How To Deepen Intimacy In Your Relationship – Lesson 7 – Building Physical Intimacy

Welcome to Lesson #7 of my “How to Deepen Intimacy In Your Relationship” course!

You get closer to your partner through physical affection like hugs, cuddles, and touching.

Just like you can have intimacy without sex, you can have sex without intimacy. To build physical intimacy, be curious about how touching can bring you and your partner closer.

Being touched feels good – but there are other health benefits, too!

1. Boost your immune system
2. Helps you live longer
3. Increased oxytocin (a soothing hormone)
4. Keeps you happier
5. Less loneliness
6. Lower blood pressure
7. Lower levels of cortisol

Try these exercises to build physical intimacy:

1. Cuddle. At the end of a long day, simply cuddle with your partner.
2. Eye-gazing. Stare into your partner’s eyes for a few minutes. This is a tantric exercise that will bring you closer together.
3. Give each other massages. Taking time to give the other massages can be a relaxing and connecting experience for you both.
4. Hold hands. Hold hands with your partner over a coffee or while you’re out walking.
5. Schedule sex. It might feel unnatural to schedule time for physical intimacy, but with busy schedules it shows that you put the physical connection with your partner as a priority.
6. Touch your partner. Reach your hand out to touch your partner on the shoulder. Find ways to touch your partner and remind them physically that you care.

In addition to feeling great, physical intimacy on a regular basis boosts your immune system, helps you live longer, and keeps you happier.

And you can build that physical closeness through more than just sex. It’s about the closeness between you and your partner physically.
