INTIMACY in romantic relationships helps to understand the feelings and needs of your partner better. In today’s generation forming digital bonds is of more importance than sharing emotional intimacy. Every relationship requires intimacy on a level to form a strong bond. Due to hectic schedules and less time, it becomes difficult to even share a deep conversation with our partner.

Technology and easy means of communication have made it easy to share conversations but they do not count as intimacy. Therefore, we bring you some effective ways to build intimacy in your relationship and make it strong.

1. Communication

Having a face-to-face and honest conversation with your partner enhances intimacy and strengthens the relationship. It is a vital step to building intimacy. Disclosing each other’s vulnerabilities, and sharing fears and memories can deepen your relationship.

2. Physical Touch

Intimate or physical touch such as hugs, kisses, and holding hands release hormones in the body that promote feelings of love and attachment. Random touches can be an effective pathway to maintain intimacy in your relationship.

3. Shared Experiences

Sharing hobbies such as traveling, painting, cooking, etc can help you spend more time with each other and understand one another in better ways. These experiences not only create beautiful memories but also let you both share an emotional bond through similar shares of interest.

4. Support

This is a very important aspect of a romantic relationship. The ups and downs of life tend to make us feel overwhelmed and sad. In such times, extending your emotional support as empathy to your partner can go a long way in building a long-lasting relationship. Motivating and encouraging them to do things they like is an expression of love.

5. Quality Time

Taking time out from your hectic schedules and spending time with each other helps in increasing feelings of safety, loyalty, and trust. This intimate time helps you to connect with each other on deeper levels, understand each other better, and build an emotional connection.
