We recently did a podcast episode on this subject titled: 267. How To Make Sexual Intimacy More “Intimate.”

Have you ever considered that true intimacy is about so much more than just the physical act?  We’ve all had times when we get done having sex and we feel empty, and not much of a connection. However we have probably all experienced other times when the sex was amazing and connecting like never before and we crave sexual intimacy to be like that every time.

If you remember the most amazing sexual intimacy experiences with your spouse, chances are they were extremely intimate and connecting, and it was so much more than just having good sex. You were probably connected on a much deeper level.

In this episode we share they ways you can make sexual intimacy so much more intimate, deeper connecting and enjoyable. Join us for this great podcast episode. 

When we think of intimacy in marriage, we often gravitate towards the physical aspect, but true sexual intimacy transcends mere physicality. It’s about deep emotional connection, vulnerability, and genuine affection between spouses. In this article, we delve into the nuances of elevating sexual intimacy with your spouse, moving beyond routine and into the realm of profound connection.

Foreplay Beyond the Bedroom:

Foreplay isn’t just about what happens right before sex; it’s a culmination of gestures and actions throughout the day that foster emotional closeness. From a tender kiss in the morning to a loving touch while cooking together, these seemingly small acts lay the foundation for deeper intimacy.

Eye Contact:

While it may feel vulnerable, maintaining eye contact during intimate moments can significantly enhance connection. It’s a powerful way to convey love, trust, and mutual desire, forging a deeper bond between partners.

The Power of Touch:

Physical touch is a language of its own, and within the context of sexual intimacy, it speaks volumes. Whether it’s a gentle caress, a lingering kiss, or holding hands, these tactile expressions of affection cultivate intimacy and reinforce the emotional connection between spouses.

Slowing Down:

In a world that often prioritizes speed and efficiency, slowing down can work wonders for intimacy. Taking the time to savor each moment, to explore each other’s bodies, and to build anticipation can lead to a more fulfilling and intimate experience.

Creating a Sensual Environment:

The ambiance plays a significant role in setting the stage for intimacy. Whether it’s soft lighting, soothing music, or a clutter-free space, creating a sensual environment can heighten the senses and deepen the emotional connection between partners.

Mindfulness and Emotional Connection:

Mindset matters when it comes to intimacy. Approaching sexual encounters with a positive attitude and a focus on emotional connection can transform the experience from a physical act into a deeply meaningful exchange of love and affection.

Communication and Aftercare:

Communication doesn’t end when the physical aspect begins. Engaging in open, intimate conversations before, during, and after sexual encounters fosters understanding, reassurance, and continued emotional connection. And don’t underestimate the power of cuddling and aftercare; these simple acts of affection reaffirm the bond between spouses and prolong the intimacy of the moment.

Reflecting on the Journey:

Finally, take time to reflect on your journey of intimacy with your spouse. Celebrate the moments of deep connection, acknowledge the challenges, and commit to continually nurturing your emotional and physical bond.

In essence, sexual intimacy with your spouse is about more than just physical pleasure—it’s about fostering a deep, enduring connection built on love, trust, and mutual respect. By prioritizing emotional connection, communication, and mindfulness, you can elevate your intimate moments to new heights, creating a profound and lasting bond with your spouse.
