As soon as things become predictable, they become boring" by Hunter Parrish.

When I first read this I was struck with REALizations.
This quotation somehow describes most of the contemporary relationships.
Long-term couple experience this phenomenon called as "relationship boredom".
It is when you get so familiarize with your partner that sometimes you feel like excitement and surprises are bygone.
This for me is where break ups and divorce gets into the picture.

Boredom is like the removal of heat from the fire triangle which leads to nothing but frustration. Because obviously you can't maintain the fire burning.
The exact opposite of boredom for me is SPONTANEITY.
Being spontaneous plays a vital role in a relationship.
It helps you take initiative of adding sparks in your relationship.
I know, easy for me to say because I'm just saying but take it as a challenge.
First, I'll save you the time to search what "SPONTANEOUS" means.
Merrian webster defines it as "doing things that have not been planned but that seem enjoyable and worth doing at a particular time"
In laymans term or my term it means, not being afraid to get outside the box and try NEW THINGS TOGETHER.

So if you start losing the heat and momentum, keep that fire by burning things together (not literally) and dont just try to keep it to the next level but to a 'DIFFERENT LEVEL'.

Just remember, some things might not go according to what you plan, but with the right person everything will be just fine. :-)

Keep Loving.
