Save Your Marriage with 3 Tips

1. Get Physical Together. There are many studies looking at what keeps couples passion and connection healthy.  Midwestern University showed that individuals felt more attraction to one another after 15minutes of physical activity. Exercise also releases endorphins which help you feel happier and in less pain. This creates more attraction to your partner and vise-versa as happier people are seen as more attractive.
2. Adrenaline! May seem strange but it is true. Research shows that as adrenaline increases between two people so does their attraction and connection. Try going to a suspenseful movie, theme park or if you’re really brave something more intense.
3. Touch one another. It’s that simple. Human to human touch releases Oxytocin (the love/bonding hormone) and this is linked to increased feelings of connection and bonding with couples. In therapy, I give couple prescribed, non-sexual touching time. This could be hugging, massages or cuddle time.
