Intimacy is him cherishing me and me needing him. It's all those little kisses in between. It's going out with other couples and still sitting next to each other. It's getting home from work and finding each other first. It's cuddling up on the sofa together to watch a movie or just chat about anything. It's always treating each other well and never allowing the sun to go down on an argument or a disagreement. It's holding hands in public every chance you get.

It's lots of hugs, kisses, and whispering sweet "somethings" into each other's ears. It's mutual respect and trust. It's him learning how to deal with all day long Saturday shopping sprees if that's what she wants to do on the weekends and it's her learning how to find a 9/16ths socket wrench if that's what he likes to do on Saturday afternoons. It's leaning up against a fence together on a clear starry night, gazing up at the sky together, not saying anything, and just holding each other tightly knowing that each is thinking, "In this whole great big universe, we were so blessed to have found each other."

What is intimacy? It's a warm closeness and friendship with another. It's the willingness to be vulnerable and open to another person, and a connection between the thinking, emotions and spirituality of two people. It consists of love, trust and the ability to communicate on a deep personal level. It is the ability to share ourselves on a soul level. When intimacy is present in a partnership it raises the level of sexual pleasure and passion. It is what makes us feel that we have found a unique person and we are in "the relationship" meant for us.
