What are some basic steps couples can follow to rebuild basic communication and bring intimacy back into their relationship amidst the pressures of midlife change?
Be humble and forgiving. This is not the time to take a dramatic stand and maintain pure righteousness. Chances are, there are some secret hurts that need mending; unspoken slights and deep wounds that can fester. Better to over-forgive than to under-communicate. A little warmth will go a long way now, even if there has been a drought. Most couples are hungrier for affection than they would care to admit. The magic of the gentle touch and the kind word should not be overlooked.
