Love deserves celebration throughout the year, not just on Valentine's Day. It's a chance to reignite the spark back into your relationship, increasing intimacy, love and connection regardless of the season. Take the opportunity to remind your partner how much they mean to you, whether that’s through a romantic meal, a cosy night in or through a little excitement in the bedroom. Here are four simple ways to foster love and intimacy throughout the year... 

Share your feelings 

Love is more than just flowers and gifts; it’s about opening our hearts and sharing our feelings. Use any day as an occasion to have heartfelt conversations with your partner, sharing the qualities you love and appreciate the moments that have brought you closer. Be open and honest with your partner, expressing just how much they mean to you.

In sharing your feelings, it’s also important to listen attentively to your partner's thoughts - what they appreciate about the relationship, and the moments that hold significance to them. Having a conversation like this not only helps to strengthen the love and connection between you both but also enhances intimacy and strengthens the emotional bond you share. 

Try something new

Adding novelty into your relationship can ignite a spark of fresh energy and love between you both. Instead of sticking to the usual routine, perhaps you can step out of your comfort zone together and embrace something new. 

Looking to elevate your intimate experience? Explore the world of condoms to add a touch of excitement to your sexual adventures. Whether it’s a unique texture, a more satisfying sensation or an enticing flavour - there’s a condom to cater for every desire.

For something more sensual, dive into the realm of lubricants. Whether you’re into the succulent sweetness of strawberry, the cool freshness of mint or a more gentle lubricant, there’s a whole new world of pleasure waiting for you with lubricants. Discover the perfect one to heighten the sensations and make your romantic moments even more unforgettable, turning every intimate moment into a celebration of love and connection. 

If you’re looking to spice things up, perhaps you could try a different sexual position. Whether you’re looking for a different change in intensity, angle or closeness, trying a new position can add a novel twist to your sex-life that enhances the passion. Make it an exploration of pleasure, excitement and deepening your connection - creating lasting memories in the journey of your love and connection.

Be present 

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, sometimes being present with our loved ones can take a backseat. Take the time to enhance your love and connection by staying in the present moment.  

Tech-free zone

Put your phone away, turn off notifications and disconnect from the virtual world. Being away from distractions allows you both to foster a deeper connection and turn your attention on one another. 

Create a relaxing atmosphere 

Whether you love a candlelit dinner, or a cosy night in with a movie and soft lighting, create an atmosphere that encourages intimacy and love. Use this backdrop to create regular special moments, turning a relaxing setting into an unforgettable moment that will be cherished all year long. 

Shared silence

Silence can be a powerful means of expressing love and connection. Embrace moments of shared silence, whether that’s through staring into each other's eyes, cuddling or stargazing, these silent moments can strengthen the bond between you, making you feel closer to one another. 

Keep the romance alive 

To keep your relationship special, it’s important to add a touch of romance, at anytime of the year. Surprise your partner with small but meaningful actions that show that you care. Romance is often found in simple gestures, such as a romantic note, breakfast in bed or offering to help with a challenging task. Taking the time to reflect on these little moments can help to increase the emotional connection, making your partner feel loved and supported. These thoughtful actions create shared memories and deepen the connection between you two, creating an environment where love flourishes, making sure your relationship remains a source of joy and mutual affection.
