Some great tips for We-Vibe on how to keep the intimacy alive in your relationship…
Life is busy. It’s easy to put the million little things you need to do each day ahead of your partner. Maybe
you’ve started taking each other for granted. Maybe the kids are draining all of your energy. Maybe you’ve
simply slipped into a rut.
None of these scenarios are unusual. When intimacy starts to fade between you and your partner, you may
begin to feel irritable and under-appreciated. Before you know it, arguments are sure to follow.
By following a few simple steps, you can not only strengthen your relationship, but no doubt feel a spring in
your step in other areas of life as well.
5. Free up space
Don’t be afraid to say no to the things that drain your energy. If little things are continuously bringing you
down, or those around you are always making you miserable, it’s going to impact how you relate to your partner and those you love. It can be hard, but it is important to let those things go!

important, however, to stop to say thank you every once in a while. It doesn’t have to be bunches of flowers,
or expensive gifts; a hug or a simple word of thanks can be just as meaningful.
Try to find something every day, no matter how small, to compliment them on. You will be surprised at how
far a ‘thanks for dinner’ or ‘thank you for taking the bins out’ will get you!
3. Share a laugh
Couples that laugh together stay together, right? Don’t forget to laugh with each other. It can bring you closer
together than almost anything else.
Find ways to be playful and look for ways to giggle. Humor fosters creativity, which all good relationships
need to thrive. Watch a comedy together, share a daggy joke, and try to remember those old things that
sparked your relationship in the first place. After all, life isn’t meant to be taken too seriously.
4. It takes two
When it comes to intimacy in the bedroom, remember that it takes two. Nothing kills the mood like routine,
so don’t be afra
