6. Start Playing With Your Spouse
Playing is not just for kids. Playing together is a way to strengthen your bond by having fun together, and it helps you see your spouse in an attractive light again. It relieves stress, helps take your mind off responsibilities, and helps you feel happier about your spouse and the time you spend with them. In fact, a psychologist at the Center for Marital and Family studies, Howard Markman, said "The correlation between fun and marital happiness is high, and significant."
Playing can mean playing games together, playing sports together, going out in nature and running around together, using your imagination together, and even playing interactive video games together. Making time for play in your marriage

Start Doing Adrenaline Producing Activities
Make date nights that include activities that turn up the stress, heart rate, and get the body ready for exertion. This can be something as simple as a scary movie or something as terrifying as bungee jumping. Whatever scares the both of you will work.
While you participate in these activities, the hormone adrenaline will be pumped into the body, which is the same hormone that gets released when you are attracted to someone and in the passionate stage in the beginning of your relationship.
When you are with your partner during this time, you will come out of the activity viewing them in a different light than when you went into it. They will seem more likable and attractive, and you will want to hang out with them and enjoy your time together. This will benefit everything else you do to rekindle your marriage, so make sure you do adrenaline producing activities as often as you can.
8. Deal With The Big Issues
Part of why your relationship may need a boost is because you and your spouse have too many big issues sitting on your shoulders that make you look at each other in a heavier

This is a great way to show your spouse that you are thinking about them and give them something that they will appreciate in the process. Flowers are always a nice gesture for women (or a single flower can also have a lot of romantic power behind it). It's important to listen to what your spouse wants and buy things according to what they say. If they mention something they like, then you are guaranteed they are going to love it and the thought that went into it.
10. Look Into Each Other's Eyes More
It's interesting that the more we get to know someone, the less we make eye contact when we talk. But when we meet someone, all we can do is stare into their eyes. The eyes give a lot of information about how someone is feeling, what they are thinking, and what their intentions are, so you can gain a lot of insight by staring into your spouse's eyes.
Eye contact also helps to create a bond between two people. It is a very intimate way of relating, and it is the single most important aspect of people falling in love in many different cultures. Getting lost in their eyes is more than just a

Play is instrumental in the healthy development of children. The development of play throughout an individual life is essential in providing the necessary methods to foster growth and development in critical developmental areas. According to Davies (2011), play is instrumental in providing a bridge for the child to transition from a toddler with a limited capacity to understand the world into a child in the middle years who can think logically. Play is also important in fostering cognitive development, social development, language and communication, moral development, self-regulation, and sense identity.
In The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work there are seven myths and seven real truths about marriage. The first myth is that neuroses or personality problems will ruin a marriage. The truth about that myth is that we all have our crazy buttons or issues we’re not totally rational about, but they don't necessarily interfere with marriage. The key to a happy marriage isn't having a "normal" personality, but finding someone with whom you get along with. The second myth is that common interests keep you together. The truth is that it is a plus to have common interests with someone, but is all depends on how you interact with the other person while pursuing those interests. The third myth is the saying "You scratch my back and .....". The real truth about this myth is that it is only a truly unhappy marriage where this quid pro quo operates, where each partner feels the need to tally up things the other partner did. Married couples should just do things for one another because it feels positive to them and their spouse. If you keep score in marriage it shows there is an area of tension in your marriage.
Play is an important part of emotional-social development. Play can act as a way for children to reveal their innermost feelings and express thought. As defined by the text, play is “voluntary activities done for enjoyment or recreation that are not performed for any sake beyond themselves.” Children move through different levels of play as they mature. One form of play which scientists have become increasingly interested in is imaginative play. With imagination children learn how to be creative. Many children between ages 3-5 create imaginary friends for themselves.
All children play and it is something that most children do because they are having fun, but without realising children are developing and learning skills when they are engaged in play. Play helps stimulate the mind as it is practical and gives children the chance to explore and experience new situations. It can also ensure that children get to think by themselves and be spontaneous as they control their own play. Children get the chance to be creative and imaginative which develops independence for children. Play is vital for child development and helps children develop five main areas of development:
The human perspective of staring, whether it is directly or aversely, is a phenomenon that psychologists have been trying to figure out for decades. Do we notice if someone else is staring at us from a far? What emotions run through our minds if we do feel someone else’s presence among us? Does our behavior change if we figure out someone is staring at us from a distance? The reactions and behaviors of the human mind change with each given circumstance, with each different scenario shedding light on our perceptions. In some cases, there won’t be any change in their behavior. In other cases, a person will behave differently than they normal would, possibly moving faster or even adverting their behavior to reflect or even mask their emotions. This means that a person will consciously change their behavior because of the staring. Numerous variables in which a person is staring, i.e. how far away they are, the intensity of their stare, is directly correlated to how a person will behavior to the staring (Argyle and Dean, 1973). This correlation is seen clearly when the person in the study knows they are being stared at, especially when the person/experimenter is staring directly into their eyes. A person in this situation will more than likely engage in behavior that will gauge how someone else perceives them and then this person will adjust to their other according to that analysis.

