Mood killer #1: Hiding unhappiness

You must never keep your unhappiness with the relationship to yourself and suppress it. Psychologists agree that a constructive argument is one of the building blocks of a successful relationship. If you keep evading open verbal altercations, you will become cold and bitter, which will sooner or later kill your passion and your sex life.

Mood killer #2: Words that hurt

No matter how angry your partner made you, do not let words escape, which could hurt him deeply. His personal shortcomings must not be used as a weapon to hit him where it hurts most. You will lose his trust and soon his love as well.

Mood-killer #3: Don't let yourself go

Even though you have been together for many years, you should never take your relationship as self-evident. You have to constantly fight for your partner's affection, which means taking care of your body. Letting yourself go also means not caring about your partner and can kill passion.

Mood killer #4: Lack of trust

If you are very jealous by nature, try to hold back at least a little. Being too jealous and untrusting can destroy any relationship. Constant accusations and looking for reasons to fight even where there are none will quickly extinguish the flame of passion still burning in your relationship.

Mood killer #5: Unattractive habits

Biting nails, loud slurping of soup or throwing socks around the flat are only some of the unattractive habits, which can eventually drive a partner mad. Even though you find these insignificant, they are one of the biggest enemies of passion. Change them, while you still have time.
