How’s the sexual energy level in your marriage? Is it high or low, or somewhere in between? Are you working to increase it? I’m not talking making love more often (although that’s good too!), but rather about infusing your marriage with sexual energy – the communications and actions that say to your spouse “I want you.”
High sexual energy is nearly universal in new relationships, but declines after a few years – unless we take steps to maintain it. And in the same way that maintaining physical, mental or emotional energy requires a bit of time and attention, so does maintaining sexual energy. Fortunately, it’s a fun and easy kind of “maintenance” that everyone can do! Here are six ways to increase the sexual energy level in your marriage.
- Spend some “down time” together. It’s really hard (if not impossible) to maintain high sexual energy if you’re both running from one activity to another all day, every day. And it’s doubly hard if you’re both connected to your phone, tablet or laptop most of the time. So figure out a way to spend some “down time” together, when you can unwind a bit and enjoy each other’s company. It doesn’t have to be an official date (although dating your spouse is great); rather, it can be something as simple as watching a movie or having a glass of wine together.
