How to Rekindle a Romantic Relationship
Time can dull a relationship, especially if you fall into non-communicative routine. This doesn't happen overnight, but rather happens in little pieces, eventually resulting in a relationship that does not have the same romance it had at the beginning. This doesn't mean you need to end the relationship, but rather means that you need to take a series of small, day-to-day steps that refoster a connection with your partner. If you do this, you will soon find that the romance is back in your relationship in force, making of you substantially happier.

Do the things you did together at the beginning of your relationship. If you had a few favorite dates, do them again. This will take you back in time and remind you what you have together.

Tell your partner how you feel -- even when she infuriates you. Indeed, it is arguably healthier to tell her how you feel when she's making you angry because you can argue and reach a resolution, at which point you can move forward. If you don't do this, though, you will just bottle things up, and your communication will not be as good.

Tell your partner you love him as often as possible. This is a good idea because it reminds both of you of why you are in the relationship in the first place. It is easy, over time, to assume that your partner knows you love him, but a little reminder doesn't hurt, only helps.

Do new activities together that don't involve anyone else. This will give you a chance to forge new memories and move forward with your relationship. By building new memories and communicating more you will redevelop the feelings you had for one another at the beginning of the relationship.
