We just feel disconnected.

5. We just feel disconnected.

Sex may be a physical act, but there is so much more to it than the act itself. In fact, communication is the first step to real intimacy. And, yet, so many couples refuse to take the time to open up to one another on a daily basis. Instead, we settle for surface conversations and to-do lists–leaving us disconnected and discontented.

We must be vulnerable with one another and share what’s on our hearts to maintain a strong connection and have a satisfying sex life. And, this takes time and effort. We can’t just go on auto-pilot and expect our marriage and sex life to be amazing. We must wake up each morning and be intentional about loving and serving our spouse. The little acts of love that we do throughout the day–like making the coffee just how he/she likes it, sending flirtatious texts, surprising him/her for lunch, planning a date night, or putting the kids to bed a little early to cuddle up and watch your favorite movie– will ramp up the romance in our marriage. So, open up. Laugh together. Dream together. Talk about everything. It will bring you closer, and it will naturally set the mood for love-making. That’s what sex is supposed to be–a beautiful outpouring of love and connection between a husband and wife.
