Many couples struggle with keeping the fire alive, especially when children and busy schedules can really complicate things, but Jill Duggar has some advice for couples looking to spice things up.
In a new blog post, the star of TLC's Counting On opened up about her marriage and how she and her husband stay intimate. Her advice might surprise you!
Jill is the second oldest daughter of the Duggar family and the fourth oldest of all the children.
The couple is set to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary this month. Congrats Jill and Derick!
They welcomed their first son, Israel, back in 2015. Little Samuel joined the family in 2017. The Duggar family just keeps getting bigger! I've lost count of how many grandchildren Jim Bob and Michelle have now.
In a new post titled "More Than Sex: How To Love Your Husband", Jill offers some advice to married couples on how to keep the romance alive in their relationship.
And she really means just you and your spouse, so if you have any children, that means distracting them or sending them outside to play so the two of you can have some cherished alone time.
Now, this is definitely something we can all get behind. It's easy to forget about these little things when you get comfortable in a relationship.
"Have sex often! You both need this time together regularly (3-4 times a week is a good start. lol)," writes Jill.
"Get new lingerie (online is an easy way to buy!) as a surprise gift for birthdays, holidays, vacations or whenever!" she said.
These include having date nights, phone-free time in the evenings, and having meaningful conversations every night.
This Instagram user pointed out that intimacy will look different in every marriage, and they are absolutely right.
This Instagram user was thankful for the tips Jill gave, as she feels she and her spouse are struggling after many years of marriage.
Like, calling your husband a fun or sweet nickname and "give at least a 6 second kiss when coming and going."
It's important to remember that Jill's advice is based on her own experiences and definitely won't work for each couple, and that's okay.
I think this is a great idea! It would be awesome to see some specific tips written for men on how they can help keep the romance alive. Derick, are you up for the challenge?
