Lovisha married Sanjoy four years back. It was a love marriage and people considered it a match made in heaven. But four years down the line, Lovisha feels like the charm is gone. She feels like there’s no fire in the relationship any more. She often wonders if Sanjoy has fallen out of love with her. The mundane everyday routine seems to be killing the romantic spark they once shared.

Lovisha, and many other women like her are going through a low phase in the marriage. Men and women tend to fall into a dull routine once domesticity sets in. Romance and the fireworks go out of the window once you have kids. But this does not have to be so. Bring back the spice into your marriage, with this oldest trick. Make ‘him’ jealous to get him back. Revive his interest in you with a few simple tricks. This is bound to work wonders for both of you as a couple as well as individually.

• Take A Long Hard Look At The Mirror: Ask yourself if you are the same attractive person that he had fallen for. Are you paying the same attention to your skin, body, hair and face that you once used to? This is where your transformation has to begin.

• Join A Gym: You could do with a couple of kilos less on you, right? When you join a unisex gym, you are bound to meet males. So talk to hubby about some ‘male friends’ from the gym. Hey, you could even talk about the hunky trainer and his muscles! Just mention how appreciative you are of the people who invest so much effort into taking care of their bodies.

• Don’t Wait For Him: Why should you be waiting for him to get home every evening? This just tells him that you don’t have a life. Call him to find out when he will be coming home. Inform him that you may come home later than he does. Just show him that you have a life outside the marriage.

• Get Some Lingerie: Nothing excites men like some really saucy lingerie. So spend some money and buy yourself interesting stuff. When you reach home, keep the packet someplace where he can see it. Let a little lace or a strap peep out from the packet. Don’t talk about it. And certainly don’t wear it. Not now, not next week. Not till he shows all the signs of a jealous husband. Let him wonder why you bought it, for a week or two.

• Get A New Wardrobe: Give away all your old clothes to charity. Go out wearing chic smart and new clothes. Never venture outside the house without make-up. Be extra polite to waiters, driver and every other guy you come across.

• Got A Younger Neighbor?: Any guy who’s couple of years younger to you will fit the bill. Ask this guy to come over to fix some tap/electricity hook up or something else. Ask him to come in just when your hubby is expected back home. Let your guy catch this guy at home with you.

• Girls Galore: Go out for a wild evening with your female friends, while he sits at home. Better make it a Sunday! Before you know it, you’ll be missed at home.

Having done all this, you are bound to shock your guy into noticing that something is amiss. Now’s the time to have a heart to heart conversation with him about how things are between the two of you. Tell him how you feel and also what you want. Make an effort to revive your relationship. Do the things that you used to do when you just got married. Rediscover each other.
