9 Ways To Deepen Your Relationship Intimacy With Your Wife

Happy Wife Is A Happy Life

The more time and effort you put into your marriage, the happier it will be.

One way you can put effort into your marriage is by making your wife feel special every day. Some men prefer verbalizing their love, while others are uncomfortable getting ooey-gooey with their wives. For those men, small, loving gestures will do the talking for them.

Thinking up romantic ideas for your wife doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate. Romantic dinners and extravagant nights out are surely going to make her feel special, but true relationship intimacy is deepened by the little things you do for her.

Whether you’ve been married for four months or 40 years, it is always a wonderful idea to strengthen your relationship intimacy and make your wife feel special. Here are the best romantic ideas for your wife that will make her go “Wow!”

Embrace Small Gestures

Doing romantic ideas for your wife doesn’t mean shelling out an entire paycheck on an elaborate gift or meal. One of the best ways to build relationship intimacy is by doing the little things.

1.) Open the door for her

2.) Give your coat to your wife when she’s cold

3.) Compliment her talents

4.) Tell her she’s gorgeous

5.) Remember important dates

6.) Leave her a love note in her lunch

7.) Ask her how her day is going

8.) Bring her coffee or tea in the morning

By doing these little things for her, you’ll let her know that in your marriage, chivalry isn’t dead.

Explore Physical Intimacy

As husbands, we want to do the best we can for our wives. And that includes in the bedroom.

Ensuring our wives are satisfied sexually and that we’re paying attention to other physical aspects of the relationship can do wonders in strengthening the marriage.

Studies show that sexual satisfaction was the highest predictor of emotional intimacy in couples. 

Exploring physical intimacy is more than just sex, as well. Research reveals that kissing activates the brain’s reward system. The oxytocin released during sex and other acts of physical touch (such as hugging or holding hands) has also been shown to increase trust and decrease stress.

This Husband Made The Stupid Mistake Of Criticizing How His Wife Cleaned Her Vagina

Using a throwaway and subsequently deleted account so as to wisely maintain his anonymity, a Reddit user named throwthricethree added his own personal story to the fascinating subreddit “Today I Fucked Up.” His post:  “TIFU by telling my wife that I’m grossed out by her after-shower habit.”

Where to start…. this happened a few hours ago, and I’ve been in hell since then. I have no one I can talk to about it, and I need to get it out.

TL; DR: I told my wife that her after-shower habit disgusts me, and now my marriage is in danger.

Extended version: My wife of seven years has a shower habit that has bothered me for years, and today I finally told it to her. When she steps out of the shower, she dries herself and then lifts the little hood of her most precious lady bit and wipes it off. It’s a minimal movement, not longer than a second or two, and she assured me once that it doesn’t hurt or anything. And yet it disgusts me. It reminds me of all the dirt and gross stuff that accumulates under that piece of skin. I’m circumcised, so I never had to handle smegma. Being daily reminded that the place where I put my tongue is also dirty and smelly – I couldn’t bear it any more.

Now she’s gone outside to run off her anger, and I am sitting here wondering why I fucked up so royally. If and how I can ever repair this situation is beyond me.

This Is The Raw And Brutal Truth About Being In Love With Your Soulmate

What do you think of when you hear the word “soulmate?”

Do you think of happily ever after like Cinderella and every other Disney movie with a prince charming? Do you think of walking down the aisle with your husband in tears when he sees you? Do you think of adorable nick-names and home-cooked meals? Do you think of flowers on your bedside “just because?”

For the most part, being in love with your soulmate can be spectacular. But, it’s not all sunshine and happiness all of the time. Society makes us believe that unless your love is perfect – it’s not “your forever love.” They tell us that at the slightest hint of problems, you’re probably not with “the one.”

I’m here to tell you that’s basically a load of bullsh*t. In fact, it’s absolute bullsh*t.

Most days – being with your soulmate isn’t a walk on the beach. Actually, it hardly ever is.

Being with your soulmate means that you’re going to hate each other some days. You’re going to get on each other’s nerves – especially when you live together. Sometimes, they’re going to yell at you when you’re under a f*ck-ton of pressure from work and you’ll blow up on them and then – World War III commences in your tiny, one-bedroom apartment.

Being with your soulmate means that you’re going to want space after a fight. You’re not going to apologize right away because – we’re all stubborn. You’re going to stomp around the house and slam doors and go get drunk with your girlfriends and then text them about how you hate them but love them but hate them and come home to have sloppy, drunk sex and wake up ordering breakfast like nothing ever happened because – you’re over it.

Being with your soulmate means that you have to learn to love the family that hates you. Not every family is perfect and not every soulmate’s family will loveeeeee you the way they do. You have to grow to put aside your hatred/differences/anger/pettiness and grow the f*ck up.

Being with your soulmate means that you have to like their crappy friends. Some of them are creepy. Some of them are horrible influences. Some of them are down-right rude and disrespectful to you – but you don’t come between life-long friendships. You bite your tongue when it’s a “guys night/girls night” and let them do them. You get drunk and binge your show and suck it up.

Being with your soulmate means you clean up sh*t that’s not yours. You do the dishes even if they’re not yours. You’ll clean up their puke when they’re sick and miss the toilet. You’ll clean their hair out of the shower drain. You do it out of “love,” but ultimately, out of “I want to live in a clean home.”

Being with your soulmate means doing sh*t you really don’t want to do. You have to go to their work events because you’re a team. You have to go to their friend’s weddings and kid’s birthday parties because you’re a team.

Being with your soulmate means knowing when to choose your battles. You can’t always fly off the handle about everything and attack when you feel crappy. You can’t complain about things every. single. solitary. second. of. every. single. day. You need to pick and choose your times and battles and let a lot of things go.

Being with your soulmate sometimes sucks. But, truth be told, every relationship sometimes sucks. Who taught you that love was easy? Who taught you that love was ever perfect? Guess what – love is not perfect. Love is real. Love is annoying and button-pushy and sometimes, nauseating. But – love is also something that helps you grow and progress and become stronger – day-by-day.

Love will never be all sunshine and rainbows. It’ll probably be thunderstorms and lightening if anything. But – at the end of the day – it makes you a better version of yourself and is unlike anything else you’ll ever experience.
