Sexual Intimacy in Marriage Page 4

  Marriage is a continuous process, so we need to try to be better at it every day. It is not enough with the “I do” you said a while ago; it is not enough with living together, having children or signing papers. In order to have a strong relationship, you need to continue to create positive experiences and a healthy environment. You need to keep working on your relationship, making each other feel good, important, desired, etc. There are so many ways to make your relationship stay alive and make each other feel special: a kiss, a touch, saying something nice, writing down a poem or message, doing something special for one another; those are things that are so easy to do and can be done often. Not everything has to be very elaborate and cost money. In fact, sometimes the smallest things can be the most meaningful. So, there are no excuses; no matter what gets in the way, there is always something we can do.

  In order to strengthen our marriage, we need balance; a balance in our sexual, romantic and physical connection. All of these things are important and they are connected one way or the other. So, if one is being affected, the others can eventually struggle as well. Don’t believe that as time passes, we don’t need to keep trying to please our partners; our needs will always remain the same. So instead of forgetting about these 3 aspects, we need to often nourish them. For couples who have a healthy relationship, it doesn’t matter how long they have been together, they still enjoy each other’s company and every day still feel like an adventure. If this is what you want to achieve, you need to leave all the bad things behind and enjoy your spouse. Make every day count. Make all the good things that happen in your relationship the reason to keep going, while you make the bad ones an experience, and a story of separation. Make every day feel like the day you found out you were in love with that person.

  Always look for different ways to help you and your partner work on your relationship.
