In today’s episode of Couch Time, I’m sharing a replay of one of my favorite episodes. In this episode, I did something a little different.  It was inspired by a book written by Everett Worthington called Hope-Focused Marriage. I have used these suggestions many times in my counseling sessions with married couples so I hope you enjoy! 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• C- Change actions to positive.  What is something that is negative that you could change to positive?
• L- Loving romance- Try to show romance again.  What did you do at the beginning of your relationship?
• E- Employ a calendar- Rearrange your calendar and add in positive events that bring back time together. 
• A- Adjust intimacy elsewhere- Husbands and wives have different levels of intimacy. Figure out what level you need. 
• V- Value your partner- Valuing love builds intimacy.  When we feel valued, we feel closer to the one who loves us. 
• E- Enjoy yourself sexually- learn to communicate better in the bedroom

This episode is short and sweet, but value-packed, so I hope you tune in.