A common phrase used about the eyes is that, “the eyes are the window to the soul.” This phrase is not necessarily true; however, it gives a good perspective on how people use eyes to judge a person’s character. First of all, eye contact is a great communication tool and can be used effectively in social situation. Second, a teacher can use eye contact to help their interaction with students. Third, employers want a future employee to have good eye contact to know that the employee is listening and will understand the job they are asked to perform. Eye contact is important and can determine a person’s true thoughts and opinions. The use of eye contact in socializing is important.
Before diving into my research, I reflected on the knowledge I already knew regarding play and play based learning. From experience, I know that play is an enjoyable activity for children, and even some adults. I know that there are different ways one can play. For example, playing with others is known as cooperative play and playing alone is considered solitary play. There are different types of play. For example, there is dress up or pretend games, which is considered dramatic, play and there is playing with building blocks which is constructive play. After my reflection I realized that I was more knowledgeable on the action of playing rather then the benefits of it.
You may looking back at past arguments and trying to figure out what you may have said to trigger your partner's depressive episode. You may begin taking on more household tasks and doing nice things for your spouse every day and become disappointed when your partner's depression continues despite your best efforts at trying to fill their life with happiness. Remember that your partner's depression is not your fault and that even though they appreciate your nice gestures, they have a serious mental illness that no kind gesture can "shake them out" of it. Continue being a supportive spouse, but it is extremely important for the sake of your entire relationship to remember that you did not cause your partner's depression and you also cannot cure
The old saying that "eyes are a reflection of your inner self" holds true in most cases. There are a lot of meanings to eye contact. It can be a glaring look when a person is defiant or angry. A stare when we see something unusual about the person (staring obtrusively is rude!). A glazed over look when we are hopelessly in love with the person. It can also be a direct look when we are talking and trying to make a point.

Although this sounds very sexual, this feeling is just the beginning of what will most likely become a sexual passion. When in this first state of attraction, your body feels different - more bouncy, more energetic, and in need of less food and sleep. When in this state of attraction, one feels very happy and different every time that they are with this person. Frequently, the presence (or sometimes merely thought) of the loved one can evoke specific physiological reactions. These physiological reactions include: erections for the male, wetness for the female, a lump in the throat, sweaty palms, weak knees, cold feet, a pounding heart.
It is understandable that friends, family and a social life exists and that also needs to be taking care of. Exercise reduces stress, improves your sleep and from it allows you to gain a social aspect consider as new friends. If exercised daily or even when there is time during the week it will improve and change your life allowing you to not fall asleep or be tired all the time. It will reduce stress by being distracted on productive activities like playing tennis, going hiking, running at the park or even walking around the neighborhood.

As you pick up the pace, the body, like any engine, produces heat — and needs to cool off. The blood vessels in the skin dilate, increasing blood flow to the skin. The heat then dissipates through the skin into the air.
