“I’m just not a touchy feely person.”

How many times have you said or heard this in your marriage?

Many couples find themselves in this situation—with one or both of them feeling like physical touch isn’t an essential part of their relationship. But it’s time to call out this statement as a flimsy excuse.

The truth is that your bodies are designed for touch, and physical intimacy is crucial for building closeness and connection between the two of you.

Even if you don’t think touch is important, it plays a significant role in improving your health, reducing stress, and bringing you two closer together.

Let’s be clear: physical intimacy and sexual intimacy are different.

Your Physical Intimacy Pillar encompasses all of your loving, non-sexual touches. You can probably think of the most common ones: hand-holding, back rubs, kisses.

But if you’re not a touchy feely person, you might have written off physical intimacy because you don’t like those common touches.

Good news: That can change today!

Check out these 17 creative ideas for strengthening physical intimacy, even if you or your spouse are not touchy feely people.

Strengthening Your 6 Pillars:

7 Amazing Ways to Make Love Last

A while back, we compiled 7 hacks for making love last.

Trust us, you'll want to read the full article because we stuffed it FULL with resources, relevant content, and personal testimonies.

Buckle up, apply these liberally to your marriage, and get ready for the restorative ride of your life!

7. Your Health = Your Libido

Healthy body. Healthy sex-life.

We have found that the better you look (and feel) the more confident you are, the more confident you are, the better you “play”.

Keeping you and your libido in good shape will be a huge stress and time saver in your marriage.

6. Emotional Intimacy First

Date night success starts with the heart.

The more we learn to take off our “masks” and connect on an emotional level, the more we connect without any other coverings as well.

5. Ask & Answer Questions

Statements end journeys. Questions get them started!

The less you end your sentences with a full stop, the less hesitation you’ll have about your spouse.

Asking a questions is a great way to show that you are genuinely interested.

And in return your eager answers can change your partner’s day!

4. Overcome Rejection Fearlessly

We all feel rejection at some point in our marriage.

For too many, it signals the beginning of the end. It doesn’t have to, though.

In fact, overcoming rejection can lead you to a deeper intimacy than you’ve ever had before.

The prerequisite on this one is belief and perseverance. But armed with the 3 hacks above, you got this one no problem.

3. Rebuild Trust

This one takes the number three spot, because if your trust tank is low, you find depressing evidence everywhere in your marriage.

Stopping the trust leaks and restoring unity puts a multiplier into all you do as a couple.

Demolishing doubts and refilling your trust is like having the benefit of compounding interest in every area of your marriage.

2. The Intimacy Lifestyle

Being sexually intimate with your spouse is not an event 3 times a week. It’s a lifestyle.

We believe that a healthy sex life is both the best indicator and sustainer of a healthy marriage.

Pull the camera back and see your whole marriage as a supporter and extension of what happens in your bedroom.

It’ll rock your world in more ways that one. It has for many couples (us happily included!) and it will keep rocking us.

Do you enjoy following the status quo of sex after date night?

According to a recent poll, 65% of you prefer having sex after going out on a date. The other 35% prefer having sex before date night.

Many couples expect sex to follow a nice evening out.

But when you feel uncomfortable after your evening out, you might not feel like having sex. This can lead to disappointment and frustration on both ends.

That's why having sex before your date night can be a solution that eases expectations and allows both of you to be fully present.

Life is short! Dinner can leave you feeling tired, full, and not in the mood for sex.

Why not have dessert first?
