What is Intimacy in Marriage?
Intimacy in marriage is a sense of closeness for your spouse through sharing and caring for each other. It implies loving and accepting your spouse for who he or she is.
For some, this intimacy could be how you hug, cuddle and have fun in bed together. For others, it could be having a time out with your partner, being present and available and spending quality time together. Whatever it is that makes the spark of love keep burning high in marriage is what builds intimacy.
Therefore, you need to understand what your partner enjoys to share with you more and focus on building that aspect. Your love life is like a garden. The growth of the garden is up to the gardeners who tend, care, and nurture the garden. Love is beautiful, especially when it is between two partners who are committed to each other.

1. Openness Builds Intimacy in Marriage
Openness builds intimacy in any relationship. When you always see your spouse as your confidant, it becomes easy to open up your fear, pain and worries to him or her. You know each other better when you are open to a deeper level of communication.
Good communication leads to emotional connection. One way to achieve good communication is to learn to ask deep emotional questions. Most of our decisions, choices and actions spring from our mind- the seat of our emotions.
So, understanding the passion, joy, or pain in your spouse’s mind would help you proffer emotional support when needed. Hence, the need for good communication. Communication helps you find the good in your partner even when things are bad.
A study showed that men are more conservative about issues they go through in their emotions. This makes many men internalize pains but react to the slightest provocation at such a time. Dear man, it is not wrong to cry on your wife’s shoulder. It is humane to cry. Let her know what you feel and communicate it intimately.
Likewise, wives at home must learn to discover their husband’s unique personalities. You don’t have to nag or complain about him to understand you-simple questions with a soft approach that works like magic.
2. Always remember how you started together
“If you can remember why you started, then you will know why you must continue.”
― Chris Burkmenn
Sometimes, we are quick to forget how it all began with us. Forgetfulness makes what used to give us joy, pleasure and happiness look like nothing. The truth is, when you forget how it all began, you will never appreciate where you are. A river that forgets its source will soon dry up; it is just a matter of time.
To keep the love fresh in your home, you need to keep the memory of how the love began. The foundation of your love life is what will keep the home together even in challenges. Love has a root and you must go back to the root when it looks like the home is at the brink of divorce.
Everything beautiful started somewhere; even the beautiful Fendi Runaway Small Vitello Century Satchel is from the finest leather snakeskin. Likewise, your love life is not an exemption of beauty that started somewhere.
Remember how you were fond of each other, the places you visited together, the games you played together and what you told each other. These things are foundational in your marriage and they can keep you together in love as long as you know it.
No matter how you have grown to be fond of each other, never outgrow those days of the beautiful beginning in your marriage. Instead, do the things you used to do together. Keep sending beautiful romantic text messages even while away, visit recreational centres together, and keep reminding your partner how much you love him or her.
The truth is, most women love beautiful memories they can always fantasize about. As a husband, it will be unwise to get so entangled with work-life that you forget to create memories for your wife. It could be a trip to the Caribbean, the Eastern Island, Maldives or just somewhere she had always dreamed of going. Just go on a date and keep the spark of love burning endlessly.
3. Do Something New Together
The bond of love is made firmer in togetherness. Surely, you and your partner working out something together increases the chances of getting intimate with each other. For instance, having to grow a garden together, help friends together or raise a pet together help develop intimacy with each other.

If you have not been doing things together in the home with your partner, you can start now. The first step to togetherness is by willing to help and support your partner’s interest. The truth is, you do not have to like doing what your partner does, but your support goes a long way to show your spouse that you have his or her interest at heart.
Below are some fun things you can do together with your spouse:
- Attend a coaching session together
- Exercise together
- Raise a dog together
- Watch Movies
- Buy each other gifts and so on.
4. Give Compliments as often as you can
Your words of appreciation go a long way to develop intimacy with your partner. While some couples restore intimacy through the act of service to each other, others enjoy intimacy through communication and compliment. You must understand that mere “thank you” and “well done” do a great deal in building intimacy with each other.
A sincere compliment about how your spouse dresses, speaks, smiles or talks makes the person feel good. Compliments are expressions of love using other beautiful languages than “I love you.” Some of these compliments could be;
- You are the best friend I can ever ask for.
- You are special to me.
- Thank you for always being there for me.
- You smile beautifully
- You are amazing
5. set aside time for each other
We are busy. This is the busiest generation in human history. Many things take our time and if we are not careful, we might get busy so much that we forget the important people in our lives.
The truth is, you cannot be too busy not to create time for the one you love. Create time for love and make it a priority. Do not let your spouse feel unimportant. Let your partner see how much he or she is important to you by making time together.

In conclusion, building intimacy in marriage is one way to enjoy all-around happiness in life. A happy wife will become a happy professional, happy mother, and happy co-worker. Likewise, a happy husband will be a happy man, a happy father and a happy co-worker.
