Dear Missing Emotional Intimacy, honesty, and authenticity sound like, “Honey, I’m really upset about something and I need a sounding board. Can you help me by listening to my problem and let me know if I’m over reacting?” By letting your partner into your world, he or she feels included and helpful while you feel taken care of. All of this fosters wonderful intimacy. I have three great tips for you that’ll help build your emotional intimacy with your husband as if you’re back on your honeymoon: • • Imagine Intimacy. Imagination is powerful because beneath the images of the mind, you can tap into the realm of possibility. Like a goal or a dream, envision what you want with your partner. Then, be grateful now for what you’ve envisioned, before you even actualizing it. Gratitude is key because it’s the gateway to welcoming it into your life. Be vulnerable, honest and authentic. If you’re struggling, say so. It’s an amazing opportunity for intimacy with your partner. Here’s what vulnerability, • Be trusting and trustworthy. Author John Gottman has spent much of his career researching and writing about the behaviors of couples. He reports that trust is built in a culmination of lots of little moments between two people. An example of this would be a husband saying to his wife, “Sweetie, I see that you are having a tough time right now. What do you need? How can I help you?” Or, a wife telling her husband, “Thank you for fixing the wobbly door knob. It’s things like this that make my day run a little easier.” Another interesting trust-builder is asking for help. These seemingly small gestures are great for building a trusting relationship. So, relax and enjoy your way back into delicious emotional intimacy with your husband. Want free relationship advice right away?
