10 Signs You Are An Old Married Couple

A relationship is not always exciting, adventurous or even inspiring. However, if you are getting into the 'old married couple' zone, then you need to be careful. Even a permanent relationship like marriage needs some amount of spice in it. And if you allow the old married couple syndrome to settle in, sooner or later, one of you will be tempted to look outside the marriage for some excitement.

That is why, it is vital to not allow boredom in your marriage become a part of your everyday life. You must fight the signs of boredom in your marriage and come out of the old married couple syndrome as quickly as you can. Sometimes, it does not hit until and unless you actually read about it or see it through someone else's eyes.

12 PHYSICAL THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOUR PARTNER

That is why; you need to find out if you are actually behaving like an old married couple. There is nothing wrong in being married to your partner for a long time and being comfortable with each other. However, your comfort level should not be so great that you actually end up living together like brother and sister instead of a married couple.

Here are some signs that you are actually behaving like an old married couple and need to break out of that mould right now.

You prefer sleep to sex

It is alright to be tired after work on weekdays. But if you are too tired to make love, then there is something very wrong with you.

You go around with unwaxed legs for weeks

You don't have to rush to parlour every second week when you are not in a new relationship. But when you do not wax for months and don't care if your partner sees you all hairy, then your relationship is out of spice.

You fall asleep in the middle of a conversation

This simply means that you find your partner boring and do not bother about what is being said. It is one of the signs that your marriage is lacking the excitement it should have.

You fantasise about hot guys/girls while making love

Love making has become so routine that you have taken to day dreaming about hot guys or girls while getting intimate with your partner.

You want to watch TV instead of porn

You actually prefer television sitcoms and sagas to downloading and watching some steamy adult movies. You guys are being a very boring married couple.

You use the toilet with the door open

It is sexy to share the bathroom for a steamy bath. But to be pooping with an open door while your partner can hear you fart. This means you are letting go of yourself.

You haven't bought sexy lingerie in a while

You do not buy sexy lingerie only if you are out to 'hunt'. You can also buy sexy lingerie when you want to feel good about yourself. And those grandma panties are not helping your love life anyway.

You have to make plans to make love

If lovemaking has become a carefully planned ritual in your marriage, you are not going in the right direction. What happened to surprise sex and the adrenaline rush that came with it.

You sleep in pajamas

We all know that it is comfortable to sleep in pajamas. However, it is also very not 'exciting'. So you should probably try dress in a more inviting way.

You have a huge beer belly but couldn't care less

Sometimes, the boredom and sloth in our own life extends to the marriage. You need to pull yourself up, hit the gym, lose a couple of pounds so that you start feeling better about yourself.
