Read More »Intimacy is the feeling of closeness and belonging we have in our personal relationships. It is a familiar and very close emotional connection with someone. This connection grows when we form a bond with someone that is based on knowledge of each other, and shared experiences. Genuine intimacy in relationships requires communication, honesty, vulnerability and reciprocity. It needs to go both ways. We become more intimate with someone as we share more of ourselves with them – more time, and more knowledge about ourselves. Intimacy often grows naturally in relationships, especially in the early stages. To sustain a long-term relationship, however, we need to develop and maintain an awareness of ourselves, our partner and the relationship. To continue growing closer to each other, we need to engage in various forms of intimacy — and there are quite a few forms of intimacy! Different people have different preferred styles of being intimate. We all have our own quirks as to how we express our care for someone, and our own expectations of how others will show us they care. A lot of the time, this is all unspoken. We’re often not even really consciously aware of it. Sometimes two individuals can have such different styles of expressing care and intimacy that they can go unnoticed. As such, it is not uncommon for individuals in long-term relationships to feel that their intimacy requirements are not being met. Often what is really happening is that each partner in the relationship has a different intimacy style. Therefore it’s important that we each understand the ways in which the other partner ‘expresses’ their love and care.
