Read on to learn our top marriage tips.

1. Schedule Time to Spend With Each Other

It is easy to forget how fun it was to court and date in the beginning. This is why you want to carve out time and put it in your calendar to go out and spend time together. Try activities you both enjoy and new activities to help you bond more. 

It’s ok to also flirt with each other during these dates to help ignite your intimacy and sex life.

2. Physical Intimacy

Being intentional about dating each other again will help lead to being more intimate physically. We recommend taking it a step further by sharing your fantasies and wishes with your partner no matter how embarrassing you might think your fantasies are. You can also experiment with female or male sexual pleasure products to bring new pleasure to each other. 

Sex is an opportunity to get to know your partner better and create longer lasting bonds. Also, make sure you switch it up from intimate and loving sex to more erotic and intense sex.

3. Be Romantic

You can both take the time to be more thoughtful and romantic with each other. Make sure you include romantic gestures such as cuddling, holding hands, kissing, and hugging in the equation. 

Small acts of kindness such as sticky love notes or thoughtful text messages throughout the day will go a long way. Keep in mind that being romantic doesn’t always involve buying each other something, but it is more the act of being thoughtful. 

4. Exercise Together

When you take the time to exercise together it will boost sexual satisfaction between both partners. 30 minutes per day will give you more time bonding together and it will also help you tease each other. These exercise routines will lead to more fun in the bedroom when you are behind closed doors together.  

5. Communicate

Having an open and honest communication line with your marriage will help bind your relationship. If you don’t have an open line of communication you will eventually have resentment against each other and will feel trapped. This will lead to having less intimate interactions with other and less bonding.
