Get Closer Starting Today
- Forgive each other for something you've held on to. Drop the petty grudges and see how closeness builds.
- Give up a habit your spouse dislikes, or at least cut back, and vice versa. It's a way of showing the other's opinion really matters.
- Get physical. Touching, tasting, smelling and getting into someone's space all help break through emotional barriers.
- Write down memories of your falling in love and read them to each other. Especaially when you hit a rough spot in your marrige, the romantic history you shared can serve as a glue that binds your to each other.
- See each other in a new light. If you've never cheered him on at his bowling league, do it. If he's never seen you sing in your choir, he needs to go.
- Take a daily temperature reading. It sounds basic, but talking every day about what you're feeling and experiencing is vital to intimacy.
- Catch each other doing something right. It's human nature to take notice of things that are not done as we like. It takes bigilance to look for the good and not let it pass unremarked.
- Be playful. Fun and laughter are often the first things to get squeezed out of a marrige. So tell jokes, flirt, tease, play pranks and be goofy.
