Three Tips For Friendship in marriage
Exploring practical ways to improve your friendship and intimacy in your marriage.
Having a strong friendship and fostering intimacy are crucial to the success of any marriage. At Expand Counselling, our experienced counsellor specializes in marriage counselling, couples counselling, premarital counselling, and family counselling in Toowoomba. We understand that maintaining a healthy friendship and intimacy can be challenging in a marriage, but with the right approach, it can be achieved.
In this blog post, we will share three tips that can help you improve your friendship and intimacy in your marriage, along with practical ways to implement each point.
Tip One
Make time for fun and shared activities: Building a strong friendship requires spending quality time together and having fun.
Our counsellor suggests:
-
- scheduling regular date nights,
- trying new activities together, or
- going on a bushwalk together
This will not only help to build a strong bond, but also create shared memories and foster intimacy.
Tip Two
Be open and vulnerable with each other: Openness and vulnerability are essential for intimacy. Our counsellor encourage couples to share their innermost thoughts and feelings, and to be honest and transparent with each other.
Practical ways to do this can be setting aside time for deep conversation or journaling together to express your thoughts and feelings.
Tip Three
Show appreciation and gratitude: Showing appreciation and gratitude for one another can help to strengthen the bond and foster intimacy.
Our counsellors suggest making an effort to show appreciation and gratitude for each other on a daily basis, whether it be through words, actions or small gestures.
By following these tips, couples can create a strong foundation for a healthy friendship and intimacy in their marriage. Remember that a good marriage is not about perfection, but about growth, and that every couple goes through challenges, but by learning and adapting to each other’s needs, the relationship can be improved.
