Intimacy Issues in Relationships
Intimacy comes in many forms. Beyond sex, it can be holding hands, having the emotional connection for deeper talks about who we are, or even just bringing our partner a cup of coffee in the morning. Sometimes, couples can excel in the bedroom but flounder when it comes to the daily acts of intimacy. Sometimes they struggle with both, or just with one.
Couples who at one point were very open about their feelings, felt comfortable being vulnerable with each other, and who were affectionate, unfortunately can over time find themselves drifting away from the exhilarating pleasantness of true intimacy. Sadly, the baggage of life builds up. Micro-hurts snowball into bigger issues. The root cause is very rarely a “lack of intimacy,” but couples often lack the skills and objectiveness required to tackle the problem(s.)
