Introduction

Intimacy is a very important aspect in a love relationship. It measures where your relationship is going and it can be different in terms of degree from one relationship to another.

In this book you’ll find methods that will help make your other half feel more attractive, appreciated, excited, listened to and, most of all, loved. This book will outline how to solve intimacy problems in order to have a healthy and strong relationship you really deserve. When they feel these positive emotions, they will respond in kind, bringing back the connection that brought you two together to begin with.

The most common expression of intimate communication can be done by directly expressing your feelings by means of words or implying it through actions. The primary basis of intimacy is trust as well as the context of the relationship, not to mention the culture in which the individuals grew up in. For emphasis, intimacy may differ from one individual to another depending on conventions and the physical, cultural, and behavioral backgrounds of the individual participants. Also, it usually involves full disclosure of emotions, feelings, and thoughts between individuals in order to attain a high degree of understanding which results in a stronger foundation of mutual support.

Read on and you will have a better idea of how to improve intimacy in your relationship with concepts and ideas that you probably already know but you often fail to recognize.

Chapter 1: What is Intimacy?

Intimacy is being able to stay emotionally close to your partner. To love your spouse entirely, you need to lower your guard, and let them know how you really feel. It involves acceptance in sharing with regard to your feelings for one another.

Intimacy sometimes doesn't need words. It signifies affection and love; in some cases, it includes pain, sadness, happiness, and appreciation. The beauty of intimacy is that you allow yourself to be expressive with your partner. It helps you in discovering your relationship in a higher form.

The feeling of intimacy allows you to be emotionally close and connected to your spouse. In order to make an intimate marriage, you need to have the desire to share your innermost thoughts and emotions. Most intimate relationships are characterized by mutual trust, acceptance, attitude, and sharing moments.

It is learned within families and that's why intimacy is felt from the day you were born. Your parents showed you intimate love, and somehow, you learned to transform that love into something deeper.

Intimacy also requires emotional risks. When you share your personal details and stories with your partner, it entails that you risk exposing your most near and dear stories and details. This is the hardest part in marriage, but I assure you that when the right time comes, you will be able to trust your partner completely. It is important to know that marriage is something you need to work on, and you have all the time in the world to do so.

This doesn't mean we are being intimate with each other; we had to work things out to be able to share a bond more than just sexual intimacy.

The answer of having an intimate relationship is: loving yourself first. You have to like and know yourself. Perhaps, try discovering yourself. There are social scientists who tell patients to get to know themselves first in order to know their value as a person. By doing this, you will be able to identify your innermost feelings and needs; this develops security when you try being intimate with your partner.

You know that you will not be rejected or ridiculed by them because you trust their love for you. To create an emotional bond, caring would be your core competency. Caring allows intimacy to grow because when you care about each other, you acknowledge their needs and interest. You know them and it is easy for you to sacrifice things for them.

Understanding Yourself

In order to better understand your partner and be better in the field of emotional intimacy, it might be helpful if you understand yourself first. Knowing oneself can be the key to life’s mysteries and it can be the solution to all your problems and the answers to your questions. But this can be a great challenge for you because
