Marriage and Sex: Tip Number 3

Talk together about what you like about the marriage. Be the first to begin. Make it fun and without pressure.

Creating an environment between you that is positive and loving has the greatest possibility for increasing intimacy. Spouses want to be closer, both emotionally and physically, to those that they like and enjoy.

Focusing more on what is good about your partner and your marriage, rather than the negatives and struggle, are much healthier and much more likely to lead to the results that you want.

Marriage and Sex

We often hear couples complain about their sex lives. Wives are generally less interested in intimacy inside the bed and more interested in intimacy outside of the bedroom. Men often say that they feel more connected, and so, more intimate, if there is intimacy inside the bedroom.

Struggles then subtly erode into long-term stand-offs with both feeling hurt, disappointed, unloved and misunderstood.
