Cherrie_StPierre agony auntThe honeymoon affect is over. After a while, it takes a lot of work to keep the relationship strong and loving. Your relationship may be going through rough times now but it doesn´t mean it has to end. Neither of you want it to. Talking about that was a good start. So now you have to pay more attention to the little things. Changes don't happen overnight, you both have a lot of work to do, and the arguing is where you need to start. I don't know what you two are arguing about but the number one reason why couples argue is because there has been a breakdown in communication. You both have expectations of each other that possibly you both have not lived up to. Talk to each other about this, as well as your values. try to be intimate. Touching, kind words. If you can't say something nice, don't say it! Arguing is a choice. If you want that honeymoon feeling back. First of all, you need to give him space. Not be too clingy, it will only drive him farther away. Then you need to let him see the woman he fell for in the beginning. Remember what you did that really made him unable to resist you and realize that you can do it again.

If all else fails and it still seems as it is going nowhere, tell him that you are thinking of ending it. Sometimes when a man is forced to believe his partner no longer wants or needs him, he instantly changes his attitude towards the relationship in fear of losing you.

aunt honesty agony auntOk well all couples argue from time to time, it is completely normal so dont stress about that. I guess you need to both sit and think about what subjects make you both argue the most and try and solve these issues by talking to each other openly and honestly.

As for being affectionate there are lots of things you can try to get the spark back. Go back to dating and maybe go out for a meal and when you come home light some candles and put on some music and maybe dance or massage each other. Little ideas on things that would be fun and romantic are the key to showing each other more attention.

Goodluck.
