As your relationship progresses and time goes on it is so easy to let intimacy slip, but intimacy is vital for maintaining a long lasting and satisfying relationship. Just how do we lose the intimacy in our relationship and how can we gain more intimacy in our relationships? Is it a few years on in your relationship and you have young children, a mortgage, work pressures and no time? Do you feel like there is no intimacy in your relationship? How will change this and are you really looking for more intimacy in your life? Are you further down the track in your relationship and the kids have left home and you find yourself and your partner have completely lost the intimacy between you? You can regain the intimacy in your relationship if you really want it, but it will require work and commitment for both parties. Deciding firstly that you need to set aside time for intimacy is the first step. Then organising that time together and understanding that intimacy isnt just about sex. Sure sex plays an important part in it, but it is more about connecting again as a couple, remembering and reminiscing on why you got together in the first place. It’s about touching and holding and ultimately sex forms an important part of regaining that intimacy.
