As you likely know, it becomes harder and harder to keep the flame alive when so much of your day is filled with work and caring for the kids. According to studies, about 20% of marriages are sexless, while 25% of couples don't have sex more than weekly.

With a little bit of honesty, work and intention, this never has to be your relationship. To be sure that you're able to keep the spark alive among the two of you, take advantage of these tips below.

1. Set A Few Ground Rules To Bring Touch Back

Sometimes to get the romance back, you have to be a bit unromantic. This means breaking the ice on any separation, discomfort and anxiety with a few deliberate rules about bringing touch back.

Think back to when you first met -- you probably couldn't keep your hands off of each other. Fast forward a few years as you've gotten bogged down with responsibility and stress, and it's unlikely that you exchange more than a few tight pecks on the lips or cheek unless you've made a conscious effort to keep romance alive.

Some of the things you can do include making sure that you cuddle on the couch or in bed, with zero distractions, for at least 20 minutes every single day. Seriously, set a timer for 20 minutes and from there, you can go about the rest of your day if you need to.

By being this deliberate about it, you take the "I don't have time" excuse off the table. Avoid watching television during this time, and instead, use it as a time to truly shut out the world and connect. If you'd like, you can throw some soft music on the speakers and burn an incense stick or a candle to set the mood.

2. Work On Yourself

You'll get out of your relationship when you work to get the most out of yourself. Your sexuality and ability to love only goes as far as the depth of which you know yourself inside and out.

Get in touch with your feelings rather than pushing them down or trying to get away from them. Meditation is a great way to quiet your mind everyday and get in touch with your inner self.

Going for a jog each morning or lifting some weights is a great way to cut out stress and do something positive for yourself. The more that you get in touch with yourself, the more deeply you can show up for each other in your relationship.

3. Start Studying Some Ancient Arts

There's nothing that you can think, do or feel that humans haven't gone through before. To truly get a foundation on romance and sexuality, look no further than ancient arts.

For instance, there is a lot of value you can extract from the Kama Sutra and Taoist sex practices. This will help you to cultivate a deeper and more holistic view on sexuality, which will benefit your relationship and your entire life.

Consider these three tips so that you can get the most out of your relationship.
