Nurture emotional intimacy in relationships from "summary" of Come As You Are: Revised and Updated by Emily Nagoski
When it comes to building strong, healthy relationships, nurturing emotional intimacy is essential. Emotional intimacy is the foundation upon which trust, connection, and understanding are built. It involves being open and vulnerable with your partner, sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a deep and meaningful way. In order to nurture emotional intimacy in your relationship, it's important to create a safe space where both partners feel heard, understood, and accepted. This means being present and fully engaged when your partner is sharing their thoughts and feelings, and responding with empathy and compassion. Communication is key when it comes to building emotional intimacy. It's important to not only share your own thoughts and feelings, but also to actively listen to your partner and validate their experiences. This involves being attentive, asking open-ended questions, and showing genuine interest in what your partner has to say. Another important aspect of nurturing emotional intimacy is being willing to be vulnerable with your partner. This means sharing your fears, insecurities, and vulnerabilities, and allowing yourself to be seen and accepted for who you truly are. This level of openness and honesty helps to deepen the connection between partners and foster a sense of trust and closeness. In addition to communication and vulnerability, it's also important to show your partner love and affection in both words and actions. Small gestures of kindness, acts of service, and physical touch all help to strengthen the emotional bond between partners and create a sense of closeness and connection.- Nurturing emotional intimacy in relationships requires a willingness to be open, vulnerable, and honest with your partner, as well as a commitment to communication, empathy, and validation. By creating a safe and supportive environment where both partners feel heard, understood, and accepted, you can cultivate a deep and meaningful connection that will strengthen your relationship and bring you closer together.
