Blake R. Templeton explains why couples miss each other's signals for intimacy. Partners often misread subtle cues, then label each other as distant. Ask your spouse directly what their intimacy signal looks like, learn it, and recognize it consistently.
Yes, so true. So if she initiates intimacy and he misses it, don't call her distant later. Like, some wives are not refusing intimacy. There's a signal, all right? Their signal is just not registering because you're in the wrong role to receive it. So instead of assuming she never initiates, ask her what her signal is. Define a physical signal and then learn that language, and she won't seem distant. She'll seem like the one pursuing.
