Being married to the same person for years can lack excitement so may be a reason why an extra-marital relationship is entered into. Here are some suggestions as to how you might rekindle the love within your marriage, make your partner long to be with you and strengthen your feelings for each other.

With bright colored crayons, draw a couple of stick figures holding hands and walking along the sands in the sunlight. This will be an ideal gift for your partner.

The drawing doesn't need to be faultless but attempt to make it does need to look as if you have spent some time on it. Label the two figures with your two names. Draw a big heart and write inside it "I love you" or "I still love you".

Address an envelope with your partner's office and mark it as "Urgent". Place the drawings inside and ensure the envelope is sealed. It should be received by your partner at her office in the middle of a tiring and challenging day.

In the warm twilight hours, spread a blanket on the floor, bring some chocolates, snacks and champagne and have a picnic. Relax and gaze at the stars as both of you enjoy the food.

Your partner will be astounded if you deliver a long stemmed rose to her door. A short message should be attached such as "Thank you for coming into my life".

Prepare your partner for a special massage: Purchase massage oil, a small box, coloured tissue paper and a blank card. Decorate the box with the tissue paper. Display the massage items on a table and write a message such as "Call me on (your phone number) if you want a sensual massage" upon the card.

Remember childhood memories: Walk into the park with your partner and give her a swing.

Have fun with water: During the summer, buy two big water pistols and take them along with you to the beach. Give one to your partner and both of you should have a big water fight.

Find out if there was something your partner had always wanted when she was a little girl.. Buy this for her birthday.
