Need More Intimacy?
Earlier this year, my daughter looked up at me and said, "I really like it when you do puzzles with me."
My heart was happy. Kids have an ease and directness when acknowledging the intimate way in which we are interacting. While it may be hard for me to say to my partner, "I really like it when we..." my child has no problem letting me know what feels intimate to her.
I'd love to give you some suggestions on finding the connective behaviors even in a long term relationship, when it feels like you already know everything about each other.
- Talk to your partner about what "home" is to you.
- Discover a more lengthy pre-penetration play.
- Find parts of your partner's body that haven't been kissed in a while.
- Have a conversation about what it means to be "close."
- Discuss what you want to feel, emotionally in your sex life.
- Talk about your favorite environment to have sex.
This week, I'd love for you to get curious about what behaviors brings intimacy into your relationship.
Rooting for you always, Celeste
