Like all things, Love takes work. Some think that once they’ve found their partner there's no more work to do from there but the truth is it takes true effort to last. Moving in and making vows won’t promise forever happiness. It's the day-to-day effort to bloom a worthwhile connection with your sweetheart. Intimacy within relationships, especially marriage is a combination of emotional, mental, and spiritual closeness that you develop with your partner as you share your lives together.

Conversations and compromises are the necessary parts of working things out. The tough parts are in the bag and we cannot avoid them. Yet, there has to be a glimpse of joy when intentionally dedicating energy to the actions we do to build intimacy within our relationships? Get into these four exercises that will bring you even closer to your honey.

Soul Gaze

In this first exercise, you will simply be sitting facing each other staring into one another’s eyes. Envisioning the “window into the soul”. It may seem a little awkward at first yet it challenges each other's vulnerabilities. Being settled while gazing into one another’s eyes the exercise becomes introspective and meditative. Set up a 4–5 minute playlist of tranquil tunes and get into it.
