Eye contact


It is said that eyes are the windows to our soul. The first step towards making a close connection is making an eye contact. When you passionately look into your partner’s eyes, it builds a loving relationship and develops more trust in the marriage. This paves the way for intimacy.


Touch


Touching each other, hugging, cuddling, etc., whenever you can, creates a longing for each other. This also produces oxytocin hormone, often called the ‘love hormone’, which is responsible for the ‘being in love’ feeling. Your touch should convey your emotions to your partner. A simple act like holding hands while watching TV can also build a stronger and more intimate bond.
