3 ways to build intimacy in your relationship

It is important to have an emotional connection with your partner. It is all about opening up and expressing what you truly feel. A real relationship is about sharing your ups and downs and being comfortable around each other at every point of time. Your partner should fully know you and must love you for who you are. It is said that, the deeper is the intimacy the more honest your relationship is. When you are with your partner, you must get the feeling of being home.

Here are 3 ways to build intimacy in your relationship

Make time for deeply emotional conversations. When you share your thoughts and feelings, it makes your partner feel intimate. This is the time you will feel closest. Share your greatness and vulnerabilities. On the other hand, if your partner is expressing his/her feelings, make sure to be an active listener. Put your phone down and make eye contact. This will show that you really care about your partner. Ask each other how they feel and ask for opinions. Emotional intimacy is more important than physical intimacy. If the former is strong, the latter comes like a gift with it.

This means find reasons to touch your partner when is he is around. A healthy touch gets you closer. Tease your partner. Find moments to reach out to your partner. Give them big hugs after a long day. A healthy touch may be comforting if your partner is feeling low or is in a bad situation. This helps in making your emotional bond stronger. Make a habit to look into your partner’s eyes when there is a conversation. This helps in building some major intimacy and trust.
