Setting up a time to turn off Netflix and turn on the inner interest about each other. The best way to do that is asking questions.

Stay in, hang out, have fun together as you did during the dating phase. By spending quality time, you open the door for communication and strengthen your bonds. From taking a weekend trip, taking a SPA day together, to cooking a romantic dinner together.
Get To Know Their Hobbies

Sure, it’s essential to have independent pursuits and hobbies. Still, it’s equally vital to understand why your partner likes to go to the Bookclub every week or practice Volleyball every Sunday.
You don’t need to go with them if you hate Volleyball but get to know what’s going on with their team, how they’re evolving in the sport, or show interest in some sort.

Now you know what’s going on in your partner’s Volleyball team, maybe it’s time to pick up a hobby you both like. For instance, if you both like cooking, why not take a cooking class together or something you like trying on your own and would like to try again.

Going out of your comfort zone and saying to your partner you’d like to try something new with them in bed is another excellent way to know a bit more about them.
Talk through your differences, understand what gives the most pleasure to each other in bed and try something new are great ways to reconnect and reignite with your significant one.
