What is the best way to keep a marriage healthy and intimate?

Answer 1

First, start off with open communication about everything kids, money, sex, family, work, friends, everything! You need to make sure that you guys have the same expectations in regards to all of the items listed above. The first think to kill a marriage (and your sex life) is a shattered expectation!!

Next, you have to actually listen when the other one talks.

Be respectful and passionate about things your sponse is passionate about and then communicate that you expect the same from your spouse.

Be faithful and honest!!! Be honest to a fault, even if you know if will cause a fight. Your ex girlfriend calls you, tell your spouse even if you know she will be upset. Dishonesty is a sure fire way to ruin a relationship and again your sex life.

Being faithful is a no brainer, just do it!!!

Last but not least, evaluate your perception of marriage! Marriage can be the most amazing thing, but it isn't easy all the time and it isn't hard all the time. Think of it as an opportunity to grow a person and to prove to the world what type of person you are. Take pride in your relationship and how your treat your spouse, walk with your head high. Say your buddies are teasing you about going home early from guys night to see your girl, don't hang your head in shame, but be proud of it...like thats right boys I am going home and then tell your woman about it and how your responded. Trust me, we will repay you. Nothing excites a woman like a man that is proud to be with her and isn't afraid to show it.

Answer 2

The best way to keep a marriage healthy and intimate is not to go against the spouse as many times as possible in the wedding life and understanding every thing of the spouse from their point of view

Answer 3

A good rule of a healthy marriage is honesty and compromise. Remember even though you may be right, but it may be better to just let the other person win. If it will avoid a fight then give in. Never go to sleep angry, never forget to make sure the other person knows how much you love them and how important they are to you..if ya keep these things in mind then everything else will fall into place.

Answer 4

A lot of the problem you are living with is the after effects of **** addiction. He's become desensitized to real sex and intimacy. This is a situation that requires marriage counselling. Usually with his background there are also other 'addiction' related behaviours which might have included excessive alcohol or drug use. You can't fix this by yourself, and he has to want to. Find a good counsellor and be straight with that person about all the details. What you want is wonderful. What does he want?

Answer 5

Talk to each other daily. Listen to each other daily. Try to see only the good in him or her . Overlook the tiny little habits that disappoint you. Try to remember that you married them for them, not for someone you wish they coud be. Mostly, pray together. Thats been missing out of the majority of marriages, thats why they get broken. That passion will always be there if you put God in your daily life and the man takes on the spiritual head of household which I find that to be a flaw in most marriages. So sad and Divorces increase everyday. Mine lasted 22 years and I got tired of being the spiritual leader and passion queen. I'm female by the way. Hang in there. You'll know when its time to move on...

Answer 6

Cheat. Kidding. Communication between you and your spouse is the most important way to find out what is going on. It is also the best way to discover what you two like in the intimate part.()

Answer 7

To keep a marriage healthy, both the parties will have to talk things out amicably. If one is angry the other shouldnot fuel it by getting angry. Do not cheat on eachother, do not take things for granted and appreciate the little things done by your spouse. Take time to groom and be presentable for your spouse. Spend time with each other..talk and discuss about things that matter to you.....
the list goes on and on but above all learn to love your partner for who he is faults and all and not yearn for who he is not.

For the intimacy part..sex is the answer..try out new positions, and new places. Talk to eachother as you did the first time you made love. Write little nothings and presents for him/her. That's how I keep my marriage alive and vibrant. Good luck to you

Answer 8
