After a few years of marriage, many couples start taking each other for granted and forget the simple secrets of love that can keep the spark alive in their relationship. You can recreate the first few days of your relationship and rekindle your romance by spending some ‘extra’ time with your wife. Relive those wonderful moments and woo her all over again with these 5 simple tricks:

1. Talk and listen to her. Give her a chance to express her feelings and be patient with her even if you don’t agree with what she says. Ask her how her day was and tell her something about your day at office. Make yourself available when she really needs to be heard.

2. Show her that you appreciate her and feel proud of her: Your wife probably does a lot for the family, so don’t take her for granted. When she helps you do some of your work, give her a few roses to show how touched you are. Appreciate and compliment her genuinely in front of your family and friends, she will feel great. Help her in her work.

3. Give her a surprise gift. You don’t need to have an excuse like birthday or anniversary, to give her a gift. Buy her a nice gift that she wanted all these days, without any reason. You may know her likes and dislikes, so give her a personalized gift, she is sure to get impressed and floored by you.

4. Spend some good time with her. No matter how busy you are, take her out for a dinner at her favorite restaurant or go shopping with her. Men may find shopping quite boring, but just try accompanying her while she shops, without giving the expression of boredom. Women like men as companions too, not just lovers. Play some games together like tennis or basketball. You can also workout together. Take out some time from your busy schedule and go on a holiday together. The thrill of a sudden vacation alone can do wonders for your relationship.

5. Spoil and pamper her: For a change, cook some nice dinner for her. Prepare a nice bubble bath or massage spa for her. Fill your apartment with chocolates, candles or rose petals to woo her. Call a violinist to your place while you both dine and dance together.
