For many months now I have wandered into the walls of Passions. In this time I have read many poems, and found such talent and beauty in the words that graced my screen that many times I have been left speechless. Although I have never posted, and the ink in my pen is dry this wonderful world of poetry and kindered spirits has brought joy and laughter to my life.

I have enjoyed coming here and reading poetry over my cup of coffee every morning for almost a year, and leaving with a smile on my face.

Now onward with my question...

I have been married for 4 years and have known him for 8, I was very young when i met him, 17 years old. He seem to completly ignore me, and when I ask him why he says he is tired and wants to be left alone for awhile. My question is How do you put the spice back in a marriage and life.?

Thank you for your time and your endless hours of laughter, love and tears I had the honor of reading.

Hi Horizon! I'm sorry, but I'm running a little late and don't have any words of wisdom for your specific question, but wanted to officially say ... Welcome to Passions!

I too was a reader long before I specifically joined by posting in the forums. Thanks for be an avid reader, even if in the shadows! Please feel free to respond to the wonderful poetry here directly ... and enjoy your time here!

Best wishes,
/Kit

Hello Horizon! Welcome to the family.

Is there something the two of you used to do together that you both enjoyed? Camping? Hiking? Going to a Bed and Breakfast for the weekend? Why not 'relive' a moment from your early years (even if it means going to a drive in movie and making out in the back seat!). Hope this gets the wheels turning.

Good luck!

Hello Horizon...

I love your choice of names, btw.. Might I suggest that if you haven't registered with us, that you feel free to do so - We welcome comments from non-writers, and truly appreciate that we have "official readers" among us - Do feel free to join the melee...

As for your question - You seem to have fallen into the same chasm that nearly every relationship in existence does at about the same 7-9 year interim... The good news is that the love is likely intact - It's just that you both need a little "zing" back in your relationship... It's time to "shake things up"... Do something totally unexpected - Plan a clandestine weekend away - Somewhere special - Do something new and unanticipated - Take a trip to "Victoria's Secret" and buy the store out... SURPRISE HIM... and have fun doing it..

Thank you Poet DeVine for the lovely welcome and your suggestions I will take you up on,I can't remember the last time I have been to a drive in, I think he may enjoy that.

Nan,
Thank you and yes I am now a wondeful member of Passions, and I must say I am very excited. You are right a vacation is in order!

However, the last time I wore something like a teddy he said. "Your gonna catch your death" hhaha. but maybe the second time is a charm. Thank you so much for your help and the beautiful welcomes.

Horizon Welcome! You brought a smile to my face this morning! I'm glad you joined us!

I hope whatever you decide to do will give you both the zing you're looking for.

Maybe even a romantic, candle lit dinner one night. Something you will both enjoy together.

Good luck!!
