But What exactly Emotional Intimacy is ??
Seriously saying I didn't knew about it ...we all may be going through this phase in our life or have gone through this ...but untill I read about it and gone through it ...I might never knew that how important is Emotional intimacy than physical intimacy.
According to my understanding..it is a phase in your life ..where you are naked of all emotions..I mean ...you have nothing hidden inside you ...you and your partner/husband becomes so transparent with each other ... sharing each and every phase ..part .. experience... whether it's good experience or bad experience..is being shared with each other.
That's when I can say .. emotional intimacy had been achieved..may be to some extent..or may be fully.
It's means your level of relationship has been matured level.
And when you are in this phase or have achieved it ...you guys becomes best friends ... sharing everything..having no burden inside you.
There is no scope of judgement...you both don't judge each other on your past experiences...like best friends.
And if there is anything..he/she will be the first person to explode everything.. whatever is going on within us.
Emotional intimacy is much more than physical intimacy.
There will no scope for any insecurities
And emotions can be shared freely with out any second thought.

Emotional intimacy is so important in a relationship. However in the modern context, it takes a back seat.
ReplyDeleteI wish we all could have that emotional intimacy where you could unload your dark emotions without that leading to a split in the relationship. Maybe this is something that comes from acceptance and trust that comes from unconditional love.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of this. People began to understand how important it is to have a clear mind of our own emotions.
ReplyDeleteI like this in principle, but I feel sometimes, some things need to be kept away as well, like forgotten and left behind. Not everything needs to be shared, unless it's toxic and needs letting go.
ReplyDeleteFor me Sonu, emotional intimacy has always mattered over physical although physical is important too. The way I am wired, I can't be physical with a person unless I feel something for him that stems from my emotions.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think every couple should take a call whether to bring back ghosts of the past or not cuz most times it doesn't go that well and may shake the foundation of the relationship altogether and even if that doesn't happen over the years there is bound to come a time when during a heated argument or a fight, either person may bring up the others past. So whatever we do, we must do it wisely.
I've come to realize that emotional intimacy is the key to a lasting and fulfilling relationship. In my experience, achieving emotional intimacy requires open and honest communication, as well as a willingness to be vulnerable and share our innermost thoughts and feelings with our partner.
ReplyDeleteI've found that emotional intimacy is a journey of self-discovery as much as it is about connecting with another person.
ReplyDeleteI find it difficult to achieve emotional intimacy - perhaps only with my husband to some extent.
ReplyDeleteEmotions intimacy is most important than physical intimacy. But I think everything should not be shared because it may have disaster affect on your relationship.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.. Emotional intimacy is so important. It's like building this super strong bond with our partner where we can be totally open and honest about everything. Your post really got me thinking about how valuable that connection is. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intimacy is a must for our relationship with our partners. Emotional intimacy strengthens the bond between partners, creating a deeper sense of connection and closeness. Sharing intimate thoughts and experiences helps them to feel understood, appreciated, and valued by each other. I dont feel scared to talk to my husband if even anything went wrong by me. What goes in my mind is that '' He is the person with whom I can open my heart and share all my feelings be it silly to matured in a carefree manner and he will listen with attention." That what matters more to me and I consider it as my emotional intimacy with husband which is far more stronger than being physical.
ReplyDeletePhysical intimacy alone does not contribute to the success of a relationship. Emotional intimacy adds that extra touch.
ReplyDeleteNo relationship can survive without Emotional intimacy. If your partner is not emotionally available for you then it's an indication of unhealthy relationship.
ReplyDeleteReading your post made me realize the depth and importance of emotional intimacy in a relationship. It's true that being emotionally naked with your partner fosters a deep connection and trust, making the bond stronger than physical intimacy alone. Your insights are truly enlightening and relatable. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI too have read about it and came to know about this term recently... I'm one of those who believe that emotional connect is more important than physical connect... you can only be vulnerable in front of someone who won't judge you and who you re confident won't leave your hand when you show them the real you ... your post made me realize this at a deeper level.. appreciate you sharing your thoughts
ReplyDeleteYour comparison of emotional intimacy to the bond between best friends is spot on. It's about forging a deep connection built on trust, mutual respect, and unconditional support.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intimacy is far more difficult to achieve than physical intimacy, but guess what, once there it's tough to break too. Takes maturity and understanding to bare yourself to someone.
ReplyDeleteI guess both are important. Emotional and Physical intimacy. But emotional stands out as its not always possible to show physical affection or love at every time, an emotional connect and empathy surely go a long way.
ReplyDeleteYour thoughts on emotional closeness are profound, showing how important it is in relationships. I am a very emotional person myself and always looked for it. Achieving emotional closeness shows a mature connection, where understanding replaces judgment. Your ideas highlighting how it helps build real companionship and a feeling of safety in relationships are so true.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. Physical intimacy is superficial if there is no emotional intimacy. Not everyone is comfortable sharing everything but that is what marriage is all about.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intimacy I think is a space for bimg ourselves without being judged. Beautiful writeup.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intimacy will pave the foundation to strengthen the Bond. If this is established then there is no inhibition. It is an important aspect all couples must work on
ReplyDeletewell said - emotional intimacy is important, and it is a good foundation for a long lasting relationship - whether it is with your partner or even friends... when you can be yourself and vulnerable those are the foundational relationships
ReplyDeleteThe thing that matter is emotional attachment. Sometimes we need someone with whom we can share all our problems, worries and feel safe and relaxed. You explained in a very nice way.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe emotional intimacy is greater than physical intimacy. When two people bonded by emotions their relationship is greater than any physical relationship. Loved the concept.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intimacy is hard to find but is very essential in any relationship. I personally feel that a couple should have the capability to accept pros and cons of each other so that one feels freedom to say something apart from being judgemental.
ReplyDeleteEmotional intimacy is indeed the hallmark of a successful relationship.
