Couples can enjoy good, healthy, fun-loving sex for a lifetime. Fulfilled sexual relationships are the products of time and awareness. They require a major commitment in effort and cooperation. Both partners give priority to pleasuring each other. Normal sexual development in a marriage is all about revealing who you really are.
Lack of intimacy is the underlying problem for sexual boredom. Couples must learn how to let each other know what they like and would like to try. Couples who are afraid of upsetting the relationship get stuck in a rut. They may stay stuck for years in a boring, sexual comfort zone that masks fears of rejection towards trying anything new. Loving, open communication can reveal sexual desires and develop new strategies to make satisfying improvements. It energizes lovemaking. Be willing to experiment. Find satisfying ways of giving one another pleasure. When children are in the home, parents who have good sex manage to set and protect times for themselves. They do not spend every waking moment with the children, even very young ones. Resourceful, imaginative couples enjoy sexual intimacy well into their eighties and nineties. These couples adapt to changes in their sexual organs caused by ageing. Erections are more difficult to obtain; they are not as rigid as during youth and tougher to regain once lost. Vaginas become dry, this can make sex painful, unless lubrication products are used. Mature couples who are emotionally close and empathic can sense one another's changing needs. They give hugs, compliments, and reassurance. Their needs and wants are clearly expressed. TRY THESE PROVEN WAYS TO PUT PASSION BACK INTO YOUR MARRIAGE: - Prioritize: make sex a high priority, do not put it off until "later." Do not let children or careers get in the way.
- Time: make and take the time for lovemaking. Focus on love and lust. Spend quality time to build trust and affection.
- Touch: touch communicates love; hold hands, give tender hugs and kisses, take baths and showers together.
- Romance: wooing, courting, and seducing enhance romance.
- Play: lighten up, play, explore, and be creative with sex.
- Talk: share your feelings and needs; give feedback and reinforcement.
