Abstract
Mystery. Hurt. Silence. Opportunities missed. It is one of the great tragedies of the modern life that many partners behave as complete strangers while living together.
Although couples sometimes disagree about sexuality, they rarely discuss it. Attempt to talk about your sex life and pray together at least once a month so that you can know the viewpoints of each other and then it will enhance intimacy.
A lack of communication is the biggest barrier to this
For long-term romantic relationships, the experience of emotional intimacy is thought to play a particularly important role for sustaining sexual desire and partnered sexual activity.

The Nature of Intimacy
D
o you have a certain position or state of mind when you're sexual? Have you ever been told that you have "intimacy issues" or do you feel in your relationship a lack of so-called intimacy?
For a long time, emotional intimacy has been a critical need for healthy human development. Sex and intimacy are not the same thing, even if the words are sometimes used interchangeably. Like macaroni without cheese or beans, some people do not appreciate and wouldn't want to have one without the other.
In our culture of the 21st century, the stated ideal is an intimate relationship involving good sex. However, more than 10% of committed couples only rarely, if at all, have sex with each other; yet consider themselves in a happy relationship. Nevertheless, the recorded benefits of close relationships, like improved overall health and well-being, are believed to have their origins in the intimacy experience which is arising from relational involvement.
Sex is something you can have on your own or with someone else. If you have a partner, it may or may not include sexual intercourse. Simply stated, typically with the goal of orgasm, it is bodily pleasure.
Intimacy , on the other hand, involves letting you be known your hopes, desires, fears, and faults and realizing and embracing others inside and outside.
Emotion , many couples have motivations to have sex with their emotions. Sex has a variety of emotional benefits, including it might improve confidence in you. It could be a pleasurable way to help you connect with your own body and might allow you to bond with your partner, and it might be a way to express love and care for them. Further, it can relieve mental stress.
With or without sex, you can have intimacy.
With or without intimacy, you can have sex.
Some couples even report that good sex in times of stress can bridge the gap in distance, such as in years of child-rearing. Good sex is free, adds longevity to your lifespan, is extremely good for cardiovascular health, and can make a significant contribution to a sense of inner peace and quiet.
2. The Zone of Intimacy
W
e lose control in the classic way we like to have it when we find ourselves in the zone of intimacy. Once you're intimate, you're intimate psychologically, and then it won't go away. The person you are familiar with can be a source of the greatest proximity and affirmation. He or she may also be the source of endless suffering.
Nobody can hurt you like the person you're intimated with.
The great intimacy dilemma can leave people confused. You really love her, but it hurts too much about her criticism.
It may be insignificant, but you are vulnerable to frustration, annoyance, desire, self-righteousness, and intruded feeling when you feel intimate. First you fall in love with lust before you fall in love. Then you love the person endlessly.
The intimacy issue is that you have to change to a genuinely loving a person and then have sex with him or her ecstatically. That's the goal. That's the dream. So, that's doable.
3. Those who surrender for intimacy
I
t is lovely to have sex without intimacy. Just know the stakes rise significantly when you reach the intimacy area. You might have had problems with your parents or a former lover.
Can you prefer having sex with anyone that makes you feel so volatile?
We create stories together when we are intimate. We remember close times when they are working. But we also remember an unanswered text, an insulting remark, a rejection, a sense of intrusion. Intimacy can still triumph with extreme closeness if we carry these feelings to a sexual moment, but it can also backfire on a desire not to be there.
To some, the solution is to give up on intimacy. It's not the right solution or the best solution, but it can work. It's like settling down for far less than life has to offer because it's the best you think you can do. Sex is not as complex or unique without intimacy. A partner can't really hurt you without intimacy.
You may have to find that your beloved is bringing back toxic memories that have nothing to do with him. You may realize that both of you lack the ability to really talk to each other, and it has an impact on having sex with each other. Or, the power of intimacy and sex can lead to insecurity that has been open for years. It may be time to grow up to be strong. You are in control without intimacy.
Indeed, some renounce on intimacy or by choosing a mate for one and a lover for the second, they separate intimacy and sex.
Intimacy is a wonderful gift and a real challenge. This involves the task of allowing you to be near while holding on to who you are. You can let go and know that whatever happens today or tomorrow, you'll be secure while you build trust in your partner and yourself. It's an honorable task.
4. The Strong Sense towards Emotional Intimacy
W
hen greater intimacy becomes a daily part of your life, you will become so used to it that you will feel a special sense of longing if your partner is not around. Getting an intimate relationship is what most of us want but still struggle to interact and show our friends.
Another way of building intimacy is by praising your love before others. It feels good to hear people we love talking about how important we are to someone else. Most of us like to hear about ourselves in positive terms, and we feel good about ourselves and our relationships when we receive this kind of praise.
It is highly undervalued to give and show intimacy. Most people don't realize how effective such small acts can be. You can change the course of a bad relationship and make a great relationship just by being a bit more loving and creating, as well as enjoying, greater intimacy between you two.
Relationship Trust
W
hen we get close to someone else and are told that we are respected and valued for who we are, intimacy is achieved. Usually children develop relationships with parents and peers. As adults, we pursue connection with other people, friends, relatives and a partner in close relationships.
