It can be easy to become complacent in relationships. If you’ve been with your partner for a long time, it may seem like you already know everything about each other. However, relationships shouldn’t become stagnant. They require work to stay healthy and strong. Here are 15 questions to ask your partner to deepen your intimacy.
 

What does the word intimacy mean?

 

Intimacy is defined as “a feeling of closeness and connection in an interpersonal relationship.” Sometimes people only think of intimacy as physical, but there are actually four main types of intimacy:

 

• Physical intimacy

• Emotional intimacy

• Experiential intimacy

• Spiritual intimacy 

 

Intimacy is essential for any relationship to remain strong and healthy. Benefits of intimacy include:

 

• A sense of security for each party in the relationship

• Increased trust 

• Lower stress levels 

• Health benefits — Studies show that regular physical touch can actually lower blood pressure, increase oxytocin, and lower cortisol levels. 

 

So, are you looking for ways to create a more intimate connection with your partner? One of the best ways to foster intimacy is to continue learning about your partner through asking questions.
