Thoughts on Intimacy in Marriage

Thy Twain Shall Be One

Husbands spend time with your wives.  How wonderful it is when a husband and wife can dream together.  Love and cherish every moment you can spend together.  Choose hobbies you can both enjoy and grow old doing them. 

Husbands, please put your wives first.  The way you speak to her and the things you speak to her about help her know she is important to you.   Wives look forward to their husbands returning home from work, especially when the children are young, and want to feel like their husbands are glad to see them.  Both may be tired but it is important to be kind and loving.  

Husbands, ask how her day went.  Let her know you care about the things that have gone on in her life that day.  Most wives love a hug and a kiss.  Sincerely complement your wife for the things she has done.  It is so satisfying to snuggle on the couch at the end of a long day, even if it is to share the news or a show you pick together.  You might be surprised to find out that your wife actually likes football!  

Romance your wife.  For me this doesn't have anything to do with gifts.  Let your kiss linger a little longer than usual.  Touch the back of my neck when we are sitting together.  Take my hand as we walk into the grocery store together.  Give me the "I love you" symbol when I look over at you in the temple.  I promise you it will be worth it.  

Wives, always look for the good in your husband.  Focusing on all the good helps us to want to improve and nurture our relationships and improve intimacy in our marriages.  Learn your husbands love language and show him you love him by doing what he like. 

Take the time to learn about his interests and take some interest in them yourself.  You might be surprised to learn you like some new things.  Focus more on what your husband does right than what he does wrong.  While many of us see our husband's job as something he gets to do every day, they may see it some days as something they have to do  to support the family.  Show appreciation for what they go off and do every day.     

Marriage is so much more fulfilling when the husband treats his wife as a queen and the wife treats her husband as a king.
