Marriage Advice: Improve Marriage Intimacy
Article by Justine Reeves
Being married means talking about a lot of different things through the course of the day. You might talk over with your wife issues with the kids, other family members, bills or debts or even talk about friends. But oftentimes, one topic is rarely talked about or even brought up: the topic of sex. Healthy sexual intimacy between a couple helps to keep a relaxed feeling in the relationship and a sense of togetherness.
It’s important to keep an open line of communication to ensure a happy and healthy marital relationships. If you can’t talk openly about sex with your wife, this causes negative issues in the relationship, not just in your sex life.
It’s important to take the lead in your marriage by talking to your wife about sex. Whatever you do, don’t critique her or make her feel she doesn’t measure up. This gesture will not work to improve your sex life. Try a dialogue that encourages your wife to speak about the things she would like to experience in your sexual relationship — but be careful as to what you say as it is very easy to say the wrong thing. Reach out to your wife by showing your willingness to dialogue and try new things.
Words can be cheap, so find a way to show her you care. It’s the little things that you do that stay with her — helping out with the kitchen cleanup, giving her quiet time to read that magazine or book she wanted or finding a way to give her time away from the children.
Provide a friendly ear to your wife when she needs it. She’s not asking for advice when she needs to talk — she just wants someone to hear her out. This is her way of working through her problems. And don’t tell her what you think she needs to do — she’s not ready to hear that right now.
