6. Give Him a Sensory Flashback
Think about when you first fell for your guy. What reminds you both of that time (aside from the conniption fit you had every time the phone rang)? Figure it out and you’ve found the secret to conjuring up that new-love rush. “When he experiences something that he associates with falling in love with you, those intense, sensual memories trigger a positive physical reaction and generate instant longing,” says Bernstein.
Case in point: “The smell of sunscreen and chlorine makes me crave my wife,” says Peter, 28. “It takes me back to when we were in high school and she worked summers as a lifeguard at a pool. Smelling that scent gives me the jolt all over again.” To get your guy in the moment, revive an old brand of perfume, visit a favorite place from your shared past or reinstate an early dating ritual. Oftentimes, you won’t even need to say anything, according to Bernstein. These sensory connections are so strong that he’ll be transported back instantly.
