Be intentional about setting aside 10 minutes a day to cuddle before bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might also consider cuddling up on the couch and watching a show together every evening. This physical closeness can pave the way for becoming more sexual<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with your spouse.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Connect with your own body physically<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a fast-paced society, we may lose connection with our own bodies as we become sedentary and focus entirely on work. By spending our hours in the office working, we may miss out on opportunities for physical exercise or time spent in nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking time to get exercise, go outdoors, or stimulate the body physically through a warm bath can help us to reconnect physically with ourselves and increase our desire for sex.

This can include a hug, a quick kiss on the cheek, a pat on the back, or a squeezing of the hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However you choose to touch, it will strengthen your physical bond and draw you closer together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engaging in physical touch throughout the day can also put you in the mood for sex.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Try new things<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your partner&rsquo;s sexual needs and interests, as well as your own, may change over time. Instead of always doing the same thing when it comes to sex, try something new.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you always have gentle sex, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/physical-intimacy\/sex-ideas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">explore new things together sexually<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Sometimes, a couple&rsquo;s sex life comes to a halt because of boredom or because one partner wants to try new things but is afraid to ask.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sitting down to talk about your fantasies or to create a list of things you&rsquo;d like to try together is a great way to reconnect with your spouse sexually<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Prioritize sex&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, couples may make a habit of avoiding sex. Over time, after a period of no sex, it is normal for sexual desire to fade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can lead couples to become caught in a cycle of low sexual desire, making it even more difficult to get back into the routine of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/physical-intimacy\/10-reasons-to-have-sex-frequently-with-your-spouse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">having sex regularly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To overcome this barrier, you may have to prioritize sex for a while. Even if you aren&rsquo;t in the mood, make a habit of just doing it. It may feel forced in the beginning, but if you stay committed to having sex regularly, it will feel more natural again with time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is difficult to prioritize sex in the beginning, you may have to redefine what you consider sex. If going all the way feels too unnatural,you may start with other forms of physical intimacy that feel comfortable to both of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be helpful to take all expectations off the table in the beginning.
