Five Couple Apps That Bring Intimacy Back into Relationships
Love is tricky. You want to be with your significant other at all times. You crave their touch and their proximity. But if the connection – both mental and physical – isn't strong, misunderstandings and misalignment are common especially during long distance spells away from your partner. It's like you want to melt into your sweetheart but circumstances hold you back. We have all been through these frustrating phases right? Work and education take you away from your beloved. There are an estimated 14 million long distance relationships (LDR) in the US alone and almost 3.5 million married couples consider themselves in LDRs. Even if you stay around the block from each other, life manages to find you distractions and anxiety to leach the passion from your relationship. But thankfully technology is here to save the day. The apps of today are not just utilities like torches and noise detectors anymore. They are delving deep into the matters of the heart as well, helping lovers know each other better, be constant companions and even rock the bed in new and innovative ways. All with a swipe of the thumb! Here are five top rated and highly reviewed apps that are changing the game for couples. ⦁ iPassion Price: Free Imagine getting up close and personal with your lover.

Yet talking about what turns you on and gives your significant other thrills is an essential part of a great relationship. And iPassion does its bit to ease you into the habit of asking "What do you want?" without feeling challenged or rejected. With this application you: ⦁ Play a game of "Do you know" with your partner ⦁ Are served two questions about your in-relationship likes and the answers are saved ⦁ Get to see how closely your lover knows your quirks as they try to guess your replies The process is repeated with your significant other and the one who reaches 100 points first can choose a "hot" prize – like a date night or an erotic massage – that the happy "loser" has to facilitate. iPassion allows you to customize prizes and it even supports same-sex gameplay, talk about being politically correct.
