Where Did The Passion Go?

Have you ever looked at your partner and wondered, “What happened to us”?  When you were first together, you couldn’t keep your hands off of each other.  Now, you don’t even get to sleep in bed without one of the kids sleeping with you.  This is the story of most of our lives.

The Beginning of Love

When you were first together, your body was being flooded with chemicals known as the “love cocktail”.  These chemicals cause you to feel a high every time you are thinking about your partner.  You get butterflies in your stomach and sweaty palms.  You want to be with each other at all times.

This also gives you a very high level of sexual arousal and desire.  All you want is sex, all you think about is sex.  It is very easy to be turned on.  You are very romantic to each other; very passionate.

It Wears Off

After about the 2 year mark, these chemicals wear off.  Everyone goes back to “normal”.  A low desire person goes back to wanting only occasional sex.  A quiet person stops talking so much.  Not everything is romantic anymore.

Keep the Passion Alive

The first step to keeping the passion alive is to make it a priority in your life.  If a HOT sex life is important to you, do what it takes to maintain it.  It is the job of both partners to keep the fire burning.  There are a lot of books, videos, classes, and workshops available to help you with this.

The second step is to become an expert in your partner’s arousal.  What turns him/her on?  Most of you think that after all of these years, you know what your partner needs.  This might not be the case.  It changes throughout our lives.  As we grow and change, so does our desire.  Begin by having a conversation with your partner about what turns him/her on.
