Many people think that when they are at this age, why do they still need to have an intimate relationship with their partner? But it is still important and beneficial to health even in old age. Studies have found that couples who maintain intimate relationships are able to live longer and healthier lives. Stress can also be reduced and stay happy together.

There are several ways for couples to further and maintain their relationship even when they are older. Among the ways that couples can do are:

• Accepting a partner as it is

Any physical changes that happen to a couple should be accepted and we should be aware that the changes that happen are a normal thing in the golden age. We must always be open -minded. Intimate relationships are not necessarily just about intercourse. It can also mean   touches, kisses and hugs between couples.

• Adopt a healthy and balanced diet

The practice of a healthy and balanced diet can prevent us from getting any chronic diseases or obesity. These dangerous diseases can lower the ability and desire to be together.

• Get rid of bad habits

We also have to get rid of all bad habits like smoking or drinking alcohol because these things can affect the feelings. Plus, we must always communicate with each other. This communication really helps us to understand the needs and problems of our partner. With  good communication with each other, miscommunication can also be avoided so there is not much of a quarrel.

So do not think that when you are old, you do not need to maintain an intimate connection with your partner anymore. As the saying goes, life must be enjoyed!
