Intimacy keeps the love and passion in a relationship alive. When your love feels alive – you feel more alive and this is one of the best feelings a human being has the privilege to experience.

When this intimacy dies – so can your relationship… How much time do you spend being intimate with your partner? Do you spend more time gazing into the TV than into your lover’s eyes? Why?

Intimacy is vital for a strong and fulfilling relationship. Having a lack of time is no excuse, after all, Donald Trump and Bill Gates have the same amount of time in the day as we do and they manage to get things more done in a year than most people do in a life time.

Cut down your TV time (best of all stop watching TV at all) and do some activities together – for some this may mean actually talking to each other. Ask her about her day and listen ‘female style’ to show her that she has your undivided attention.

Remember – don’t be offering her advice and solutions – just empathy! Think of something romantic and surprise her. You may even chose a random date and tell her that you are going out to celebrate life and just being together. Be spontaneous and add some extra spice into your lives.
