The Next 50 Dates
Whether you've been together two months, two years, or two decades, if you want the passion to last, you've got to make an effort to keep it alive.
It's Electrifying
At the beginning stage of a relationship, all is sugar and spice and everything nice. Romance is cookin', love is simmerin', and passion is steamin'. Your stomachs are all a-flutter just at the thought of seeing one another and you cannot get enough of each other. As John Travolta sang in Grease, "it's electrifying".
However, somewhere between her morning ritual of hogging the bathroom only to emerge exactly the same as she entered and his nightly ritual of lying on the sofa channel surfing, the passionate and romantic relationship that you both once found exhilarating has turned into the relationship equivalent of elevator music. That's right, all background sound with no toe-tapping rhythm.
Mr. Routine and Mrs. Ritual
As time goes by, just like at a buffet dinner, one helping after another helping of your partner and eventually, you start to feel as if even one more tiny morsel will push you over the edge and you're either going to gag or burst.
Trust me, it happens. We've all been through it, and if it hasn't happened to you yet, it will at some point or another. Mr. Routine and Mrs. Ritual have an astonishing way of sneaking up on you if you let your guard down. The Next 50 Dates was written to ward off the ho-hum tedium that easily manifests when we get caught up in the whatevers of our every day lives.
If this scenario has played itself out all too frequently in your life, do not feel embarrassed. It is part of our human nature, but thankfully, it's not a fait-accompli as long as you're willing to shake things up a little.
Here's what I mean...
Let's say that your absolutely favorite dessert of all time is chocolate cake topped with whipped cream. If you had your way, you'd have it after dinner every night while relaxing on the sofa watching television. What would happen if you did eat it every single night? It would lose its appeal and you'd get sick of it mighty quickly. Sooner or later, you would start to crave something different. Now, let's be clear. While I do like using analogies, I am in no way suggesting or implying that you should go out and get a little something-something on the side. What I am suggesting, however, is that you try adding a little icecream, or a few berries, or some orange zest to your chocolate cake and that you eat it away from the television, someplace new and different. I expect that by the time you finish The Next 50 Dates, you will have discovered (or rediscovered) another way to enjoy whipped cream!
