With the Covid-19 pandemic forcing couples to remain home, you find that your love life is stagnant. Weeks and months of working from home, sweatpants, and take-out have left you both feeling less than sexy. It’s not uncommon.

Though you and your partner may feel the doldrums of this year, there are ways to spice up your marriage. Delivery isn’t just for groceries or pizza anymore. There are so many ways to spice up your marriage that can arrive on your doorstep.

There are even items you already have in your house that can do the job!

Shake off the coronavirus funk and make your time together sexy with these eight tips.

1. Date Nights at Home

Date nights were an exciting way to create a spark. A few cocktails and a fancy dinner while dressed in your sexiest dress and your best suit was an easy stand-by to add some flavor. By the time you got home, you were ready for action.

If your 2020 is similar to everyone else’s, your sexiest go-to dresses remain in the closet. For guys, your lucky if you find a reason to fix your hair.

Fun ideas to spice up the bedroom are not too hard, and recreating a date night at home is one of the easiest. Transform your dining room into a restaurant with white linen table cloths. Light some candles and set the low light mood.

Tell your partner to dress up and meet you in the kitchen to start with your favorite cocktails. If you’re not a cook, order take-out or delivery from a restaurant where you had one of your earliest dates.

When you do this, you’ll remember that you both are sexual beings. You’ll recall the thrill of attraction and forget your weekdays as forced office mates who spend their lives in virtual meetings.

2. Make a Sexy Schedule

With our lives so focused on the home right now, it’s easy to fall into a pattern where you forget about sex. Somehow, there’s always more work to do when you work from home.

Our lives now take place in the digital realm. Our virtual calendars and planning apps are full of meetings, reminders, and grocery lists. Why not add sex to the agenda?

If you share a calendar, schedule a sex time without your partner knowing and describe what will be on the agenda. Better yet, send a private invite for a bedroom romp as you would a party or meeting invitation.

3. Role Play

Working from home doesn’t have to be a grind. There are so many sexy scenarios you can play with to add a spark to your sex life.
