Relationships can be hard to maintain sometimes, especially when the feelings that connect you and the excitement begins to fade. Intimacy issues may be associated with the disconnection between couples as the physical contact becomes less.
Touch is a fundamental part of the human system. Studies have constantly shown the importance of regular loving touch and holding on self esteem and ties. Affectionate touch can actually boost the body’s levels of oxytocin, a happy hormone that influences bonds and attachment. Indeed, a life without physical contact can be very lonely.
So, to keep your intimacy stable and be more alive, here are some tips worth noting:
1. Embrace shared interests.
In a relationship, you need to maximize all resources necessary to keep it going. Know your partner’s interests. You don’t have to become an expert, but just a little bit knowledgeable. It feels really good to know that your partner is also taking an extra step to live in with you in another world you only had for yourself.
2. Be sensitive to what your partner needs/wants.
It takes two to tango. You need to keep up with what your partner needs or wants in order to respond well and give exactly what they want. It adds to their sense of belongingness.
3. Create event schedules as a couple.
It helps when as a couple, you have oriented yourselves to schedules only the two of you are involved. You become more mindful, not by memorizing dates and times, but also of the others feelings. It also improves your attachment to each other.
4. Invest time.
Of all that needs to be given, time is the most precious. Invest more time for you and your sweetheart. This will enable you to catch up and talk about the stuffs you’ve missed about each other. Not to mention it feels great to have someone willing to spend extra times with you.
5. Offer gifts/favors.
Giving is loving. But isn’t it sweet to know that someone offers you a favor even without you asking for it. It gives that feeling of importance and being really special.
6. Show off, actions speak louder than words.
