Ah, marriage. That thing they say is ‘for better or worse,’ right? But let me tell ya, one thing that’s gotta stick around in a marriage is desire. Now, don’t go thinking I mean just the kind of desire you read about in those fancy magazines. Nah, I’m talkin’ about the deeper stuff, the kind of thing that keeps you connected even when the day-to-day life tries to pull you apart.
First off, let me tell ya what I mean by desire. It ain’t just about wanting a fancy dinner or a new pair of shoes, although I ain’t gonna lie, those things are nice too. Desire, in a marriage, is about wanting the other person. It’s about that little spark, that little flame that keeps you feelin’ alive together. Without it, let me tell ya, a marriage starts to feel like two old socks just thrown in the drawer. But with it, well, the marriage has a bit of warmth, a bit of life to it.
Now, you might be askin’, “But how do you keep that spark goin’ when you’ve been married for years, or decades even?” Well, it ain’t easy. Like the old folks used to say, “You gotta keep the fire stoked, or it’ll go out.” And that’s true! Desire ain’t just about what you do in the bedroom, no sir. It’s about all the little things you do outside it too.
- Trust and Communication – You can’t have desire if you don’t trust each other. It’s like tryin’ to grow a plant in the wrong kind of soil. It just won’t work. And communication? Well, that’s just as important. You gotta talk about things, even the little things. Like what makes you happy, what’s botherin’ you, or what you dream about. When you share them things, you build a deeper bond, and that bond fuels the desire.
- Loyalty and Friendship – Desire thrives best when you’ve got a solid foundation. And what’s a solid foundation? Loyalty. Being there for each other, no matter what. And don’t forget friendship! If you’re not friends with your spouse, then what are you really? Friends laugh together, they support each other, and they show up when things get tough. That kind of friendship keeps desire alive.
- Keeping Things Fun – Now, don’t just think desire is all serious business. Heck no! Sometimes, you gotta be a little playful, a little spontaneous. Maybe take a surprise trip, or cook a silly dinner together. When you do these things, you remind each other that life doesn’t have to be all work and worry. Keeping things fun adds a little spice to the relationship, and we all know a little spice makes things interesting.
And listen, when you’re married, you gotta understand that desire ain’t always about some big, dramatic moment. No sir. Sometimes, it’s the small things. You know, like that little touch on the arm while you’re watching TV, or sharing a cup of coffee in the morning, just you two. Those little moments build up over time, and they become the glue that holds everything together.
But here’s the thing, desire also needs space to grow. Just like a garden, if you’re always smothering it, it won’t thrive. You gotta give each other room to be yourselves, to grow as individuals. That way, when you come back together, you’ve got more to share, more to offer. It’s like when you let the flowers bloom—beautiful, unexpected, and full of life.
Another thing to remember is that marriage isn’t always about big gestures. Sure, a romantic dinner or a surprise gift can be nice, but real desire comes from being seen and heard. Sometimes, all you need is to listen to your spouse, really listen. Show them you care about their dreams, their worries, their little quirks. That’s what keeps things real and keeps the desire alive.
And I’ll tell you this—don’t expect it to always be easy. Desire, just like anything in life, needs work. Some days, you’ll feel closer than ever, and other days, well, you might feel like you’re a million miles apart. But if you keep at it, if you nurture that connection, desire will find a way to come back. It’s like tending to a fire—sometimes it burns bright, sometimes it flickers, but as long as you’re stoking the coals, it won’t ever go out completely.
So, if you’re lookin’ to keep the desire alive in your marriage, don’t just sit back and wait for it to happen. Work at it every day. Love your spouse, respect ‘em, talk to ‘em, laugh with ‘em, and always be there when they need you. Desire is a beautiful thing, but it don’t stay on its own. You gotta keep it fed, keep it nurtured, and it’ll keep you both warm for many years to come.
