bad, marriage should be enjoyed not endured.

Below are 4 practical steps to ignite that flame of love again :


**Self Sacrifice
In marriage, you shouldn't be self centered, but you need to care for the needs of your partner. How caring are you? Do you consider what makes your partner happy? Is the interest of your partner your priority? These are some questions, you need to answer in order to evaluate your self.

True love is patience, kind and knows no boundary, your partner is your better half, you two are together as one. So treat her the same way you will treat yourself.


**Demonstrative affection
How often do you tell your partner that you love her? Expressing your feelings is a sign of true emotions, don't say, she knows I love her, I provide for her basic needs, I make sure, she lacks nothing. Females are tender and emotionally made to be influenced by words, so don't assume that she knows you love her. Demonstrate it, spice up your marriage, do those things you did while you were dating her.

Take her to romantic dinner, give her surprise gifts, kiss her often and don't forget to tell her how much you love her.



**Maintaining physical attraction
This is common among ladies, once they are married, they believe they have nothing to worry about. They care less about their physical looks, they gradually become unattractive. This is really absurd. As a lady, your looks should be attractive often whether you are married or not. Wear neat and beautiful dresses, maintain a nice hair. You know what your husband likes, try to maintain it. It's true that physical attraction should not be the main criteria for an happy marriage, but it is a necessity to spice up your marriage.


**Imperfections are allowed
Don't expect your partner to be perfect, marriage is the union of two imperfect individuals, there is a tendency to see flaws, and get provoked, this is where you need to understand each other. Both of you should tolerate your flaws, help each other to build a marriage that will stand the test of time.

The most important thing is you make God the foundation of your marriage. Live a life that honours God in your marriage and love your spouse unconditionally.

INSIGHTFUL !
