1. Changes in sexual feelings in marriage

Sexual feelings in marriage often change over time, and this is a very common phenomenon. Initially, in the newlywed stage, passion and excitement are often at a high level. According to psychologists, this is the time when both people spend a lot of time and energy getting to know each other, exploring and satisfying each other's sexual needs. However, over time, when the novelty gradually disappears and the pressures of daily life begin to increase, sexual feelings can also be negatively affected.

Psychologists believe that one of the main reasons for this change is the repetition and lack of innovation in sex life. When couples fall into a familiar "rut", boredom can arise. Sometimes, both partners are too busy with work, children, and other responsibilities, leading to not spending enough time together, both physically and mentally. Psychologists often find that the stress of daily life is a big factor in the decline in sex life.

Physiological changes also play a role in altering sexual feelings. Age, hormonal changes, and health problems can reduce sexual desire and make it difficult to maintain intimacy. This, according to psychologists, can lead to feelings of distance and dissatisfaction in the relationship. Managing emotions during these times is important, and support from a psychologist can help couples find ways to overcome these challenges.

Furthermore, emotional changes in a marriage can also stem from psychological factors such as lack of confidence, anxiety about appearance, or feelings of not being loved or respected. These factors can make one or both partners feel uncomfortable or anxious in bed, thereby affecting the quality of their sex life. Psychologists can help couples better understand these changes and guide them on how to control their emotions, reduce stress, and rekindle the flame of love.

2. Things to do to change emotions in marriage

To renew sexual feelings in marriage, couples need to focus on increasing communication and understanding of each other. Being open about desires, expectations, and difficulties in sexual life is the first step to solving problems. Psychologists often recommend that couples engage in activities together, create new memories, and explore new experiences to stimulate sexual feelings. This may include changing the environment, trying new approaches to sex, or simply spending more time together without being interrupted by work or other responsibilities.

In addition, emotional control is an important factor in renewing sexual life. Nervous tension and pressure from daily life can negatively affect sexual desire. Relaxation techniques, such as meditation, yoga or physical activities, can help reduce nervous tension and create a more positive environment for sexual life. Psychologists can guide couples on how to control emotions, thereby facilitating the renewal of sexual feelings in marriage.

Renewing your sexual life in marriage is essential to maintaining a happy and lasting relationship. The support of a psychologist can help couples better understand the importance of sex, how to control emotions and reduce stress. By making small but meaningful changes in daily life, couples can renew their sexual feelings and build a stronger marital relationship. Open discussion, stress management and always creating new experiences will help couples maintain closeness and satisfaction in their relationship.
