When we talk about bed time routine for couples most of the brains would just get diverted towards ‘sex’ (gather your thoughts back). But truth to be told, there are other things too that you must include and eradicate from your bedtime routine in order to make the bond with your partner a stronger one. Try to incorporate the below mentioned bedtime tips in your life to make your marriage last longer and grow stronger.
1. Go to bed at the same time- Life has become very hectic and stressed for almost everyone. Especially when you are married you have to take care of yourself as well as the needs of your better half. Along with that, you have your own needs and commitments both personal and professional. With all these things, a lot of present age couples have forgotten to go to the bed together. One partner may have some office work or may want to watch TV before retiring to bed. But if you want your life to be a happy one then manage your tasks in such a way that you can go to bed at the same time.

2. No electronics on the bed- Using electronic items at night time not only disturbs your sleeping pattern but can also cause a havoc on your marriage. The whole day you both are busy with your respective jobs and at night when you get some free time you must talk to each other instead checking the social media sites. Utilise this time to ask you partner about their day and tell them about yours. Keep your cell phones on the side table and indulge in some real life talks.

3. Talk to your partner- If you are facing a crisis in your life both in terms of personal and professional life, make sure to discuss it with your partner. Talk about your achievements, failures, insecurities, fears and basically everything that has anything to do with your life. This will reduce the stress and will get both of your closer to each other. This is the reason we call your better half your life partner; they are not just there to share the bed with you, but your entire life.

4. Introduce ‘touch’ to your bedtime- Touching each other or cuddling is a great way to add intimacy to your bed time without actually getting into any sort of sexual activity. No one is going to have sex on a daily basis but that should stop you from getting close or intimate with your partner, touching and cuddling are just as good as sex. Getting close to each other releases the feel good hormones which make you feel happy and loved while keeping the spark alive. And at the end of the day that is all that you want.

Now how you want to kiss your partner good night is totally up to you. Do try it and you will see the bond with your partner getting stronger.
