Told me he felt the same.”

“Denial protected us, screening out certain experiences & feelings until we grew strong enough to relate to them...Yet it also dropped a curtain over our experience, obscuring it, leaving us with a sense of missing pieces. For instance, when we achieved something, we felt like an imposter. Or, though we had a relationship with a significant other, we often felt alone and unrelated to anyone.”
― Maureen Brady, Beyond Survival: A Writing Journey for Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse

relationships.”
― Gina Senarighi, Love More, Fight Less: Communication Skills Every Couple Needs: A Relationship Workbook for Couples

“So how do I overcome my fear of vulnerability and intimacy?"

"I don't think that ever goes away. I think that the goal is to just choose to tend to the garden of love and bliss, instead of trying to focus on how to remove the weeds of fear. There will always be weeds in a garden. Don't fixate on the weeds. Just tend to the flowers. Be your own source of love, comfort and bliss, and that will radiate. Never see yourself as someone who will lose love if she loses a man.”
― C. JoyBell C.

― Sheila Wray Gregoire, Nine Thoughts That Can Change Your Marriage: Because a Great Relationship Doesn't Happen by Accident

“So many people are tired of a shallow life and mediocre relationships. They want to know if there is more. They're asking: is this all there is to life... and love? No way! I want more... more intimacy... more passion... more desire. I want to feel alive in my own skin. I want to go deeper. What they are really asking for without knowing it is more sensuality. Why? Well, because life without sensuality has no depth. It's dull, boring and depressing.”
― Lebo Grand, Sensual Lifestyle

Listening to a person’s changing emotions and speaking about your own emotions.
Intimacy flourishes by knowing and being known.”

― jacqueline simon gunn, Love's Remains

― Mitta Xinindlu

“Emotional intimacy is something we all deeply crave in relationships. It's that feeling you’re really understood and loved by another not in spite of, but along with your imperfections. It’s a deep sense of knowing, feeling “gotten” by someone who really matters to you.

It’s arguably the best part of being in a relationship. And it’s extremely rare.”
― Gina Senarighi, Love More, Fight Less: Communication Skills Every Couple Needs: A Relationship Workbook for Couples

― Jacqueline Simon Gunn, Let Love Rule

“Oh sure, I appreciate physical beauty too. I can get excited about the primped and pruned outer shell; I can swoon over bright feathers, striking poses, and perfected prose as much as the next person. But in truth, I much prefer indulging my ethereal sense to those lesser ones – that inner sense that picks up on a deeper and far more exhilarating kind of beauty. That kind of beauty that presents itself slowly, slipping out one layer, one moment, one expression at a time as you really get to know someone. That’s what really gets me going. That’s the only kind that truly satisfies me – the kind of beauty that shines from within. The kind that speaks, not to the eyes, but that reflects back to them after first touching the heart.”
― Cristen Rodgers

― Mitta Xinindlu

― RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 1983

“Ám mivel még nem mehettünk sehova, a nagyvilág helyett egymást jártuk keresztül-kasul. Juli teste úgy rajzolódott ki előttem négyzetcentiről négyzetcentire, mint egy felfedező előtt a folyton kiegészülő térkép. Egy csábítóan új és minden eddiginél őszintébb létezés ígérete tárult fel előttem a bőre simaságán, a húsa keménységén és testnyílásainak hívogató mélységein át; én pedig mindezért soha nem tapasztalt hálát éreztem iránta.
És azután mégis történt valami, Juli egyik pillanatról a másikra bezárkózott, én pedig hirtelen újra idegennek találtam magam mellette.”
― Dénes Krusovszky, Akik már nem leszünk sosem

“Being together is truly wonderful, and hearing your partner say 'I love you' is even more amazing. However, if your partner professes love while showing no interest in physical intimacy, it may indicate that their feelings were purely based on attraction rather than genuine love. Remember that love encompasses both emotional and physical connection. True love embraces the entirety of a person, both in their heart and their touch.”
― Vikrant Adams

“A person to think with is the most intimate
thing someone can have. And she has it, this connection that outlasts
the body’s demise, the heart’s tantrums.”

“Even with so much healing done when two true hearts open up face to face, they may still have tears to shed and less than clear thoughts in their heads.

But tears can be cleansing and rejuvenating. Uncertainty brings opportunity to grow and find clarity.

In relationship with ourselves or others, may we observe and process our hearts and minds, may we choose love, joy, and peace as our path unwinds.”
― Emilyann Allen

“True intimacy is built on safety, not seduction.”
― Marion Bekoe
