Intimacy is not measured on a consistent upward continuum. Instead, it is a wiggly upward line. Naturally, there are times in your relationship when you feel more or less connected.
More connected – on a date night, with time and space to enjoy each other.
Less connected – trying to feed and bathe three kids and talk to each other about the electricity bill.
Notice the times when you feel more connected and try to grow them.
If your relationship is important to you, give it the time, energy, and care it needs.
From a couple therapist who has been married for 18 years.
Love, Jen
