Is it normal for a relationship passion to fade?

Question

Sooo i read somewhere that people chase after that dopamine rush in a relationship, and think its love. Thats why people get bored and leave relationships, just to find a spark with someone else and repeat the cycle. I am very committed to my partner, but i noticed after 2 years, yes we have beautiful rare moments, but that “Chase” is gone. I love him very much, i am in love and i choose to love him every day and i want to for the rest of my life, and hes the same way. Im very committed to making this work, and so is he. Any advice on what i can do to spice up the relationship? Weve been together 2 years. We used to argue in the beginning, but we got past it and communicate really well. We never argue anymore. We have fun little debates, but never argue. So everything’s calm, peaceful, and good. But i want to spice things up in a healthy, non-toxic way.

Answer

What people fail to understand is relationships require work and effort! They require intention just like any other achievements in life! If u want to lose weight once u reach the goal… effort still must be done to maintain it. If u are in a career to keep good work ethic u have to put in effort. Grass is green where it is watered. If u stop watering it… its gonna wither and die. There is also a reason they call the beginning the honey moon phase.

Answer

Maybe try new things. A picnic in the park

Answer

I think what you’re saying is that you don’t feel that same butterfly, giddy, “rush” feeling like you used to. That’s normal. I read something once that said it’s normal for you to love your partner always, but to be ‘in love’ takes work. That feeling isn’t always as strong. It can fade in and out. And it takes effort to maintain. The key is putting in that effort. So many people assume a relationship will always be 100% butterflies and roses, so when it’s not, they give up. Both people need to work at it and find ways to connect, especially when other parts of life get heavy and the relationship gets put on the back burner.

Answer

It is normal for the honeymoon phase to go away, but it’s up to the both of you to constantly reconnect and keep those feelings alive for as long as you both want to be together. If it seems like that’s not happening, it’s time for the two of you to talk and think about what you can do to reconnect.

Answer

Every relationship is different, I’ve been with my partner a year and nine months, and it is exactly like the beginning. We are each other‘s fantasy, it is the most intense passionate relationship that I’ve ever been in, we usually talk dirty before I see him, he’s ready to go the minute he walks through the door. Me pressed up against the wall with my hands above my head and making out all over and groping each other etc. he’s the only man who can match my sex drive. I think a lot of times with other people, it’s effort and consistency. Sometimes they feel once they have you they no longer have to make the effort, or they get lazy or comfortable. We talk about sex all the time, we just had a discussion the other day about threesomes, because I was trying to talk to him about a client and him, he’s a lawyer, so we can have a three-way phone call, that just turned into a whole three-way conversation, but I prefer a man or a woman. We are best friends, he’s the bevis to my Butthead. Humor is our bottom line, we were friends for over 20 years before we got together. He should’ve been a standup comedian instead of a lawyer, but we always have fun, that’s the bottom line having fun with your partner, being each others escape from reality rather than what you want to escape from. We never fight and argue and if anything comes up, the first thing he asked me do you want advice, or you do need to vent. Any issue gets resolved immediately. I wish I would’ve been with him instead of all the crap I dealt with before him. This is the only time honeymoon phase wasn’t over, but relationships are what you make them. But you also have to remember that relationships can change over time. Especially when you have children, obviously sex isn’t gonna be on the brain when you are going through things, but that’s why it’s important to be best friends, and not have sex be the basis of the relationship but be able to spend time together and have company and have fun in more ways than just sex, but sex is important. The connection you feel with your partner, the intimacy, the passion, the intensity, fulfilling each other‘s fantasies, being open to trying different things, my partner wants told me that he had a fantasy of having a six son with the Spice Girls, I said I can’t make that happen, but I can dress up like one of them and talk with an accent how about that. I think the fact that I have a mouth like a Hoover vacuum probably doesn’t hurt either lol And the fact that I enjoy pleasing my partner, just as much as he enjoys pleasing me. That man adores me, we both have each other on a pedestal of amazement. And the fact that after a year and nine months that he still says oh my gosh you’re so fucking hot, then I can still make his legs shake like a baby deer when I give him oral sex. But like I said relationships are what you make them, the effort, the consistency, being open to trying new things. Being each other’s escape from reality, not the fighting in the arguing and the drama nobody wants that. You have to figure out what works for you. Tell whether you guys talk dirty, you watch porn together and reenact it, try and climax when they do, sex toys, whatever it may be that’s how you spice things up you have fun together. Whether that is covering yourselves in body paint and having sex on a tarp and framing and nobody knows what it is except the two of you. Eating food off of each other, but no food down there because that’s an infection waiting to happen, being his stripper, dominatrix, whatever he’s into. Role-play, talking with accents, whatever it may be pretending to be strangers and picking each other up in a bar, like I said it’s about having fun.￼￼

Answer

No. Passion shouldn’t fade.

Answer

My husband and I go out of our way to make each other feel good and loved. We compliment each other often and try to do little things for each other. It's the day to day stuff that matters. It's been 7 years and I stillcvery much enjoy the shit out of him 😅 learn each others love language and think about what you can do to make each other feel loved and get that spark back.
