Five Secrets for Increasing Intimacy
By: Jane Saeman
Intimacy is the spark that helps to keep a romantic relationship
alive. However, intimacy can quickly fall to the wayside when careers
and family get in the way and take over. That intimate feeling that used
to spark romance seems to be harder to find once you’ve been married for
a few years.
The
demands of life can get the way and you and your partner can be left
wondering how to increase the intimacy in your relationship.
Intimacy is an important part of a relationship. Intimacy is that
connection between you and your spouse that makes you desire each other
and makes you excited to be with each other. When the intimacy starts to
fade, it could spell trouble for even the best of relationships.
Here are five secrets to helping increase the intimacy in your
relationship:
1. Make a point to
connect on a deep level.
One way to do this is to lie together, each feeling the others heart
beat and synchronising your breathing. This can bring you together on
such a deep, intimate level that it is exhilarating.
2. Make eye contact.
Direct eye contact has been shown to be a very emotional action. It
stirs emotions within a person that are very intense.
Gazing into your lovers’ eyes can really give intimacy a kick.
3. Kiss many times
As a relationship ages, kissing is lost. A kiss is one of the most
intimate actions between a couple. A kiss can signify so much more than
any other thing you can do.
4. Spend time enjoying
each others company.
You do not have to be doing anything else but being together. You do
not even have to talk. Just the simple act of spending time together is
enough.
5. Do small things
that say “I love you”.
It is usually the smallest gestures that say the most. By doing these
small things you won’t even have to say those three little words; your
partner will just know and they will appreciate it, too.
These are five great ways to increase the intimacy in your
relationship. By doing things like this you are not going to focus on
anything sexual, which can often be confused with intimacy. You are
simply going to be focused on increasing the intimacy between you and
building it up to where it once was.
As you build the intimacy in your relationship you will soon start to
see its impact. You may get giddy like you were when you first got
together. You may start to feel like you are going through puppy love
all over again. Best of all you are going to be creating and
strengthening that bond between you that will help to keep your marriage
happy. That is how intimacy works. |
