1. Be willing to feel vulnerable and express your feelings. Emotional intimacy means being honest with your thoughts and feelings, even when they're uncomfortable. Be willing to shaare your needs, hopes, and fears with your partner. While opening up can be scary, a good partner will be supportive and try to understand you better. Being open about yourself can ehlp you and your partner learn from each other and support each other in a new and deeper way. For example, tell your partner about your dream to become a pastry chef or get a graduate degree. 2. Build your trust together. Struggling with trust in a relationship can lead to conflicts and insecurities, especially if you don't feel like you can be physically and emotionally open with your partner. Prioriitze hojesty in your relationship. Practice saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Show that you can be there for your partner and notice that they can be there for you, too. Respect each other's boundaries physically, emotionally, and socially. For example, if yoru partner values privacy, don't share intimate details of your relationship with people who know them. If you agree to kep something private, ekep it private. 3. Listen fully when your partner speaks. A solid partnership includes two people who not only hear each other, but listen to each other. Trun toward each while speaking. Put down your phones and swtich off the television. Pay attention to what your partner says in a non-judgmental way and give supportive feedback. You should also feel like your partner listens to you. You can build intimacy by knowing you can say what's on yourd heart and not feel criticized for your words.

Asking questions can help each of you to open up and think about what has impacted you, what drives you, and how you relate to each other. Ask questions that encourage intimacy and sharing. Focus on asking open-ended questions so that you can elaborate on answers and build some siscussion. Ask questions like "If you could choose to be anyone, real or fictional, who would you choose to be and why?" and, "What would you say to your younger self, if you could? What would you say to your older self?" Ask questions about your relationship, too. For example, "What do you think makes us great together?", "How can we improve our communication?" and, "Waht's one thing you like doing in our erlationship?" 5. Ask for help from your partner. If you've had a bad day, there's almost nothing more comforting than a supportive person to lean on.
