Intimacy can also be established though the use of language. As humans, we love to feel loved. And many of us need to hear the words once in a while. But beyond saying, “I love you” to your partner, you can talk to each other about your attraction.

 

Tell your partner a story about the first time you realized you felt something stirring in your heart for him/her. You may even talk about the sex you have together and what about it is satisfying for you. Remember that the purpose of this is to help your partner feel loved. Sharing these kinds of private experiences deepens the connection you have with your partner.
