Marriages and Establishing a Physical Reconnection
One of the most popular complaints that comes up during marriage counseling is the absence of sex in a marriage. Sex fulfills many roles in a marriage, but it is actually the role of physical and emotional connection that most people are referring too when they discuss the disconnect, not the complete act of sex itself.
Physical connection in relationship is vital to the emotional and physical health of both persons in the couple.
Did you know that the chemical that your brain emits during sexual activity is the same chemical emitted whenever you hug, kiss or caress someone?
This is often explained off as a “mystery“ by couples experiencing a resurgence in their physical connection, but it really isn‘t a mystery at all.
If you and your partner have left even the idea of sex far, far behind, and are now living like adult siblings in a relationship devoid of physical connection all together, you may be surprised at the difference a few, small touches can make.
Take small steps in the rebuilding of your physical relationship, especially if that connection has been missing for a while. Hold hands when you’re walking, touch your partner’s arm when you are talking, try a quick kiss on the lips before parting company for the day. These very small steps in reestablishing a physical connection help build a framework for your relationship to be built on anew.
