Having a healthy marriage should be the first priority for both of you. So, as a couple, don’t be scared to set rules and boundaries. Consider these tips:

Establish a good non-sexual routine for having a good connection with each other. Show your feelings toward each other by holding hands, laying together, sitting on the couch next to each other, and kissing hello and goodbye.

2. Say I Love You
Saying and hearing these three magical words reassures both parties about their feelings. “I love you” helps to keep your passion alive. If you miss your chance during the day to say these three words, call or text to remind your partner how much you love them.
3. Have Regular Intimacy Dates
A sexual relationship is an important part of your marriage. Couples in their 20s on average have 2-4 times a week, couples in their 30s twice per week, and those in 40-50 once or twice a week.
Pay attention to this frequency and do not let your relationship slip into a routine that does not have that sexual connection as a priority.
4. Complement Your Partner In Front Of Others
Complementing your partner in social gatherings gives him/her a deep sense of attachment as well as building their self-esteem.
It is also good modeling for your children to have a close relationship, and complementing your partner in front of them demonstrates this.
