When your marriage hits troubled times, you must believe totally that you can save it, in order to do so. If you do not believe truly that you can save your marriage, then nothing you can do will save it. So the first step if your relationship has hit rocky waters is to believe it can be saved. Intimacy in relationships will be affected by troubled times, and is part of how you save it.
One of the most common missing ingredients in a marriage that is troubled, is a lack of intimacy. For a marriage to be successful and happy, there must be a level of intimacy that completely embraces the emotional, as well as includes the physical. Ask yourself "does my marriage suffer from a lack of intimacy?"
Are you open with your spouse, being honest with your feelings? Do you talk and discuss your feelings or do you keep your emotions and emotional needs locked away, trying to deal with things on your own? If you don't share emotionally and keep your feelings to yourself, keeping your spouse shut out, then your marriage lacks intimacy and it is time to put some into your relationships and get on the track to save marriage.
Sharing worries and problems with your spouse is always the best way. So often people are worried and bothered by an issue or problem. They try and deal with it on their own rather than talk to their spouse about things. This can be a big mistake, because they are shutting their partner out rather than sharing and including them.
Remember, spouses can very easily sense when something is wrong and if you exclude them, they quickly begin to feel shut out and redundant and that's when hurt can quickly find its way into a marriage.
Making time for your marriage is a vital way to inject some intimacy into the relationship, and save your marriage. Because everyone is so busy and there are always a thousand and one things to do with your time, not making time for one another and for your relationship is a sure way for a marriage to hit a rocky patch. It is no good realising that while you were busy at work or looking after the kids your marriage has all but disappeared.
If you want to save your marriage and inject that intimacy back in, make time for your spouse. If, once in a while you take some time off, just half a day even, and have some fun with your spouse you will see results. Your spouse will see that you value them, so much that you changed your schedule for them, and you will then both see improvement in your marriage.
Taking care of your marriage and creating intimacy so that you can save marriage will not be a breeze; it will take time and effort, and it needs to be done regularly. No marriage survives for long on auto-pilot. A marriage that is cared for, valued and looked after will be a happy one with great intimacy in the relationship. - 30299
