5 tips to put the fireworks back in your relationship
Published in Blog by TR on 14 October 2025
As the nights draw in and fireworks light up the skies, this month’s blog offers some advice to help rekindle your relationship. Just like a good fire, your relationship needs constant attention and our TR Couple Therapists offer some tips to put the spark back in your partnership.
1. Take a twilight walk together
Wrap up warm and take an evening stroll under the crisp autumn sky. Movement and conversation flow naturally together, and sharing the chill of the season brings you physically and emotionally closer.
2. Feel the warmth of touch
Holding hands, an arm around your shoulders, or a gentle brush of the hand - these small gestures can reignite warmth between you. Touch is the flame that keeps intimacy alive.
3. See your partner in a new light
Going to a Bonfire Night or Diwali party? Take a moment to watch your partner from across the glow of the fire and notice their smile, their laugh and the things that drew you to them in the first place. Appreciating your partner with fresh eyes can reignite attraction.
4. Redefine what intimacy means
Intimacy isn’t just a single flash of passion - it’s the steady burn of emotional closeness. Try new ways of connecting: meaningful conversation, shared laughter, quiet comfort. Explore each other’s minds as much as your bodies, and you might find your own lasting glow.
5. Be in the moment
Give your partner your full attention - listen, laugh, and share the moment together. Your relationship is the brightest spark in your life; nurture it like the main event of the night. Put your phone away and be present for your partner.
