Prioritize intimacy from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.

Intimacy is a crucial element in any successful marriage. It is the cornerstone of a strong and healthy relationship. When couples prioritize intimacy, they are making a conscious effort to connect with each other on a deep emotional level. Intimacy goes beyond physical touch; it encompasses emotional vulnerability, trust, and communication. Couples who prioritize intimacy are willing to share their thoughts, feelings, and fears with each other. They create a safe space where both partners feel heard and understood. It is important for couples to make time for each other and nurture their connection. This means setting aside distractions and focusing on each other. Quality time spent together is essential for building intimacy and strengthening the bond between partners. Communication is key when it comes to intimacy. Couples should be open and honest with each other, expressing their needs and desires. Effective communication can help resolve conflicts and prevent misunderstandings, leading to a deeper connection between partners. Intimacy requires effort and commitment from both partners. It is not always easy, but the rewards are worth it. By prioritizing intimacy, couples can build a strong foundation for their marriage and create a lasting bond that will withstand the test of time.
