How to improve the closeness and intimacy in a relationship?
7 things that will definitely improve the closeness and intimacy in a relationship.
- Dishonesty and Silence: Intimacy wants honesty and openness. It is important that you always honest and openness with your partner, parent or with anybody. To be close to an important person, we need to be able to share what is true and real about us and we must be ready to hear someone else's truth. Silence, it is really a bat thing, if you not share any thing with anybody, how they will understand. Sometimes we think that it is best to not say anything at all if it means it may hurt our partner. So please ignore this silence because there is no opportunity for the relationship to grow with integrity.
- Lack of trust: Sometimes there is no dishonesty in the relationship, but still a lack of trust exists. Maybe healthy trust has never been a part of your life. For healthy and good relationships you need to trust someone on the present actions of a person.
