6 exercises to strengthen emotional intimacy in your marriage
When your relationship has a high level of emotional intimacy, you share your feelings, needs, fears, successes, and failures knowing you will continue to be loved and cared for by your partner.
Building strong intimacy in your marriage can give your marriage the satisfying fulfillment you desire.
Here are 6 exercises to start strengthening your emotional intimacy:
1. Do something new and engaging together.
2. Show affection.
3. Do marriage enrichment together.
4. Make time to talk.
5. Celebrate your togetherness.
6. Make the most of pillow talk
Each of these 6 exercises on their own may not strengthen your emotional intimacy. However, if you do these with a heart of gratitude and appreciation toward your partner and you make them a habit, you’ll begin to feel closer and more connected. You’ll find yourself sharing more of yourself and getting to know your partner more fully.
