Ep. 34 - Authentic and Lasting Intimacy
Join Neal and Diane Arnold of The Family Collective as they delve into this important topic. There is a lot of conversation and misunderstanding about intimacy, what it really is, and how to make it happen. There are couples married for decades that can be physically close but do not know how to be emotionally intimate. Authentic Intimacy makes us feel content, encouraged, complete, peaceful, and happy. Physical closeness, sex, and romance are important to a relationship, but emotional intimacy revitalizes and enlivens it. The fear of intimacy can cause partners to be emotionally unavailable and lead to an endless dance of pursuit and distancing.
In this presentation couples are taught to express deep, underlying emotions from a place of vulnerability and ask for their own needs to be met. Together couples understand how to be emotionally available, empathetic and engaged with each other. Authentic, Lasting Intimacy provides emotional language as well as relational skills for a healthy connection between partners.
