Intimacy involves a level of vulnerability with your partner

Although sexual desire is certainly a part of intimacy, what defines it is a strong yearning to know and be known by another person on a profoundly emotional level. Intimacy is something that you cannot obtain in a flash. However, it is built in a deeper manner. Unfortunately, not all of us are fortunate enough to find or experience the closeness that we all wanted. This is due to the fact that developing a close relationship with another person requires a lot. Intimacy is vulnerability, which only means you have to take a risk. Invest your emotion and face your fear.

Intimacy is acceptance

As I’ve mentioned, intimacy is vulnerability. This also means acceptance. Because before you can have the kind of intimacy in a relationship that you want. You must begin with self-acceptance. Learn to accept yourself, flaws and all, and accept the things that you think need acceptance. You will be the one to initiate it. It starts with you, prior to investing in a relationship with another person. Because even before you did that, he accepts you. When he starts pursuing you, you know he’s finally come to terms with you.

It is trust.

Building a strong bond requires not only sharing but also trusting one another. In the novel The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, there is a passage that suggests closeness and intimacy are frequently confused with sexual activity. Despite the fact that this is not the case. When you finally feel comfortable enough to tell someone the whole truth, it says so. When you can expose yourself to him. The fact that you can stand bare in front of him and he says, “you are safe with me,” you have reached a level of intimacy with that person.

If we want to grow closer to the people with whom we share our hearts and lives, we must be vulnerable enough to show them every side of ourselves, embrace our differences, find value in our arguments, and make deliberate choices about who we spend our time. And, when you do, you’ll find that your bond has grown stronger, and the two of you are filled with genuine happiness for one another.
