I have been in a passionate, monogamous relationship for 22 years.

11 secrets to keeping the passion turned up.

= THREAD =
1. Complete honesty

Whether in the bedroom or in regular life, distrust and lies will destroy true intimacy.

The higher the level of trust between you, the more passionate your relationship will be.

As you age and trust deepens, your love life will soar to a new level.
2. Remember neither of you are porn star

*If you watch porn you are a dumb ass
*If you compare your love life to porn you are a huge dumb ass

Real sex is about intimacy, love and unity
If your sex life is full of intimacy, love and unity, the pleasure will be off the chart
3. Physical fitness makes a massive difference

Sex gets better as you get older. Don't sabotage it by letting your body get flabby

Not saying you have to have 7% body fat, but you need to maintain solid muscle mass and steady stamina

Couch potatoes make poor love partners
4. Flirt outside of the bedroom

If you only get frisky in the bedroom when you are in need, things will get stale

Flirt, kiss, hold hands, play grab ass as often as you can. Then when you get serious the table will already be set!

Plus its good for your kids to see you flirt!
5. Don't take yourself too seriously

If your sex life becomes an ego trip you are in trouble.

It is okay to laugh at yourself. If something doesn't work the way you wanted or something gets a little embarrassing, don't be afraid to laugh.

Laughter during sex is fantastic
6. Plan your intimate moments

With kids and a busy life it will become impossible to have spontaneous love making.
Too often its late at night with the lights off after everyone goes to bed.
Being quiet and listening for sounds of your kids moving around is not very romantic!
Make a plan to have true privacy.
Plan opportunities to have sex other than in your bedroom late at night.

Don't be afraid to get creative. Open planning will feel less like organized, boring sex and more like a couple teenagers sneaking around.

That is a good thing.
7. Don't sleep on sexting

I am 45 and my wife 42. We are not technology geniuses. In fact we are old fashion.

However, using technology to turn up the passion has worked wonders for us. Mid day off the wall texts can work wonders.
The texts do not have to be graphic or with racy pictures, although those don't hurt either!

But invoking inside jokes or covertly referencing past sexual successes can keep things at a steady burn.
8. Don't be broke!

This may seem odd on this list.

But as life goes on and your relationship matures, not being able to pay your bills will destroy your love life.

Working through tough times is wonderful, but chronic brokeness will kill your relationship.
9. Never miss a chance to compliment your spouse

After 22 years, my wife will blush and say thank you when I tell her how gorgeous she looks

Never assume that because you have said it before that you shouldn't say it again

Compliments should be constant and heartfelt
10. Don't yell at your kids

I have had to sleep on the couch more times than I'd like to remember not because of how I treated her but because of how I have treated our children.

Nothing turns my wife on faster than me being a good and loving father.
11. Ditch the smart phones in your room

If you are laying in bed and both of you are scrolling your phones you are missing out.

There is a special bond between a man and women who lie next to each other each night

There is a give and take of strength that cannot be replicated
Make a rule that after a certain time of night, the phones are gone and not to be checked till morning.

When you have couple time, have couple time. Besides what could be better than a hot blooded women laying next to you in bed!!
