7 ways to rev up your physical relationship

You can be in a long-term relationship and still have sex that newlyweds would envy (yes, really!). Here, Canadian sexologist Dr. Trina Read, author of ‘Till Sex Do Us Part – Make Your Married Sex Irresistible (Key Porter, 2009) shows you how to rev up your relationship.
 
1. The key to bedroom bliss is getting what you want. Yes ladies, those of us who ask for what we want have the best sex lives.
 
2. Don't be shy about speaking up. It's a myth that men don't want to be romantic superstars in the bedroom.
 
3. Give your relationship a check-up. Find one thing you want to change about your romantic relationship and work on it until it becomes a habit. Then move on to your next goal.
 
4. Write a list of things you find romantic and ask your partner to do the same. Exchange your lists and make a pledge to please each other.
 
5. Studies show that couples with successful marriages schedule sex. Those who put it on the agenda really do have sex more often, so book a date!
 
6. If you think your libido could use a lift, consider talking to a qualified sex therapist or marriage counselor to explore your issues.
 
7. Be playful in the bedroom and have a few laughs – you'll enjoy each other more, in and out of the bedroom.
