Intimacy is the spark that helps to keep a marriage alive. However, intimacy can quickly fall to the wayside when careers and family get in the way and take over. That intimate feeling that used to spark romance seems to be harder to find once you’ve been married for a few years. The demands of life can get the way and you and your partner can be left wondering how to increase the intimacy in your relationship.

Intimacy is an important part of a relationship. Intimacy is that connection between you and your spouse that makes you desire each other and makes you excited to be with each other. When the intimacy starts to fade, it could spell trouble for even the best of relationships.

Here are five secrets to helping increase the intimacy in your relationship:

1. Make a point to connect on a deep level. One way to do this is to lie together, each feeling the others heart beat and synchronizing your breathing. This can bring you together on such a deep, intimate level that it is exhilarating.

2. Make eye contact. Direct eye contact has been shown to be a very emotional action. It stirs emotions within a person that are very intense. Gazing into your lovers’ eyes can really give intimacy a kick.

3. Kiss. Many times as a relationship ages, kissing is lost. A kiss is one of the most intimate actions between a couple. A kiss can signify so much more than any other thing you can do.

4. Spend time enjoying each others company. You do not have to be doing anything else but being together. You do not have to talk even. Just the simple act of spending time together is enough.

5. Do small things that say “I love you”. It is usually the smallest gestures that say the most. By doing these small things you won’t even have to say those three little words; your partner will just know and they will appreciate it, too.

These are five great ways to increase the intimacy in your relationship. By doing things like this you are not going to focus on anything sexual, which can often be confused with intimacy. You are simply going to be focused on increasing the intimacy between you and building it up to where it once was.

As you build the intimacy in your relationship you will soon start to see its impact. You may get giddy like you were when you first got together. You may start to feel like you are going through puppy love all over again. Best of all you are going to be creating and strengthening that bond between you that will help to keep your marriage happy. That is how intimacy works.

The shift of economic power between the sexes means that women are no longer financially dependent on husbands or boyfriends. They have the choice of whether to live alone or with a partner, and the partner can be either long or short term. So how do you attract a desirable woman ?

Relations between the sexes have a biological basis and although patterns of life have changed over the last 2,000 years, human biology is relatively slow to develop and adapt. For most women this means they are driven by their genes to seek out a male who will be a loving companion and a suitable father for their children.

The following list may help males of all ages to understand women -

1. Sex Appeal
Women are undoubtedly attracted to men they consider sexy. If that means men should be over 6 foot tall, have blue eyes, wavy fair hair and a slim waist, then most men are doomed to failure. Fortunately, the concept of sexiness is not so simple. There are many short, bald, fat men who are regularly seen with attractive women. What these men have in common is an ability to charm and flatter women and make them feel feminine.

2. Make her feel like a Woman
A cursory glance at adverts aimed at women confirms that women wish to look beautiful, young, and have an interesting life style. All a man needs to do is tell a woman what she wants to hear. If in addition, he means it, that is a bonus. This technique will work with women of all ages and persuasions.

It is difficult to think of a woman less interested in romance than the widowed Queen Victoria, yet the British Prime Minster Disraeli famously remarked that everyone likes flattery. And when it comes to royalty, you should lay it on with a trowel.

3. Men should be Masterful
Despite the financial independence of women, a man who is strong will also be attractive. This is not defined in terms of physical strength, but rather strength of character. In other words a woman seeks a man who is masterful, and not a wimp.

This is a challenging point because many women are better suited to making financial decisions than men, in addition to having impressive organisational and networking skills. Despite this, many successful career women are happily married to men whose career and earnings are but a pale reflection of their own.

Strength of character means that a man will support a decision made by a talented woman and help her to realise her goals, even though he may not be capable of realising such goals for himself.

4. Men should be Useful
As many women are no longer financially dependent on men, men need to consider their role in a relationship. Successful women need a partner who is an asset, that is, he helps her to achieve both her professional ambitions and pursue a family life.

There comes a stage in a young woman’s life when she starts thinking of settling down, getting married and having a family. This means she is looking for a long term partner who is sober, dependable, loving, faithful and who will be a suitable role model for any male children. Many men will find this a demanding specification, but for most women, this is a non negotiable list.

5. Men should have Homemaking Skills
If men find the above list daunting, then they should at least be able to develop and demonstrate practical skills around the house. Tasks like mowing the lawn, and fixing things around the house are traditional male chores. Reading bedtime stories to young children is an optional extra.

Unfortunately, many professional men, often with names like Jeremy and Nigel, never helped their own father to perform manual tasks and they therefore lack these skills. Some are encouraged by their partners to enrol on evening classes in car mechanics.

6. Men should be Witty
This has become an essential trait. It is linked to an ability to communicate effectively. Many men find this a problem as they are naturally quiet or perhaps introspective or they may have a job which emphasises manual rather than verbal skills. Some male workers in the Information Technology sector fall into this category and are dismissively classified as geeks by women.

