Too many marriages have become no more than a "room-mate" situation or a "financial arrangement". These marriages have simply lost the sizzle that was present at the beginning. There are six simple actions you can take that will lead to the return of the one element that every relationship needs and that is "passion".

1. Make sure you touch your spouse every day. This could be a simple thing like holding their hand in the grocery store, putting your arm around them at the theater or hugging them when you leave for work. It's surprising how many marriages can go a full day without a touch.

2. Eat together. Supper time in America has digressed from the family sitting around the dining room table to family members sitting around their tv, computer,laptops and ipods. It is very important that at least once a day you eat and visit with your spouse.

3. Kiss them good-bye. When you go to work or school make sure you give your sweetheart a kiss. At least once a week, make sure the kiss is a lingering, smoldering, french variety. Women are a like a crock pot, if you get them started in the morning they'll warm up over the course of the day!

4. Serve each other. Nothing says "I love you" like service. My wife and I have divided up the household chores (it's only fair, she works full time too!). Too many men are so chauvinistic that they think washing dishes or cooking is beneath them. Take it from me and the old rock song lyrics "you gotta serve somebody" -it might as well be your wife or husband.

5. Laugh together. Watch a favorite movie or sitcom that you both enjoy. Laughing together is very healthy and has a bonding effect on your marriage.

6. Pinch their butt. Well, let's be more specific, grab their butt! Playful demonstrations of attraction and admiration are very appropriate in marriage.

Think of unique ways to let your partner know that you still find them attractive, desirable and sexy. The dividends will be well worth it!
