Everybody dreams of a perfect relationship full of intimacy, passion and commitment! But no one realizes the real meaning of intimacy! Intimacy isn't always about sex; it is rather a huge daddy term that encapsulates the entire charm and meaning of a relationship that two people share together. There are different kinds of connections, if you think you are lacking intimacy in your relationship, you can work on other connections to create an everlasting full-of-intimacy relationship!

Emotional Intimacy

Sharing emotional needs and feelings about each other is the most important aspect of healthy relationship. You can express your loving feelings and care with words and even with actions. If you feel shy about expressing your innermost feelings, you can also write them in a form of poem or just a simple note to let your partner know you care. You have to be understanding towards your partners' emotional needs and do your best to satisfy them.

Sexual Intimacy

Sexual intimacy is again another big factor that plays an important role in keeping relationships alive. But always remember sexual intimacy and emotional intimacy are interdependent on each other. Most men need sexual intimacy to be more emotionally open, and most women need emotional intimacy to be more sexually open. It's more of a 'Give to Get' mantra here. Keep sex interesting by trying on different techniques and places and do your best to fulfill your partners' sexual needs.

Intellectual Intimacy

A relationship isn't always about emotions. It also needs sharing of ideas and views and learning something from each other. To build intellectual intimacy, you can read books together and share your ideas and discuss about your mutual favorite topics. Moreover, sharing about your classes, job, daily activities is also another way to grow together and understand each other fully.

Recreational Intimacy

Doing fun things together creates recreational intimacy, which is very healthy for a relationship to remain fresh and youthful. This could be going to sporting events, music concerts, going out to eat, going out for a walk. The times spent doing fun activities together can immensely bring couples closer to each other.

Work Intimacy

This doesn't require you two to be colleagues, you can build work intimacy by studding together or helping each other preparing work presentations or even helping one another in home chores. If your partner doesn't want to sleep because he has work to do, you can help him with some of his work instead of sleeping alone, and you never know how much that simple act of kindness will bring you two closer, building work intimacy.

Spiritual Intimacy

Being able to connect in your values and beliefs about life and faith and praying for each other connects you with spiritual intimacy. You don't always have to agree about each other's beliefs but respect is important in order to get connect this way.

Physical Intimacy

Physical intimacy is different from sexual intimacy. Men actually need more physical intimacy. They love cuddling and spending time together physically. Small gestures like holding hands, kissing, hugging, putting your arm around your partner and massage are tender acts of showing your love and affection. Do not keep them limited to sex, but also maintain physical intimacy, even when you are in public or doing other things.

Creative Intimacy

Creating intimacy is actually creating something together. It can be a painting, a recipe or even a plant, but it has to be something you both created together! And believe me the joy of companionship will double when you both will see your created thing together. Always make sometime on the weekends to engage in some creating work of cooking and feeding each other your handmade food.

Conflict Intimacy

Conflicts are inevitable and you have to understand that even while living in a relationship, each person is individual! Instead of fighting or nagging about conflicts, learn to respect and appreciate each other's uniqueness and resolve your issues in a friendly way. Resolving conflicts and being able to agree or disagree can actually strengthen the relationship.

Crisis Intimacy

Everybody goes through some tough times in life. Be it the job, family or anything. Being able to support each other emotional and mentally in tough times is Crisis Intimacy. And you will be surprised to realize that crisis intimacy is actually much stronger than any kind of intimacy, because everyone is there for you in sunshine, but when it rains, people usually leave you alone. Hence the one, who will be there through thick and thin will definitely become the most important part of your life.

So don't complain if your relationship is lacking something, instead work on other aspects to connect to a stronger level and you will eventually feel, the passion which was once lacking, has been rebuild again with a stronger energy!