If a man is considered boring, then he will never make it with a woman. No matter how high he may score on all other attributes, the ability to amuse a woman is essential. This is rather strange as many men pursue brain dead Barbie style women, yet even Barbie will want her Ken to have witty and stimulating conversation.

Developing a sense of humour is not easy. Learning a selection of jokes may be a useful starting point, but a male needs to develop an awareness of potentially humorous situations and an ability to articulate these in an engaging way. Definitely a long term aim.

7. Men should be Distinctive
We all need to differentiate ourselves from the herd. Individuality and achievement are always highly valued by women. A skill or interest or hobby in music, sport, literature, art, poetry or whatever is highly regarded by a woman. It matters little whether the woman shares this interest, the point is that it reinforces a man’s identity and adds to his aura of inner strength.

Many men think that they need to give up their favourite hobby or pastime when they enter a serious relationship, as their partner will not share the interest. This is a mistake. It is important for a man to continue to define himself as an independent entity from his partner. Many men also welcome an opportunity to spend time away from their partner and life at home.

8. Men should be Good Lovers
Well, this must be mentioned, although it is considered by many to be highly overrated. In any sexual relationship, it is important to note and be responsive to the other person’s desires and wishes. Most women will let their partners know what they like and modern society allows and even encourages women to take the leading role in lovemaking.

Love is a subject that has had a lot of attention. People have written songs, books and poetry about it. In fact, love is one of the most written about subjects of all times. Love has a way of captivating people. It can turn even the most grounded person into a daydreamer. Love is such a perplexing subject that science has gotten involved to try to figure out just how loves works.

Scientists have discovered that love closely resembles addiction. The same chemical process that occurs in our body when we have an addiction occurs when we are in love. However, love is not so cut and dry.

Love is influenced by genetics and chemicals in our body, but it is also influenced by our experiences and our lives in general.

When a person falls in love their body produces many different chemicals. People who have been in love have no doubt felt the physical side effects that accompanies it. Sweaty palms and a racing heart are often common complaints when a person is falling in love. These physical effects are caused by the release of chemicals in the body, specifically, dopamine, norepinephrine and phenylethylamine. Dopamine is a chemical in the body that creates a feeling of pleasure when it is released. It is associated with many different activities, including love and addiction.

Scientists have also studied the human brain and how love affects it. One study examined the brain of a person who was looking at a picture of the person they were in love with. This brain scan showed increased blood flow in areas of the brain with a lot of dopamine receptors.

The findings of scientists suggest that love can be as much of a high as any drug. This natural high seems to change the body in the same ways addictions do. That explains much of the often crazy behavior people display when they are in love.

Even as love progresses chemicals still play a vital role. The body releases oxytocin and vasopressin to create feelings of attachment which help to keep that love addiction going strong.

Scientists believe that during the different stages of love, the chemicals produced play a large role in how people act. From the obsessive beginning state where lovers tend to obsess over each other to the more laid back, relaxed state of love that comes later, chemicals in the body play a crucial role.

So, while we may never be able to clearly define love or completely understand it, science has come a long way towards making it a bit easier to understand. They have made the connection between dopey love sick behavior and the body’s reactions to help us better see why people who are in love really can’t help the way they act.

Knowing how to deal with failure should be an important thing to learn when talking to women.

My advice is to get used to failure and learn from each experience. In fact, by taking the time to judge each interaction you’ll be able to work on your “attracting women skills”.

Like everything else we learn in life, there is a certain skill to attracting women. While some are naturals at it, most of us have had to work at developing this skill.

Now one of the most important skills you have to develop is your ability to carry a conversation. If you don’t how to speak to women, you’ll have little chance of success.

Here are a few different areas that’ll help build your conversation skills:

* Develop great openers which will be engaging

* Work on telling interesting stories

* Know how to project a cocky/funny attitude when in conversations with a woman

* Be great at teasing women that’ll spark attraction

With any skill, these conversation techniques won’t work that well at first. Over time, you will learn from your mistakes and increase your overall success.

Now the best talk to a woman is through the subtle use of flattery.

Basically flattery is a way to send a woman a positive message during your conversation. The problem is many guys use flattery the wrong way.

For instance, most guys make the mistake of complimenting a woman on a physical characteristic like her eyes or body. Typically this type of flattery doesn’t go well because it demonstrates you’re only interested in her outward appearance instead of “what she’s about”.

The correct way to use flattery is to comment on something which she can control. An example would be the way that she dresses. As we all know, women LOVE to plan what they wear and will agonize over every little fashion decision.

When you compliment her on an outfit, it’ll flatter her taste in clothing and demonstrates an approval of her style. Another benefit is complimenting her on the clothing she wears is subtle way to tell you’re attracted to her. It’s telling her she’s attractive without coming out and saying it.

So if you want to effectively impress a woman and learn how to develop your talking skill, make sure you flatter her in a way that compliments a something she can control. Then transition the conversation towards topics which demonstrate your higher value.
