Cracking the Code

This week on Relationship Laws, we’d be tackling;

Let’s begin!!!

Last week I made the solid point that having an emotionally fit partner aids emotional intimacy in your romantic relationship.

It then dawned on me that I had not taught you anything about intimacy and the different types of intimacy you need for your relationship with your partner to thrive.

This is me covering the basics and giving you the solid fundamentals of the game of love and relationships.

Intimacy means giving another person—preferably your romantic partner— a comprehensive manual on what makes you tick and how to hurt you if they choose to.

The types of intimacy you need in your relationship are;

1. Physical Intimacy
This type of intimacy is the least in my book because people can manipulate it with little effort.

Yes, this intimacy involves physical touch like hugs, handshakes, pecks and the big bad wolf itself; sexual intercourse.

When we love someone, we often want to hug, hold hands or kiss them.

These actions help us feel close to our partners, but they’re not the only things that matter.

Just like a flower needs water and sunlight to grow, relationships need other things to be strong and healthy.

If we only focus on the physical parts of a relationship, it won’t feel as real or as special.

We need to find other ways to connect with our partners like talking, sharing our feelings, and spending time together.

2. Experiential Intimacy
This type of intimacy involves shared experiences that lead to shared memories of particular events that can lead to a strong connection between the parties involved.

3. Emotional Intimacy
This type of intimacy involves being vulnerable with your romantic partner.

This consists of revealing ourselves wholly to our significant other.

Sharing our thoughts, feelings, fears, dreams, aspirations, disappointments, fantasies, wants and needs in a safe, comfortable and expressive manner.

This type of intimacy takes time and effort from both parties to develop.

Emotional Intimacy blossoms in a non-judgmental environment.

4. Intellectual Intimacy
This type of intimacy is about bonding through reasoning and life philosophy.

An open mind is an integral part of intellectual intimacy.

Intellectual intimacy is more than knowing what your spouse/significant other thinks and believes about issues, topics and events.

It is about understanding why and how your partner thinks the way they do and what drives, inspires and motivates them to feel and think the way they do.

5. Spiritual Intimacy
This is the rarest and most elusive type of intimacy.

Couples with spiritual intimacy may or may not share the same religious beliefs.

This type of intimacy is about sharing touching and profound moments with your romantic partner.
