This in itself can lead to serious sexual problems like refraining from any intimacy, and even divorce.

What can the couple do to keep the spark alive (especially as they age together) is the subject of this article.

Try and follow our advice and you can spice up your sex life, and even save your marriage or relationship.

The Roots of Sexual Boredom

The old maxim that familiarity breeds contempt is as true today as it was thousands of years ago when the first thinker coined the saying.

Even if a couple loves each other very much, the same old sex done again and again loses its magic. Another culprit causing sexual boredom is for one of the parties to have lost their interest.

It could be one (or both) of the parties is having an affair elsewhere. This will do more than familiarity to cause the original couple to be bored with their sex life.

Re-igniting the Spark

Before trying to correct the boredom, the couple must try to remember what it was like then sex together was new and exciting. Recalling this memory will be the first step in re-building the magic and interest that the couple had in the first place.

Analyzing the Problem

Being bitterly honest with yourself (and if you discuss this issue) together, you must take a good look at your current sexual conduct, and determine how much variety there is, how much standard fare, and create a wish list of things you would like to happen.

This will clear the vision of what is wrong and what needs to be right.

Its not just sexual activity either.

One or both of the partners may have neglected their body (grained weight, lost their shape, let the affects of age take their toll without any response, and these kinds of factors. Record them all for future viewing and discussion.

Fix What Can Be Fixed

The next step is for each partner to fix what can be fixed.

If you are overweight and out of shape, go on a diet and start the gym in earnest. If you have sexual hang-ups that need attention, see a counselor.

If your libido has disappeared, see a doctor. You may have a physical reason for this. Loss of libido at any age, even over 60 is a sign something is not working well.

Getting Into Sex

You must not be afraid to speak to your partner.

You can say during a quiet and romantic diner that your sex life has lost its spark (be very careful how you phrase this, as one partner may not feel like this!!!).

Discuss what you would like changed and plan yourself to introduce new activity.
