Intimacy is a vital aspect of any romantic relationship, yet there are times when life’s demands can leave us feeling less than amorous. Whether it’s stress from work, fatigue, or simply being caught up in the routine of daily life, getting in the mood for lovemaking can sometimes feel like a challenge.

But it doesn’t have to be that way, with a little effort and creativity, you can create an environment that ignites passion and desire.

So let’s jump in and talk about the seven tried-and-tested tips to help you get in the mood for lovemaking:

Set the Scene: Create a romantic atmosphere in your bedroom by dimming the lights, lighting scented candles, and playing soft music. A welcoming environment can help you relax and shift your focus from the stresses of the day to the pleasure of the present moment.

Prioritize Relaxation: Take the time to unwind and de-stress before getting intimate with your spouse. Whether it’s taking a warm bath, practicing deep breathing exercises, or indulging in a relaxing massage, prioritizing relaxation can help you release tension and feel more open to intimacy.
