Are we close?Do I know you?You don't know me yet?This question often ask when your talking to someone that your not close.Im gonna talk about intimate relationship, why do we need this, and how it works?
An intimate relationship involves physical and emotional aspects. If two people have an intimate bond they will be together without hesitation and gap. Most marriages having a hard time creating close connections when both parties are always having a busy day and having a hard time finding time to get together.
It cannot be denied that there are married couples who became distant from each other and lost their intimacy in a relationship. Because they have no time for each other and also no constant communication. Communication set as a bridge for every couple or a family. When they have frequent communication the more they will become closer.
For Marriage
It also involves physical touch especially for married couples, and with sexual aspects. The more they have shown physical touch the more they became closer. A hug, kids are one of the factors that should never be lost with couples, especially when your spouses will leave from home or going to work. An intimate relationship will prosper and nothing to hide from each other but to tell the truth boldly. But when noticed that there is a gap already with the couple, chances are they have lost their intimate relationship. Howe, can we describe an intimate relationship? It has no fear to correct each other or even tell the truth.No boundaries settled each other but they both enjoy the freedom to choose their favorite color, food, and tell their greatest fear to each other.
For friendship
A friend is a person whom you can rely on and trust your deepest secret. A close friendship starts with openness with each other, share your opinions, and accepts everyone's mistakes. It cheers you up when you're feeling down and low, and not to laugh with your defeat moment.
For parents and child relationships
it is very important to build strong connections with each other. In my case, when I was a teenager, I didn't have a close relationship with my parents and I strive to become independent at my early age. I want to escape to stay away from them as much as possible. I felt that they just want to control my life with all of their do's and dont's, I find them so strict.Especially when they want me to marry a person which I don't like the most, that was the biggest disappointment that I felt.
But as of now when I got married I have realized their part that they just want me to have a better future just what we always hear from most parents. I think parents need to explain to their children about their actions and every time they say something so that it will not create a gap for both parents and child. Just like when a mother spanks her child without any explanation it will develop negative thoughts for them.
That is why intimacy is valuable in every type of relationship, and a family can live happily and successfully. Supporting each other and loving them from the bottom of our hearts.
Trust
Trust is one way to start an intimate relationship with each other like a husband to his wife, he needs to trust her to avoid conflict.
Parents towards their children, they need each other, to have a unified connection.
Acceptance
You know you’ve established some intimacy when you feel like a person accepts you for who you truly are.
Like a favorite music playlist, if he prefers rock and you want RNB, he likes dark colors and you like light colors. Knowing that both of you have differences is why accepting each other will give a much better benefit.
Intimacy doesn't happen in a flash
It requires time and to build this kind of intimacy, usually, it takes both parties to work hard for it, and it will also start in one side of the involved people.
The more you spend time with each other the more elements you can build to become closer.
It doesn't come easily like an instant coffee or mami
It takes trust to get intimate with other people, and considering that some people will just disappoint us despite our effort to create a good relationship, they may let us down.
If anyone will violate trust it will take a long time again to trust them again.
But once you achieve it can give health benefits.
It helps us to overcome loneliness and feeling rejected when there is someone closer to us, we can tell them. our secret and it helps us to unload our baggage.
It also helps us mentally, reducing your stress level as your feel-good hormones get a boost from touches like hugs and emotional release like laughter.
It's a good building block for a happy life.
Identify your triggers so that you can both set boundaries to have a reasonable adjustment in a relationship.
Set aside time to be with each other.
Talk about the goal to achieve a close relationship.
An intimate connection keeps the two different people to know each other and learn to love.
