      We've been married for 5 years and I'm worried that we're falling into a rut. I really love my partner, but how can I make sure that we don't get bored with each other?

      The easiest way to avoid boredom is to change routines - and it doesn't need to cost a lot. Try getting up earlier in the morning; use the extra time for a shower together. If the TV's on during dinner turn it off - soft music does wonders. Experiment with a kind of food you haven't tried before.

      Transform your bedroom into a boudoir by adding candles, a new bedspread, getting rid of the piles of papers and "junk," and putting out fresh flowers. And, if you can, an over-night romantic get-away is guaranteed to refresh a relationship.
