The topic of love or intimacy in a relationship is always filled with complicated thoughts. Every relationship requires a good amount of time and effort to make it last longer. Shared intimacy both physically and emotionally goes a long way in helping to build and maintain a strong relationship.
The most incredible thing in life is to have someone to count on and be yourself without hesitation. As the topic of love comes up we also start discussing various ways through which we can get close with our partners.
You may come across various books and online platforms that will provide you with various ideas to support your relationship.
Here are a few ideas for anyone looking to build intimacy with their partner:
- Go First:
Take the first step and initiate a conversation by revealing something personal that you haven’t shared before. Be vulnerable. Emotional and physical intimacy are backed by something deeply personal. Allow your partner to share their views on the same topic.
- Discuss and act out a fantasy:
We enjoy a world of fantasy as they portray our thoughts. When someone asks you “What is your fantasy?” This can start a connected conversation but only when you are willing to do legwork too. This is an easy step as it will avoid making the situation awkward for the other party. By discussing the fantasy you can connect with your partner’s life.
- Invite them in:
One way to know more about your partner is to invite them into your life as a guest. I know guests are not permanent members rather they are temporary. But when you invite them as your guest you will try to prove yourself as a good host for them. You will only focus on their accomplishments and dreams instead of yours.
- Be a comfort:
Everyone likes to be comforted in their toughest situation. You only have to figure out the way through which you can comfort your partner. A couple can have one conversation to build intimacy: “How can I help you when you are suffering?”. Although you cannot magically remove the pain and sufferings your partner is facing only with words, at least this will be the best way to prove that you are with them during their rough times.
- Admit when you first fell in love with them:
Don’t be conservative about your feelings for your partner. Every relationship or conversation requires a booster and your love confession is the best booster to move forward in your conversation. When you confess your true feelings to your partner or tell them the time when you first fell in love with them, it helps to make the bond stronger. Your partner won’t speak much about it but they will like to listen to you. That moment is like a confirmation you see it in her eyes beyond the shadow of a doubt.
- Discuss your romance:
This final step will push you closer to your partner. When you start describing every single romantic moment you experienced with your partner, this is the moment when you will be making them feel special about themselves. If a couple can discuss this openly with each other, that will automatically build a sense of intimacy and togetherness.
Don’t just expect your partner to be the one to get started. Instead, assume that they are as ambivalent about it as you are. Remember what you are trying to accomplish and then move forward with your plan.
