Intimacy plays a vital role in a successful marriage from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, PhD,Nan Silver
Intimacy is a crucial component of a thriving marriage. When partners are emotionally connected and feel close to each other, their bond becomes stronger and more resilient. Intimacy involves a deep level of trust, vulnerability, and emotional openness between partners. It requires a willingness to share one's innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires with their spouse. Cultivating intimacy in a marriage involves creating a safe and supportive environment where both partners feel comfortable expressing themselves authentically. This means actively listening to each other, validating each other's feelings, and showing empathy and understanding. Intimacy also involves physical closeness and affection, such as hugging, kissing, and holding hands. These small gestures of love and affection help reinforce the emotional connection between partners. When couples prioritize intimacy in their relationship, they are better equipped to navigate challenges and conflicts together. Intimacy fosters a sense of unity and partnership, allowing couples to work as a team to overcome obstacles and grow together. It also strengthens the emotional bond between partners, creating a sense of security and stability in the relationship. In contrast, a lack of intimacy can lead to feelings of loneliness, disconnection, and resentment in a marriage. When partners do not feel emotionally connected or supported by each other, it can erode the foundation of the relationship and lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Without intimacy, couples may struggle to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and maintain a strong sense of closeness and connection. Therefore, it is essential for couples to prioritize intimacy in their marriage in order to foster a strong and healthy relationship. By nurturing emotional closeness, trust, and vulnerability, partners can deepen their connection and create a solid foundation for a successful and fulfilling marriage.
