Fear of intimacy is a profound fear of getting close emotionally, and sometimes physically to another person. Being vulnerable with another person is not easy.
Remember when you and your partner first got together - how smitten you were? How perfect they seemed? You couldn’t get enough of them.
You may think you’re keeping your stress to yourself. However, even without telling your partner “I’m stressed” they will likely sense it.
What could be bad about giving? The answer is over-giving. That can be seen in codependent relationships. Codependency can be described as “harmful helping”.
Simply defined, intimacy is the degree of closeness and the bond that exists between you and your partner. But intimacy is not as simple as physical touch.
No matter how in love you feel, life has a way of getting in the way and putting out the spark you once had. Sometimes all we need is a recharge to remind us of what really matters.
Conflict in relationships is normal, and marriage is no exception. In fact, conflict is a good thing. When a relationship is without conflict it usually means someone has stopped trying and the relationship is severely broken.
It isn’t a marriage if there isn’t some conflict from time to time. Knowing how to work through conflict in a healthy manner is everything.
You love your partner. You’re comfortable, but you’re also craving to feel more in your relationship.
Maybe you’re feeling as though your marriage has taken too big a hit. Or perhaps it’s the slow progression of several things that feels like your relationship’s downfall.
