It’s that time of year when persons give up just about anything in an effort to be at peace, especially spiritually. People give up meat, sugar and its byproducts, TV viewing, shopping, eating out and even sex. Yes, SEX! Some make the sacrifice and give up the awesome, love inspired, nerve touching, lip biting, toe curling and soul rendering activity for a whole of 40 days and 40 nights. So no “slumba-dash”, no “knockin boots”, no “doing the deed”. The question is, Can you?
They say anything is possible if you put your mind to it. And to add some perspective to the situation, giving up sex does not mean giving up intimacy, in fact it lends for a greater level of intimacy in other ways.
For instance, now is the ideal time to revisit regular dating with your partner. Remember that period of your relationship when dating was ‘in’? Now is the time for a throwback. Whatever you choose to do together, use the chance to explore old and new things together, which will give you further insight into your partner, setting the tone for deep soul searching and reminders of why you fell in love with them in the first place, fueling a deeper connection and added intimacy.
Sex isn’t the only way to ‘play’ with your partner. Board games, video games, sporting activities and even pillow fights are great options. You can both reintroduce your fun loving side which can also reignite that high level of desire and intimacy between you two. Don’t forget all those movies you had both planned to watched together, but didn’t because you were too busy “boinking”. Now is the time to get out that list, load up Netflix, grab some popcorn and start viewing! Watching your favorite movies together can be a nice bonding moment that gives you something to talk about later.
