Fact: Making love to the same person year after year can get borrrrrring. And sorry, the smart answer isn’t hitting up websites that cater to serial cheaters. You have to do the work. According to studies, physical touch such as kissing and caressing are great indicators of a happy, fulfilled marriage or committed relationship.

Looking to keep those rainy days coming? Love gurus say this feat is best accomplished when you put your relationship first.

“Couples often get too busy handling the day-to-day execution of their ‘happily ever after’ to fully enjoy it,” explains Tyomi Morgan, a sexpert and relationship coach. “I encourage them to carve out regular time to devote to their sex lives. No kids. No work. No distractions.”
