5 Steps For More Intimate Marriage

Feeling a bit disconnected towards your partner? Missing that sense of being each other’s best friend, lover, and confidant? Here are ten tried and tested methods for creating (or recreating) a more intimate marriage.

* Spend your time wisely

Prioritize your time. Recognize that your marriage is important. It is the glue that holds this marvelous package together, allowing you a safe haven from all the stressors of the day. You don’t want to neglect it so put it up there at the top of your list.

* Always be kind and honest

Speaking kindly and honestly to your partner will deepen, the intimacy you have established. Need help finding the appropriate language of kindness? A session or two with a skilled therapist can provide you with the best ways to communicate which incorporate kindness and respect for your partner.

* Sex

It goes without saying that a couple with a rich, enjoyable sex life will inevitably enjoy a rich sense of intimacy, too. So don’t take your sexual activities for granted. It’s easy to put this on the back burner due to exhaustion but, you must make sex a priority in your relationship. If you have to calendar it, so be it. Take the kids to friends or to the grandparents, and indulge yourselves in a long and loving session in bed. Don’t forget the foreplay! Seduce each other during the day by sending hot texts and emails.

* Always have a something to look forward to together

It can be a family vacation or saving money towards a new home. Anything that you both are trying to achieve together, gives you an opportunity to build intimacy as you talk, plan and dream about your mutual vision

* Try something completely different

Stepping outside your comfort zone is great for promoting intimacy. You’ll learn a new skill and develop another layer of closeness as you meet the new challenge together.
