S.P.I.C.E It Up

Information gathered from a relationship coach, Spicy Mari.

Below is a 5 step process geared toward spicing up your relationship and building intimacy with your partner.

Self

The self is the blueprint for any relationship. Understanding yourself as an individual and your partner as their own individual is the first step before successfully accomplishing anything else. Take note of where masculine and feminine energy is present within the relationship dynamic. Is there a balance between the two energies with you and your partner? Consider spirituality. Your zodiac signs? Are you and your partner right brain driven or left brain driven? All of these things affect the connection between you and your partner.

Passion

A way to create passion is space. Taking the time to withhold something creates desire. Understanding intimacy and connecting with your partner on different levels also creates passion. There are 6 levels of intimacy:

Intimacy

Share. Inquire. Respond.

Share with your partner. Inquire with your partner. Respond to your partner.

Communication

Check in with your partner day to day, week to week, or however you best see fit. Be clear about your expectations. Do not drift from set expectations. Be verbal about any concerns. Communicate in a healthy way that is beneficial to your relationship.

Yes

Learn to say yes. It is okay to simply say “yes” to your partner. Pick and choose when to agree or disagree.
