Sex and Marriage
By: Terje Ellingsen
Sex and marriage go together. When couples first start dating, cuddling is usually a part of their everyday existence. However, as the relationship progresses or after children enter the picture, the cuddling stops. Take some time just to cuddle. If your mate is sitting on the couch watching a movie, or laying in bed reading, scoot close and say that you just want to cuddle. This makes both people feel secure and loved.
Intimacy, passion love and romance in relationships are not only important but also healthy. Couples need to enjoy being together in an intimate way. When relationships are troubled, the last thing wanted is to be sexual or passionate with the other. However, this is a part of the healing and rebuilding of the relationship and although it might be awkward in the beginning, it is crucial. Make your intimate time together special. Surprise your mate with a warm bubble bath, lit candles, soft music, and a bottle of wine, or arrange a nice romantic evening at a nice hotel with a wonderful candlelight dinner, fine wine, and flowers waiting in a beautiful, cozy room. Intimacy is a huge part of a successful relationship. Choose a book from the bookstore or go to the internet and load down a couple of online e-books and try to bring a little excitement into your relationship. Do not be afraid to experiment and learn new and exciting ways to please each other. Keeping intimacy alive is healthy and not a bad thing whatsoever!
As couples become comfortable with each other, kisses can become lame. Get rid of the pecks and get serious with the kisses. The next time the two of you greet each other, enjoy your kiss and do not be so quick to stop. While there are appropriate times for serious kissing, they should be loving, sincere, and passionate regardless of how long they last. You will find that as you pay attention to your kissing and let your mate know that you enjoy kissing them, you will both feel better about your relationship.
