• Serve each other: a great way to get closer to your spouse is to serve them. Service is unselfish and total love, it means that you put aside yourself and think of the needs of another person. When you do this for your spouse, you can't help but get closer because you get rid of your selfishness.
• Have open discussions about everything: one good way to get closer to your spouse is to talk, and not just talk some, but talk a lot. Talk about the weather, politics, sex, television, your children, disease, the past, anything, just talk.talk.talk. The more you talk, the closer you will get. It is through conversation that you get to know each other's views, opinions, ways of thinking, etc. So, it really does not matter what you talk about as long as you talk.
• Walk in each other's shoes: many times the distance between you and your spouse comes from not really understanding the other's way of thinking. We all grow up with our own set of values, thoughts, and ways of thinking, the problem is, they aren't going to be the same thoughts as your spouse. So, the differences cause distance. If you spend some time in the other person's shoes, and gain a better understanding of why they think the way they think, you will instantly get closer.
• Have a weekly date night: you met your spouse, knew nothing about them, and then got to know them really well. How did you get closer to them? You dated. You dated regularly. You did not just date once every few months, you went out a few times a week. So, start dating again. It won't make sense to try and date every night, as that would be expensive and you probably would not be able to find the time, but one night a week is perfect. If you have kids, get a babysitter. Trade nights with someone else if money is tight. Make room in your schedule, and make room in your budget, date night is one of the best ways to get closer to your spouse.
• Work together: most people think that the only way to get closer to your spouse is to play together. However, working together is equally important. You should spend time washing the dishes, folding the laundry, and doing other daily chores, together. When you do the good and the bad together, you will get closer.
• Play games: spending time together watching television is not going to get you much closer to your spouse, so what can you do at home in the evenings? Try playing games, invite over other couples, or play one on one, but play!

Sometimes it is difficult to get closer to your spouse, but it is well worth it, so try implementing the above tips into your daily life, and see how much better your marriage can be.
