Physical intimacy in a marriage has been known to be one of the most powerful means of strengthening the bond between husband and wife. Aside from this, it has different ways of benefiting their health and self-esteem.
Some people are usually shy about discussing this topic at home with their spouse, even when they can freely discuss other related issues.
Some can’t even identify it when their partner is in the mood because they don’t have the idea of communicating their feelings.
However, it will do your marriage well if you can tell your spouse romantically when you want them to leave the living room and come over to the bedroom.
He might be busy watching the news on TV or reading a newspaper, and the wife does not want to disturb him or doesn’t know how to tell him.
She might be busy pressing her phone to check the trending celebrity issues on Instagram while her husband doesn’t know how to tell her that he needs her.
Sometimes, when you are lost in the shuffle and your partner is not even looking at your feelings because they are preoccupied with other things, you can do the following things to tell them your feelings:
1. The first way to tell them is by openly declaring your desire for intimacy. You can hug them or hold them in a romantic way and tell them about your emotional needs.
This why open communication has always been one of the most effective ways couples can have their emotional needs met. When couples cannot freely say what’s on their mind, it will affect the intimacy in their marriage.
2. Become interested in what they are doing. If your husband is reading the newspaper, you can show him that you need him by pretending that you are interested in what he’s reading.
Sit close to him, rest your head on his shoulder, and ask him questions about what he’s reading.
If he’s not giving you any attention after a while, playfully collect the newspaper from him and show him some love. You can do likewise for your wife whenever she’s busy with her phone.
3. Tell them to help you scratch your back or massage your leg. You can tell them that you have neck pain and they should help you rub it. This is one of the easiest ways for couples to communicate their feelings to each other.
4. Wait for them to go to bed in the evening. If you or your partner go to bed earlier than the other, there is a higher possibility that you won’t meet in bed because one of you will sleep before the other. But if you tarry till they go to bed and you go at the same time, there are better chances of getting your emotional needs met.
