Intimacy is all about enhancing the sexual closeness between you and your partner, but there is a lot more to it than just sex. Intimacy includes a range of things such as handholding, kissing, as well as all day love making. Enjoying an intimate sexual relationship is extremely important for married couples. This also includes verbal intimacy and affection, without which the relationship may get strained over time. This is true in normal day to day life, however the current state of the world is not normal, and so it is even more important to keep your intimacy levels up in your relationships right now.

Make it a priority

Many couples fall into the rut of thinking sex will just happen when it happens or waiting for their partner to initiate physical acts. This can lead to you both feeling disconnected. You need to make it a priority to take the time out for intimacy and nourish your sexual desires. Also, communicate your sexual preferences to your partner so you both can feel comfortable to experiment and try out new things together.

Be Creative

Sure, the world may be shut down right now leaving very few options for romantic nights out, but that does not mean that you can’t create romance in your lives. Get comfy in the living room or light aroma candles in the bedroom or celebrate your marriage with a bottle of champagne and chocolates. Think of ways that you know for sure will excite you and your partner! If things ever become stale in your marriage, then spend some extra time going above and beyond to breathe some life back into things.

Stay Connected

If you or your partner happened to have been forced to stay apart during the lockdowns, then make sure to stay as connected as you can while apart. Try your hand at sexting, we give tips on it every Monday. Do video calls at bedtime. Make sure to make time to find ways to be alone together even if it is just electronically for now.

Remember that a boring sex life does not equal a broken sex life, it could just need a minor tune up.
