You have to implement all parts of the different intimacies. You have to have lots of experiences and not run from the conflict. You need to find different ways to work together and learn what each person see as beautiful. Create a life together and go to church together. Do be hermits together but go out into society and attend parties and other events. Allow each other to cry or rage when they need to. Dont manipulate the other person’s emotions let them have their feelings.Doing this will allow you to have the strong trusting bond your wife needs so that she can have the physical intimacy that you want.
