Intimacy can settle into a comfy routine, but marriage is your cue to remix it. Don’t let “married life” become code for “sweatpants forever.”

Practical Tips:

• Date nights on steroids: Make dates intentional. Alternate planning surprises—one week it’s a picnic in the park, the next a cooking class. Aim for once a week to start.

• Physical and emotional closeness: Hold hands during movies, send flirty texts mid-day, or try a “no-tech bedroom” rule. For sex, communicate openly about what works now—bodies and desires evolve, so treat it like an ongoing adventure.

• Build non-sexual intimacy: Share hobbies or goals, like training for a 5K together. It’s about feeling connected beyond the daily grind.
  
• Humor Hack: If things get routine, joke about it: “We’re like an old married couple… oh wait, we are!” Time to spice it up like we’re auditioning for a rom-com sequel.” Laughter in the bedroom? Best aphrodisiac ever.

Studies show simple acts like saying “I love you” daily keep couples happier long-term.
