1. Discover a causeJust like you think about your staff members like what are the positive traits and talent in your staff member which attracted you to hire them. Similarly, to discover a cause is must to keep the passion alive in a relationship. To discover a cause you should think of some questions like what was the first thing that attracted you about them.

3. Stay connected by praise and appreciationJust like you give your staff member augmentation for a job well done, your partner possibly react same when appreciated by you. Conventionally make your partner realize that how much you love them, what you love about them and what they bring to your life. And regardless of whether you deliver the praise via e-mail, hidden love note, text message or spoken words, a little bit goes a long way. A better way to say 'Thank You' or 'I love you' is just random hugs or kiss or intimate touch. This will make your partner feel that the passion in your love is still alive. When you have to go out of station for some official work then take your partner with you, it will make her feel good.

4. Unhook and be available in the hourA successful entrepreneur or the one who is in the race of achieving success is always busy with his mobile phone, or laptop, he wakes up with his phone, go to bed with his phone or laptop. He text, email, surf the internet, make post to social media, and check voicemails or always making deals no matter where he is and what time of day it is. They never turn your devices off. You’re possibly thinking that this is the foremost way to achieve success, yes you are right at some point but at what cost? You are missing your most precious moment you can never get back just by being busy with your phone, laptop, e-mails, or voicemails and this becomes barrier between your love life. So when you are with your partner then do your absolute best to unplug, shut your phone and laptop off for some time and talk to your partner. Give her full attention and speak about her life that what is going in her life and heart.
5. Make use of calendar for themMostly entrepreneurs calendar are full of business related events and that effects their relationship. If you are doing the same then believe me there is no doubt that your relationship is suffering. To bring back passion in your relationship then make sure 20-30 % of your weekly calendar should be about your partner’s life. For instance, putting important dates, important conversation you need to have, dedicated time for reminders that your partner is getting their hair cut (so you can comment on it), by intentionally carving out time in your calendar and making them a priority your relationship will flourish.
