We have seen great individuals who had the capacity to become amazing couples, but they failed after a few years of marriage. In marriage, it is not only how you start that keeps you both happy, but what you keep doing. Your daily habits are very critical, they determine if your marriage will make it through different challenges, survive in the valley and rise to the mountain top of intimacy.
One of the things we do daily is to laugh. We use our sense of humour to crack up each other. Sometimes, it may be while we shower, eat or walk together. Other times, we mark hilarious videos on YouTube or Facebook to watch together :-). This has a way of helping us look forward to seeing each other. Naturally, people (including your spouse) go where they are celebrated; where people enjoy their company and laugh at their jokes.
You can improve your marital intimacy by building pleasant memories when you are together. Before you and your spouse become intimate, you both must be committed to doing things that will bring you both into the same EMOTIONAL space, not just physical space.
There are couples who live under the same roof, but they live ‘separate’ lives. One or both of them either stonewalls or completely withdraws into his/her own tunnel.
It does not matter what your marriage has been through, you can still have a romantic and intimate marriage!
