| Intimacy in a relationship Posted: 10/2/2008 8:21:55 AM | Ok this is a two part question that I want to ask all guys and gals out there I am wondering "how important do you consider intimacy to be in a relationship?" AND That feeling a couple get when they first start seeing each other .. you know that excitement in the stomach, can't stop thinking about each other etc. ... How important is that feeling to a relationship? Thank-you looking forward to reading all the responses!  | |

I could not be intimate with anyone that I did not have those feelings for. | |

| Intimacy in a relationship Posted: 10/24/2008 7:01:40 PM | I think intimacy is very important in a relationship, but also that there is more than one kind of intimacy. Being intimate with your signifcant other is one and then there is also the kind of feelings you have when with that person, that you know it's comfortable even in silence...both are important.
The excitement thing is also good to have. Why else would one pursue a relationship if it isn't there? | |

| Intimacy in a relationship Posted: 10/26/2008 8:23:05 PM | | There are many forms of intimacy....and to have a good relationship, you need to have at least one formoof intimacy for it to work...so, yes, I think intimacy is VERY important in a relationship. | |

I think when you really connect with someone and want to spend time with them, intimacy draws you even closer to that person. It should add something to your relationship, not be the relationship. | |

| Intimacy in a relationship Posted: 1/15/2009 12:44:49 PM | | I love the butterflies i get in my stomach when he holds my hand, or gives me that special look. How he makes me feel safe physically and emotionally. I look forward to every email i get from him, to going home after work to my man. That connection is so important to take care and let it continue to grow. | |

Happy everyone | |

| Intimacy in a relationship Posted: 7/5/2009 8:42:53 PM | Without intimacy on all levels why pursue or continue a relationship at all? There absolutely has to be a passion for each other physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually IMHO, otherwise most relationships will flounder or worse...stay together in mediocraty that leads to eventual misery. Life is way to short to accept less than you desire for any long term lasting relationship.  | |
