Take a holiday, Skiing or in the Sunshine

Volunteer for Special Olympics.

you may need to replenish your energy eat meals with high carbohydrate content are important, for example pasta, cereals, fruit etc. Passive Rest Sessions Sleep is an example of passive rest and it is important you get enough sleep. Other examples of passive rest are sitting, reading, watching TV etc. Just relaxing and giving your body and mind a break.

Not a single person looked at the category the question was in? Pasta? Skiing? Huh?

Do something different. If you are jaded in love, you may find it beneficial to do things by yourself for a while, things that you enjoy that are best done alone. Travel, a new hobby, a new job... that kind of thing. Good luck.

I looked at the category, and you answer to the question of love. Let me start by sickening you a little with the cloying supercilious honey-drip of my relationship. I love my wife dearly, and remind her of this daily. I thought that my first marriage was how life was, with a routine quickly fallen into, and a divorce several years down the line when she 'outgrew' me (wanted to go partying with her friends now that the children were a bit older). I hadn't experienced love on the level that I now have. Don't get me wrong - we have the occasional row over stupid things (I'm usually the stupid thing) and say things we don't mean, but we get past that and continue our love. Looking back (which is why I needed to give you background) I realise that my first marriage had jaded me. Not having anything better to compare our relationship to, we thought that this was what happened in a marriage. Our lovemaking went from tearing clothes off, through the weekly constitutional, to headachesville. I took her for granted , and she did the same. We used the children as an excuse for not giving each other treats (like the occasional meal out). I like to think that I have learned some things from my first, abortive, marriage. If I make an effort with myself (more regular exercise, better grooming, quality clothing) then my wife is more proud to be seen with me and realises the effort is for her. She also makes an effort for me. Hobbies - we have some pasttimes we share, but other that we pursue separately. I inquire about her hobbies, and she likes to hear what I've got up to, even if we don't really care that much. One evening a week is our evening. The children are almost grown now, and know when they're not required. Once a month we go out as a family, but that once a week is when I cook for us and the candles come out and we enjoy each other's company. The boys are actually really good and tidy up after us (content parents let them stay up longer). If you're feeling jaded you need to start making an effort. Start it for yourself, and you will find it spills over into your relationship. Think about what you would do if you were back on the 'available' market, and treat your partner like that. It's too easy to find excuses to not do things - you really have to push yourself. One thing I want to do is to organise a mystery journey for her, where she follows a series of clues to get to a destination (hotel room) where I am waiting for her. She needs to get nationality first, though, so that's what we're aiming for. Push the boat out and recapture what was best about your early relationship - and don't let small obstacles stand in your way.
