According to Dictionary.com, intimacy is defined as, showing a close union or combination of particles or elements: an intimate mixture.. Being intimate involves the mixing of our life with another's, a mingling of souls, a sharing of hearts. This is something we all long for because it's how God made us.
Emotional intimacy is present in close relationships which share feelings, thoughts, and possible secrets. For a relationship to be considered stable, there has to be a satisfactory degree of emotional intimacy for the both parties in the relationship or marriage. One coupleâs degree of intimacy that is satisfactory in their marriage may not be the same satisfactory degree of intimacy in anotherâs marriage.
