When you are newlyweds, almost everything about your spouse is new and exciting. After a few years of marriage the newness and excitement begin to wear off. Romantic feelings tend to decline.

Just as there is real danger in becoming too familiar your spouse, there is real value in doing new and unusual things together. Here are four takeaways for married couples from Chrissy and my Date in Delhi:

1. If you have the option of doing the same old thing or something new, choose the new. I am so glad we did not just hang out in the hotel.

2. Keep each other’s preferences and limitations in mind. Look for what will be fun for both of you. The subway ride was exciting and I loved it. Chrissy did not. If we did it over I would skip that part for her sake. Everything else was a win.

3. Intentionally change your environment. Go to a place you have never been to. Something about an unusual place arouses emotional alertness. Experiencing this together can draw you closer.

4. Expose yourselves as a couple to others who are different, in person or in stories. We got both on our tour. The stories and the people were so different it was mind boggling. The experience gave Chrissy and me really cool stuff to talk about.

One big key to keeping romance alive in your marriage is to seek new sources of novelty and variety to compensate for becoming familiar with your spouse. How do you keep the fire alive?
