Intimacy, both physical and mental, is vital for the good functioning of a relationship. Being intimate with someone allows you to maintain and cultivate that connection that keeps a marriage or partnership running.
Intimacy means making an effort to know and experience your loved ones deeply. This may be difficult, because intimacy requires you to be honest and to show your vulnerabilities to the other person.
