The main reason that most relationships fall apart, and a large reason that many end in infidelity, is that people lose intimacy and connection in a relationship. It is not a given that everyone will have intimacy and connection in a relationship and just because you have it now doesn’t mean that you will have it later on as the years go by.
If you fear that you are losing intimacy and connection in your relationship one of the first things that you should do is take a break. Not necessarily a break from each other, but a break from the things in your life that are keeping you distracted and disconnected. Intimacy and connection in a relationship are hard to have if you don’t have any time together.
One of the things that you will hear from those who have lost the intimacy and connection in their relationship is that they don’t really even like themselves. They begin to feel unhappy and lost and feel really unloved. They can’t quite figure out that it is what they are putting out their to their partner is a needy and negative message. Any good psychologist will tell you that it is almost impossible to have intimacy and connection in a relationship if there is not a love of one’s self from both people in the relationship.
Though it may seem like it is impossible for you to find intimacy and connection in your relationship you may just need to work on the things above to make everything change. Don’t give up on the possibility of having intimacy and connection in a relationship, with just a little time and effort you can make it happen for yourself. You can have ta very connected and intimate relationship.
