Great advice! I think that couples should take some time off everyday to spend quality time together. It’s quality over quantity; deep conversations even a few minutes a day would help a couple reinforce intimacy in their relationship.

Our kids are older (15-23) and sometime roll their eyes or make comments about the affection my wife and I show each other in our home, though less so in public. But the truth is I know that what we are showing them is the importance of expressing affection for each your mate and that it will pay dividends in their future.

Thanks Stu!

Yes, I understand what you mean about being flirty or loving outside the bedroom. I think we all could use some growth here, I know, for me at least, it does not come naturally, I always have to remind myself (or have my wife remind me!)

Eric –

Great stuff man – and congrats to you! (We are in the decision mode of another kiddo!)

What a blessing to have great models of healthy intimacy for marriage – re: your parents. I don’t remember many public displays of healthy intimacy from my parents. That bums me out, for me, AND for them!!

My beautiful wife™ and I always talk about being great ‘team mates’ and ‘friends’, yet, the ‘lover’ part of the equation (being loving, flirty, fun, “healthily intimate”) outside the bedroom is where we want to grow most!

Thanks for the encouragement ~ Stu@themarryblogger.com
