7. Laugh and be light hearted: Marriages that are not juicy have a bad case of seriosity. Life, work, kids, financial pressures, restraints all have a way of taking over and engulfing the marriage. Take a break, put the stressors on the side and find the lighter side of the day to smile and laugh about. There is nothing sexier than a smile and a happy partner. It’s hard to feel juicy about a Debbie-downer. We are all capable of laughing, even in the worst of times.

8. Be sexual: This is the playground of a marriage. Be fun sexually. Fun does not mean you have to engage in sexual acrobatics, it just means have fun. Do not have sex for obligations sake. At the end of the day sex can really only make you feel good. Get out of the rigidity that can happen, be open to having a great attitude and allow yourself to be juicy.

Your relationship is what you make it, so if you have allowed the quality of the relationship to drop, be inspired to make it better again. It is not hard to do. A marriage is like a company. If you quit putting in deposits it will go bankrupt.

Little Life Message: Love yourself so you have love to give and then share that love with your partner.
