Introducing intimacy into your relationship

alt="Sex in relationships" title="Introducing sex into relationships"
Every relationship that is built to last needs to have intimacy because it does help to strengthen the bond you and your partner have. It is one of the best ways to let your partner know that you love them and to let them know that you still find them attractive no matter what. Intimacy brings partners together in a different way and it makes them feel deeply connected to them. How can you bring intimacy into your relationship? Here are some great tips that will help you to have intimacy in your relationship:

1. Communication. One of the best ways to have intimacy in a relationship is through communication. How do you talk to each other and do you communicate you love for each other? How many times to do spend up all night talking to one another and sharing your love for one another? As you work on communicating effectively in your relationship, it will bring about a stronger intimate connection with your spouse or partner. Communication also helps you and your partner to know more about one another to the point that you can both anticipate what you both need and want. Communication helps to keep the lines of love open and you won't have as much confusion and frustration in the relationship. Don't attack your partner when you are confused or when you attempt to understand their needs. You need to simply ask them and to have quality communication together that allows you both to know what you want.

2. Intimacy through emotions. When you aren't able to be together physically, intimacy can still occur through your actions. How often do you tell your spouse or loved one that you care for them? Are you sending them love notes, emails, text messages, and just simple reminders of your love and compassion for them? You need to make sure your spouse knows that you are thinking of them even when you aren't near them. This is a wonderful way to strengthen your relationship and to keep the intimacy alive. When you are communicating to one another when you aren't physically together, it makes the feelings of love and desire you have for one another much stronger.

3. Make time for each other. Don't let stress, work, children, and everything else in your life push your spouse to the side. A relationship needs time and devotion to make it stronger and to bring the two of you closer together. Plan to have a date night at least once a week or once a month. Do what you can to make time for your spouse and let them know that you are making time for them and that they are an important part of your life.

4. Be romantic. Intimacy also comes down to bringing the romance back into your passion relationship. Look for ways to show your spouse that you are in love with them. Plan a night to surprise them with a candlelight dinner follow up by dancing or a romantic movie. A bubble bath for two is also romantic and it's a great way to reassure your partner that you are physically attracted to them. Intimacy is a large spectrum of emotions so you also need to remember to put your arm around them, hold their hand, and to do other things that show them how much you care for them and love them.

5. Be consistent. To show your partner intimacy, be consistently there for them and be a symbol of strength in their life. They need to know that they can rely and depend upon you. By always being there for them, you will take away a lot of fears that they might have about being in a relationship.
