Intimacy is an important component of a healthy relationship. Although sexual intimacy is fairly easy to achieve, emotional intimacy can be a bit harder to establish. Emotional intimacy is important for both people in a relationship. It allows them to know each other deeper, understand feelings and look into the soul of the other. There are many ways you can achieve deeper emotional intimacy. The following list elaborates on several ways to start increasing the emotional intimacy in your relationship.

To Thy Self Be True
Do not try to be someone else. There is no way to be intimate, unless she gets to know the real you. If she does not like you for who you are, she is not right for you. Let the real you shine through, (the real you on your best behavior). You can start letting it all hang out once you get to know each other a little better.

Be Open
Talk to each other about the things that matter most to you. Share about your past memories and experiences, current feelings, and future dreams and aspirations. Learning about each other increases understanding and deepens love and intimacy.

Listen
Pay attention. Listening is a key factor to intimacy. Learn as much as you can about your partner. As she shares about herself, clear your mind, close your mouth and open your ears. Ask more questions and dig deeper. A big factor to intimacy is understanding. Seek to understand her and be understood.

Tender Touches
Give each other tender touches. Deepen your intimacy by softening your touches. Touch is another key component to relationships. A touch on the hand, kiss on the forehead or other soft, non sexual touch, says I care about you deeply.

Enjoy growing more intimate with your lover and you become more physically and emotionally in tune with each other. Emotional intimacy takes time to grow. So schedule some dates and enjoy your time learning more about each other and drawing closer.
