In the beginning, the excitement of a new partner is enough to keep you alight. You\u2019re drawn to each other, the passion and enthusiasm are there, and you move in coordinated quick steps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">But as the relationship deepens, and you get more serious, that can change. Perhaps children come along. Maybe you get mired in your respective careers and barely surface for time together, thinking the relationship will be there when you can get to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Time passes, years pass, and then the kids are grown or you\u2019re ready to retire and you realize you have not surfaced to look at your spouse for, perhaps, years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/03\/I-love-you-so-much-000049579116_Medium.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2099\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/03\/I-love-you-so-much-000049579116_Medium-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"I love you so much! Low angle view of senior man kissing his cheerful wife while being covered with plaid\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>Uh oh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Marriage is a long and winding trail. The excitement waxes and wanes. That\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">But if you forget what initially brought you together, you risk the danger of breaking up \u2013 if you don\u2019t reclaim that connection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">That\u2019s where dance comes in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Dance is a way to find an activity you can do together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Not every couple will share the same passions. Not everyone wants to play golf or tennis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/03\/Couple-hugging-and-holding-hands-while-looks-an-engagement-ring-000077020347_Medium.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/03\/Couple-hugging-and-holding-hands-while-looks-an-engagement-ring-000077020347_Medium-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Couple hugging and holding hands while looks an engagement ring\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>With dancing, you are in each other&#8217;s arms, moving around the dance floor, enjoying time together. You have to learn to work together in dancing, just like the marriage, give and take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">And hopefully, you reconnect, reignite the passion, rekindle the romance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">After all, dance forces you to touch, to look each other in the eye, to smile. Your adrenaline flows, your energy pulses, and before you know it, you\u2019re back where you started.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Happy together. In the dance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know ballroom dance lessons could be the key to rekindling your marriage? Think of your marriage as a dance.
