Teach an old dog a new trick!

Sometimes we settle into the same old routine day in and day out. Well, it is time to teach that old dog a new trick. Routines are fine but every once in a while you need to branch out and learn or try something new. Our relationship with our partner is no different. Status quo is okay but throwing in some excitement from time to time adds a little flavor to the relationship. Now, this can be something radical or it can be something that just changes the way you look at things. Tailor this activity to meet your personal preferences and hers.

Your first step is go to a bookstore either online or an actual store and browse for a while. Check out the aisles of things you might have interest in or that your significant other has interest in. Look for books that are simple and straight forward on the topic, I like to start with the dummies series, you know like "Computers for Dummies." These books are simple in getting you started on the topic. The Dummies series actually helped me start blogging. If you don't find anything in those aisles, check out the self-help aisle. There is a broad range of topics, and this area of the store is usually quite busy. After searching and finding the perfect topic, simply buy the book and begin reading. Make sure you lover knows you’re reading it. Leave it lying around or read it in front of her. It is bound to strike up conversations. See if she is interested in learning about the topic also. If so, you can learn about it together. After all, that may help ensure you will put your new knowledge to work. I have learned so much from reading self-help books, and even though I don't necessarily use all the information from each book I take what appeals to me and put it into my life.

Now I know you might feel a little apprehensive about doing this. I enjoy actually going to the bookstore and looking at all the different topics, but if that makes you uncomfortable use an online store like Amazon. Amazon's site is very user friendly and they have every topic you can think of. If you’re still having some trouble getting into this activity, I have listed below some topics that have been of interest to me. Feel free to use them if you need to. Now teach that dog some new tricks, and add them to your relationship. Get out of your rut.

Here are some topics I find interesting that might spice up your relationship: exercise, yoga, food preparation, travel, tantric practices, photography, wine tasting, tandem biking, hiking, sexual practices or positions, massage, karma sutra, astronomy, dancing, trivia, the paranormal, classic movies, or anything you can share with someone else would be perfect.

With Romance you never reach the pinnacle you just have to keep climbing.
