After 16 years of marriage, and after many conversations with couples, I have learned something important:
Intimacy in a long-term relationship is not something you either have or lose forever.
It changes. It evolves. And it needs attention.
Here are 5 things I wish more women knew and would do:
1. Speak about your intimate life.
I know we all have some shame around this topic, but speaking about what you like, what you like less, and what you desire is one of the most important first steps.
2. Help your partner connect with you emotionally.
For many women, emotional connection is a big part of feeling open and close in intimacy.
3. Explore and understand your own body.
Knowing what feels good, what you enjoy, and what helps you feel connected to yourself is an important part of your intimate life.
4. Read Coming Soon by Dania Schiftan.
(I highly recommend this book if you want to understand more about female desire and intimacy.)
5. Understand your erotic blueprint.
Discover what creates desire for you, what turns you on, and what helps you feel more connected to your own sexuality.
đ Save this if you need this reminder.
