Emotional intimacy is built through love and trust. Love draws you closer and creates an intimate bond that your lover shares with you alone. This creates a special trust. Emotional intimacy is lost when one person in the relationship is hurt by another. The broken parts of a relationship can be fixed and make your emotional intimacy deeper. These tips will help you on your way to understand the situation, make a sincere apology, and mend the broken pieces.

Why?
In a relationship, neither partner sets out to hurt or betray the other. However unintentional it may have been, we have all done just that at some point in our relationships. It is important to work through these situations. When your sweetheart gets upset and hurt, it is important to find out why. Does it stem from a childhood experience, previous relationship, their personality etc. Explain that you can see that they are upset. Express that you did not mean to hurt them. Ask them to explain what they are feeling and why.

Say It!
Once you find out the root of the issue and how you triggered the hurt, it is time to take the next step. Say that you are sorry….and mean it. A sincere apology goes a long way. An apology does not always mean that you are saying you were wrong and they are right. An apology means, I understand that my actions hurt you. Now that I know and understand, I will be more conscious of your emotions and try not to hurt you again.

Show It
To show that you really mean it, ask what you can do to make it right. They may not want you to do anything, but they will appreciate the gesture. If you can do something, take action. Going to this length will increase emotional intimacy by finding the cause and making it right. As an added bonus, your emotional intimacy will be restored and come out stronger than before.

Seal the Deal
Once you have worked through the issue, reap the rewards. Seal it with a kiss and some make up lovin! The fourth step is very important to rekindle your love, repair the damage done and restore the trust that was betrayed.

Apologies are an important part of every relationship. You will be amazed at the benefits that you will reap from apologizing in a sincere style. As you deepen your understanding of each other, provide a sincere apology and show your love, you will encounter a deepening love and increased emotional intimacy. Even though a heartfelt apology is a great experience- we do not suggest picking fights, just so you can make up.
