Most couples have mutual respect and love. But they limit expressing these to certain occasions. As they advance in age, they become less and less expressive.
As years pass by, couples are reluctant to spend time together and strengthen their emotional bonds. Especially, when they have grown-up children. There are some couples who are reluctant to express mutual love or even sleep in the same room once their children have grown up.
There is no point in feeling shy or hesitant in these matters. However advanced be your age, you are still couples. You have the responsibility to ensure mutual love and grow it up. You need to share love and row the boat of marital life. It is not by doing big things that you remain and grow in love, but also by doing little things. Here are some ways to grow your love:
Sleep hugging each other
Some couples touch mutually only when they are about to engage in sex, and once the sexual act is over, they turn apart and fall asleep. When they have no plan to have sex, they take care not even to touch mutually. Especially when they have lived together for decades. This is not a good practice. Hugging each other while sleeping will deepen their bond. This will help them feel more secure and ensure a good sleep. It will also build their mutual love.
Make each other happy with a smile
Always try to make your spouse happy. An open smile on the part of partners will enhance the relationship. A smile from your partner will help you overcome many adverse situations in life. By smiling at your spouse, you are actually telling “Never be sad dear.”
Change your dress in front of your partner
Do you feel reluctance to change your dress in front of your life partner? Then your relationship is not so warm. It is natural to feel awkward to change your dress before a stranger. Because we do not know them. But our life partner is not so. If you still feel uneasy to change your dress before your spouse, it means that your relationship is not deep enough.
Exchange words in the bedroom
Before going to sleep, speak to each other. It will help both of you to assess the day objectively, relieve your stress, and plan out the coming day effectively. But what we often see is that couples never talk in their bedrooms. The moment they see the bed, they fall asleep. Some others stay awake, but will never communicate.
Give a holiday to the kitchen
At least once a month or according to your financial status, give a holiday to the kitchen. Go out together and have a dine-out. Visit a park or beach. Watch a movie or go shopping. These are all small steps to grow in mutual love.
Take a bath together
Taking a bath together will enhance marital love. Similarly, do the kitchen chores together. Watch the television together. Find time for these things and have a heart to practice them.
