Body Language Amongst Couples

Posted on December 13, 2008 in Tips for A Husband, Tips for A Wife

Body language plays a very important role in keeping up marital relationships. Staying together for long causes one to take the other for granted and the small basic things that are essential for the survival of a relationship are overlooked upon.

Here are some important tips on body language that will help you develop a greater and a stronger bond between couples.

1)    Eye Contact: Wives always complain that their husbands are not listening to them and Husbands always complain that their wives seek too much attention. However, this problem can be solved if couples learn to look at each other while communicating. When the wives are talking, husbands tend to be busy watching TV or are on the phone for long. On the other hand wives tend to talk to their husbands when they are not in the mood to listen to them, conflict therefore is inevitable. It is therefore important that a right time be selected and a conversation where the couple has eye-eye contact happens.
2)    Smile: Couples tend to smile less and frown more at the other. It is very important that they smile at each other, as smile indicates happiness at the other person’s presence.
3)    Positive Affirmation: A discussion among a couple most of the time ends up in a fight. This is because there is lack of positive affirmation. Positive affirmation like a nod in agreement, a smile, non-verbal sounds like hmmm, yeah etc makes a lot of difference.

4)    Unlock Your Posture: Do not be very rigid in the way you sit, stand or walk. Folding your hands and crossing your legs denote defensive and disinterest in the person who is speaking. When talking to your spouse be more free, touch the person while talking, ruffle his/hair gently, cross your arm around etc. All these symbols denote affection.

Keep these points in mind and have a lovely marriage.

    my boyfriend and I slept in the same bed for 3 nites…the first nitehe was facing me. holding, kissing me through the night. The second night the same affection ensued but the 3rd night which is tonight he slept either with his bacl towards mr or if his back wasn’t towards me his arms were seperating us so that it was virtually impossible for me to lie on his chest ot for me to lie on him period. Does this mean anything or am I just being paranoid?
