How couples can regain intimacy

When husband and wife are close to each other, their marriage is destined to be happy and long-lasting. However, in modern society, intimacy has faded from many couples' relationships, and problems such as infidelity, separation and even divorce have followed one after another. Recently, the American website "Yourtango" published an article, asking marriage experts to teach elderly couples how to regain intimacy.

Listen without judging

This will create a safe space for the other person to express their true feelings and thoughts. If you disagree with what the other person says, don't say directly that the other person is wrong, but express it tactfully.

Dare to show weakness

If the couple feels that showing weakness is a sign of cowardice, they will control their true emotions. And "showing weakness" can show your true side to the other person. Open your heart and express your thoughts and feelings without reservation, including those that you cannot bear alone. This way, the bond between the couple will be stronger.

Co-create “rituals”

The so-called "ritual" can be as simple as watching the sunset together every evening, or taking a "day trip" to a new place on the first Saturday of every month.

Seeing each other from a new perspective

The longer two people spend together, the more they are likely to notice the annoying aspects of the other person. Spouses should focus more on each other’s good qualities and strengths. This will increase the closeness of the relationship between the couple because the other party will feel appreciated, respected and cherished.

Persistence in sex

Couples should insist on regular sex. The physical and emotional closeness it brings will make the relationship between couples closer, so they should leave enough time for sex.

Develop a common hobby

Engaging in activities that both couples enjoy together can go a long way in bringing them closer together.
