What you need to know:

  • What we think of our partner will affect how intimate we can be with them.
  • Therefore, partners need to look at sex as a relationship and an avenue to express love.

We rarely talk about sex publicly, even if it is to gain positive learning.

A lot about it is shrouded in mystery, making dirty films and magazines gain the upper hand in serving as “education” tools on the subject.

God intended sex to be enjoyed within the context of marriage.

The brain plays an important part in the conceptualisation and enjoyment of sex.

What we think of our partner will affect how intimate we can be with them. Therefore, partners need to look at sex as a relationship and an avenue to express love.

A recommended read is Sex on the Brain by Daniel G. Amen. The book suggests the following ways to make your love life unforgettable:

1. Take your partner’s breath away:

Learning to do something amazing and thoughtful and out of the ordinary causes the event to remain solidified in your partner’s limbic brain.

2. Do something special for your partner on a regular basis:

Doing unforgettable things for your partner on a regular basis makes them think about you always. It is the reinforcement of thoughtfulness that makes a difference.

3. Do something special unpredictably:

Avoid being so predictable. This helps to add spice and expectancy in the relationship.

4. Make frequent loving eye contact:

This enhances connection and bonding.

5. Learn what pleases your partner sexually:

Your partner’s pleasure should be your pleasure too. If you only find joy in pleasing yourself, you are being selfishness.

6. Teach your partner what you like:

You cannot assume that your partner knows what you want or like. There are some actions, if included in sexual intimacy, can be offensive and end up putting your partner off.

7. Sexual novelty can boost lasting love:

While some people like routine, others find it boring and desire variation and new challenges.

8. Do something a little edgy:

Try and capture your partners heart and keep it on the upbeat.

9. Use every sense:

Getting the skill of capturing your partner’s senses helps to keep them engaged.

10. Summarise and immortalise loving moments:

Journaling or taking pictures of memorable outings, anniversaries, and birthdays could help embed beautiful memories in the mind.
