Jacqueline Elliott (YouTube) explains how to keep intimacy alive in long-term relationships by maintaining a sense of newness and continually showing appreciation and attraction. She argues intimacy fades when partners take each other for granted, so individuals should ‘prove’ themselves daily in roles like spouse and parent and actively demonstrate attraction and effort.

How do you keep intimacy alive in a long term relationship? I think the reason why intimacy really dies in a long term relationship is because there's no newness. When you keep the newness alive in anything that you do, whether it's an intimacy, whether it's in your job, anything that you do, once you take it for granted or you kind of are not excited about it anymore, it all goes dead. Look at it like it's the beginning all the time. You have to prove yourself constantly as a parent, as a spouse, as, you know, a business person. Like, how am I going to prove myself every single day that I have the best life in the world? How am I going to show my spouse that I'm still attracted to him? Keep that newness there. Just go in and show him what you're trying to prove, that you are that guy, you are that girl that deserves to have a chance at him and don't take them for granted.
