But now the humdrum of life has reared its boring, same ol’, same ol’ head.
It happens to the best of us.
Communication shifts from “What do you want out of life?” to “What’s for dinner?” … “I want you so badly” becomes “Can you pick up Tommy from soccer practice?” And “I love you” becomes “I’ll be home late tonight.” Passion is replaced by errands. Intimacy is replaced by catching up on work on your laptop … in bed.
Before you know it, you are living separate lives.
According to K-Y lubricant, study after study shows that being connected to someone — trust, honesty, and the ability to reveal private thoughts and feelings — reduces stress and feelings of loneliness. And intimacy can even lessen the adverse effects of certain psychological and medical conditions.
Bottom line: Monotony not only equals divorce, but a lack of mental and physical intimacy is actually bad for your health!
And it’s the combination of mind and body that makes intimacy work for couples. It’s the power of seduction, of true mental connection, and of physical touch.
Rebuilding intimacy and connection won’t happen by itself. It takes effort … and there’s no better place to start than the bedroom.
Creating a connected and intimate bedtime routine can help you (both of you) get back to a place of connection, intimacy, and (dare I say it?) … FUN. (Umm … yeah …. Love, sex, and intimacy are supposed to be fun, remember?)
Here are 6 changes you can make tonight in order to bring back that sexy, intimate, and wholly necessary connection you used to have together:
1. Go to bed at the same time.
When our bedtime schedules don’t match, it’s often a matter of choice—like when someone stays up late to watch TV or work, while the other disappears into the dark recesses of the house.
Building a sense of connection requires being in the same place at the same time (ermm… duh). So make the choice to head to the bed together, maybe even hold hands as you go. Do this every single night, without fail. After all, retiring to the bedroom together means you’ll hit the sheets together.
And while you curl up…
