Here are six reasons to be more physically intimate with your spouse:

An Expression Of Love

It is always quite difficult to tell at first glance if what you feel is lust or love because the feeling is initially very similar and it comes rushing at you with no control and wants to swallow you up. They say love is blind but lust is equally blind because you cannot see what is true even if it is staring at you right in the face. You have to understand that there is a line between lust and love.

It is really painful when you lose the love that you thought would be forever and you stop yourself from falling in love again because it is not worth the pain. It is understandable if you make that decision but it is also possible you might lose out on a love that could have been fruitful.

For many of us we often have it at the back of our minds that the traditional wedding vow should mostly be "for better, for worse", "for richer, for poorer", "in sickness and in health" and of course "till death us do part", but there is one that people tended to forget.
