A marriage relationship thrives on intimacy, closeness, oneness, friendship and physical connection. Intimacy is more than just the act of making love. Intimacy starts with meeting each others’ needs, making each other truly happy, and not neglecting each other causing one or both to fall out of love.
A marriage relationship must be considered “high maintenance”. This means you have to constantly work at keeping your marriage healthy, happy, and fulfilling. Marriage does not come easy, but I don’t need to tell anyone that. Creating intimacy takes work and it is very easy to blame your partner why your marriage is the way it is today. But, if you really want to develop and maintain intimacy in your relationship, you have to focus on what you need to do. It only takes one of you to start and what a difference a day can make.
Understand that you are responsible to set the mood, tone, and atmosphere in your relationship. Create the attitude and changes that are needed to have a marriage that allows you to be in love with each other instead of just being with each other. Stop being negative and stop the blame game and start learning about your partner and relationship. Take the moral high ground and start making changes in your relationship today. Even the most successful marriages learn and grow…that is the reason why they are successful.
Besides, marriage is the most rewarding gift and amazing blessing. Marriage and the union of two people don’t ruin marriage…the people in it do. God created marriage and we owe it to him, ourselves, and our future generations to have a relationship that is rewarding, healthy, happy, and fulfilling.
Stop the blame, stop taking your partner for granted, and start cherishing each other and your relationship. A happy and healthy relationship takes just as much energy as a negative and unhealthy relationship. Switch your negative energy to positive energy!
