Relationship Help: Feeling Close

November 16th, 2007 by Aaron from FullTiltMarriage.com · Be First to Comment

Are you wondering why your lover feels so far away? Do you just not feel close any more? This happens at different times throughout the life of a relationship. First and foremost, this needs to be seen as a reminder, a wake-up call to get back on track. If you let this go on for too long, you will find yourself living as roommates, with no real intimacy between you.

Steps to Feel Close Again

Start Talking. I don’t mean daily chit chat. I mean real conversation about your hopes and dreams. Where do you want your life to go? Who are you now at this point in your life? What do you want to accomplish?
Spend Quality Time. Couples need to spend at least 10 hours per week connecting. I know that seems like a lot because everyone has jobs and kids, etc. BUT if you want a great marriage, find the time. Put the kids to bed early, get a babysitter for the night. Find some time for love.
Touch Your Sweetheart. Showing physical affection (holding hands, rubbing her back, etc) releases something in your body called oxytocin. Oxytocin is the bonding chemical. It makes you feel close to another person.

A healthy relationship needs to be nurtured. It needs to be given time and attention. When your relationship becomes your priority, just look at how great your life can be.

Relationship Help: Questions You Should Ask

November 14th, 2007 by Aaron from FullTiltMarriage.com · Be First to Comment

Questions healthy people discuss when new, significant relationships form

Are we spiritually, financially, psychologically, and emotionally, sufficiently suited to each other?
Do our long-held, individual, long-term, personal goals and personal dreams somewhat fit with each other?
What do we each imagine is possible for us to achieve (service to the poor, overseas travel, learning foreign languages, learning new skills) within this relationship and potential marriage?
How do we each perceive our individual and mutual responsibilities to our parents and extended families if we marry?
Which of us is better with money? If we marry, how will we organize our money? Will we keep everything separate or will we pool all our resources? How will we decide what we buy, how we buy, and when we buy expensive, but necessary items needed by a new family? Which professional will we choose to help us with the wise use of our resources? [Do not enter a relationship with someone who is in excessive debt.]
What does each of us think about religious observance? How will we decide on where and how we will worship?
What help do you need from me in order that you may achieve all you have ever wanted to achieve with your life?
