Email: An introvert, find it difficult to express feelings to spouse. (US)
Likewise. An introvert too. Each day, overcome fears to express sentiments, self. It isn’t a sign of powerlessness or weaknesses. Rather a symbol of true inner strength.
We can only infuse our relationships with a deep sense of togetherness by honestly recognising what truly binds us with one another. Intimacy begins with our ability to express what’s in our minds and hearts sincerely, sensitively, softly.
Being able to open our hearts up to others is an important 1st step in giving them the space, comfort to speak their emotions or thoughts, as well.
Our relationships will only deepen once we’re able to freely exchange confidences with each other. Although, it seems intimacy is a natural progression of our relationships, often it’s due to a conscious act on both parts.
When we take 1st steps toward letting what’s truly in our hearts be known, it offers our hand to our partners, leading them deeper into selves, letting them know closeness is something safe. Silence is a powerful communication tool, as well.
By gently opening up we create a greater sense of understanding, joy, harmony to strengthen our precious, priceless bonds.
