The relationship vacuum

Why is it that when we get into a relationship, take out and television settle in like a comfortable old pair of underwear? We've probably all been on both sides of this equation - equally guilty of wearing nothing but sweatpants at home with the honey, or we're single and annoyed that it takes more than a stick of dynamite to get our "married" friends out to anything fun. Should we be doing something about this seemingly universal phenomenon?

Well, maybe not, but I'm sure we've all been fresh out of a break up and realize, shit,  I don't have anybody to do anything with. I don't have a shoulder to mope on. Likely, what led to the break up in the first place is the old saggy underwear and night after night of Breaking Bad, House of Cards or what have you, Lol;) So, maybe we could think about committing equally to a full life of our own and continue bringing home interesting conversation and a passion for something other than our loved one. I think we actually know that it can be a tremendous amount of pressure on our partner and on the relationship if we're looking to be completely fulfilled within this union, but we get "comfortable" (which may end up being code for bored sexually and otherwise). How do we keep the excitement and freshness alive if we're not bringing new energy to the table? Do we have hobbies, are we learning any new and improved communication or relationship skills? Heck, even companies force us into development type courses, so maybe there's something there? Just sayin':)
