Is your marriage cold? You and your partner no longer have patience with each other? It's common for a relationship to cool down a bit over time, due to commitments, day-to-day tasks with the house and children, stress, etc. But when you realize that it's damaging your married life, you need to see what's really going on and react before the relationship is affected.

Here are 10 tips that will help you surprise your partner and transform your marriage.

• Surprise date: Surprise your spouse with a dinner for two, either at home when you're alone or out for dinner.
• Declaration of love: Always try to declare your love with words and gestures, such as thanking your spouse for everything they've done for you, how happy you are with them, etc.
• Step out of your comfort zone: Do something he doesn't expect, like agreeing to do something you've always refused to do, either because you didn't like it or because you felt unwell, and now you want to do it with him. This gesture will do the couple a lot of good, as he'll admire you much more, sometimes giving in is necessary.
• Surprise gift: For no particular reason, give him or her a treat that could be material or a trip for two to a place that is memorable for both of you.
• Help him do something: Sometimes something in the house needs fixing, so help him do it, it'll be fun for both of you and you'll be closer for longer.
• Learn something he likes: It could be a dance he enjoys, a food he likes or a hobby he enjoys.
• Breakfast in bed: A good breakfast served in bed is sure to make his day a more productive and happier one, because this affection is a declaration of love.
• Pay tribute to him: Without him realizing it, pay tribute to him with a love letter or a romantic song.
• Surprise him intimately: Spicing up the sensual side of the couple a little more, being attractive and desired by him in this way will always keep the passion between the two of you burning.
• Always admire him: Make him realize how much you love, respect and admire him and that you are very happy with him.
