| Hey Heathershenhouse OK, total honesty here... my favorite movie series is Twilight.
Yes. The sparkly Vampire love story between Bella and Edward Cullen with the love sick Wolf aka Jacob who always wants to steal Bella's heart. (Team Edward all the way!)
I have watched these movies a million times and it's my go-to guilty pleasure when I'm under the weather or when Thad is away on business.
The last time I watched Twilight, I really got to wondering about WHY we love romance movies so much.
What is it specifically? I think I figured it out....
It's the absolute intensity between the lovers.
It's the desperate gazes, the longing, the pain from being apart, the sheer intensity of loving someone with every fiber of your being.
But is that real or just drama to sell movie tickets? I think both!
Yes, they make these movies over the top dramatic obviously, but you CAN have more intensity in your relationship!
And trust me.... it's WORTH it!!
Here are a few ways to boost your intensity and get your blood flowing for your spouse.... - Spend time gazing into your partners eyes without distraction! (This is one I have my Inspired Life School students do and they report MAJOR shifts in their intimate relationships as a result!)
- Do an activity together that increases your adrenaline or heightens your emotions such as a Firewalk. High impact and challenging activities create a deep bond between people who participate together.
- Increase your daily intimacy! Couples who engage in intimacy, especially sex, have better relationships. And don't forget to flirt with your spouse!
- Talk, even brag about your spouse to other people.
- Have your partners back! Be protective and never talk bad about them or let anyone else talk bad about them either.
- Get sentimental. Spend time recalling the beautiful things you've done and sharing warm memories.
- Plan new and exciting adventures to look forward to!
- Always kiss goodbye, goodnight, and hello!
Intensity levels vary and what might be great for you, may be too intense for your spouse. As in all things, talk to your spouse!
Good communication is the biggest part of what makes a relationship great!
