How To Deepen Your Love

Deepen Your Love Through Surprises and Excitement ???

Do you have exciting plans with your spouse or partner tonight?

If not, let me share why creating thrilling, unexpected moments together can deepen your bond and keep your love feeling fresh.

Research shows that shared exciting and even slightly fear-inducing experiences strengthen relationships.

Activities like riding a roller coaster, exploring a new place, or trying something for the first time release adrenaline and dopamine—the same chemicals that make us feel infatuated early in love.

My First Love: A Story of Connection Through Adventure

Let me take you back to the summer when I first fell in love. I was 21, not even a month after my college graduation.

It was completely unexpected—one of those moments where life surprises you in the most magical way.

After a night of dancing at a local club called The Cove with my best friend, we weren’t ready to go home.

As the strip closed down, we wandered to my car—a beat-up old thing that required pillows and blankets for me to see out of the windshield.

That’s when he appeared.

A tall young man in bright yellow pants and suspenders came out of nowhere.

He said he couldn’t find his brothers and asked if we could drive him into town to get pizza.

I told him I wasn’t good with directions and only knew my way home. But somehow, he ended up in the backseat of my car anyway.

When I pulled into my driveway, his brothers suddenly appeared behind us, scolding him to leave the “young girls” alone. I laughed—I was 21, and he had just turned 22.

The next day, he showed up at my backyard on his motorcycle, asking me out.

Back then, there were no cell phones or texts to orchestrate these moments. It felt spontaneous and bold.

Adventures That Bonded Us

On our first date, he took me to a seafood restaurant I’d never been to. He ordered crab legs and cracked them for me because I didn’t know how to eat them. I still remember how special and cared for I felt.

Our second date was even more adventurous—he took me to a water park. I'd never been to a water park before either.

I climbed to the top of a towering water slide, shaking with fear but determined to go through with it.

The rush of adrenaline as I sped down the slide—and the mortifying moment when the top of my swimsuit came off in the water—made for a memory I’ll never forget.

He also convinced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle, something I swore I’d never do.

But when I finally agreed, it felt exhilarating to wrap my arms around him, close my eyes, and let the wind rush past us. The combination of fear and excitement brought us closer in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Over time, we shared so many firsts. His spontaneity and ability to create thrilling, unforgettable moments made me fall deeply in love with him.

The Lessons Love Teaches Us

Though we were engaged within a year, our relationship didn’t last. A non-negotiable led me to end the engagement about two years later, and it broke my heart.

I had nightmares for weeks, and I missed him dearly.

He tried to get me to return to him, but the betrayal was too much. I could never feel safe and held by him again.

But even though it didn’t work out, I cherish the adventures, the lessons, and the love we shared.

Every relationship—no matter how long it lasts—teaches us something valuable about love, ourselves, and what we truly need.

Healing and reflecting between relationships is essential to building an even better love story with someone new.

Why Excitement Deepens Love

Exciting and novel experiences activate the brain’s reward system, creating feelings of joy and connection. Sharing these emotions strengthens emotional bonds and keeps relationships vibrant and alive.

Ideas to Strengthen Your Connection Through Adventure

• Plan a surprise date to a new restaurant or activity neither of you has tried.
• Try something thrilling, like ziplining, hiking, or riding a roller coaster.
• Take a spontaneous trip to explore a new town or destination.
• Learn something new together, like cooking or dancing.

Men: Keep Planning Dates

Men, here’s a tip: Planning exciting dates shows care and effort, whether you’re dating or married. Women feel cherished when you take the lead in creating meaningful, adventurous moments. Keep surprising her—it’s one of the best ways to nurture a lasting and sizzling romantic connection.

The Importance of Healing

While exciting dates can deepen love, it’s equally important to take time for healing and reflection between relationships.

After my engagement ended, I learned to honor my values, clarify my needs, and integrate the lessons I’d learned.

Healing prepares you for the love story you truly deserve.

Our souls are here to learn about love—not to be perfect.
