14 Tiny Habits Of Couples Who Never Leave The Newlywed Phase

“…By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.” And that’s where the honeymoon phase begins — the joy, excitement, happiness, and high expectations of a wonderful, long, and fulfilling life together.

However, the longer you’re together, romance begins to fizzle out. But it’s possible to get that loving feeling back in your relationship!

What happens after the honeymoon phase is over? Oftentimes, they become closer and truly enjoy the beauty of their new marriage. They hold hands and constantly show public affection. They eat off of each other’s plates. The couple looks deeply into each other’s eyes while professing their undying love and devotion.

Year one passes and it’s like the honeymoon never ended. The happy couple pulls out the one-year frozen wedding cake and relives the wedding day all over again. They are in total bliss. But, as the years roll by, the bliss in a relationship seems to roll away as well.

Can a couple who’s been married for many years reignite the newlywed spark? I believe they can — but both parties need to be willing.
