What is Intimacy Anorexia?
Why Is Intimacy Important?
How Can I Improve Intimacy?
1. Make Time For Deep Emotional Talks
Deep conversations can foster emotional intimacy. Take a break from thinking about office tension or household chores. Sharing your thoughts and feelings at the end of the day. Do not constantly assess or evaluate your partner when he or she is speaking. Listening without judgment.
2. Express Gratitude To Your Partner For Little Things
Expressing gratitude even on little things is the best way to show your love and affection towards your partner. Include “Thank You” and “I love you” in your daily conversations.
3. Try New Things Together
Research has shown that learning new things together can strengthen the emotional bonds between spouses. You can try anything new: attend cooking classes or participate in a new sport. This rekindles the spark and makes you feel like a team.
According to Dr. Gottman, “Every positive action in a relationship is foreplay.”
So, spend time with your partner.
4. Make Sex A Priority
Many couples put sex far down on their priority list. Make physical intimacy a priority and ;maintain physical connection. Also, sex needs may change with time. Therefore, break up the routine and try some new things. You can try new sex positions or places to keep your sex-life healthy and exciting.
