Boundaries That Promote Intimacy

  • Share physical closeness that doesn't always lead to sex
  • Chat about the thoughts and events of your day. Listen fully as your partner does the same for you
  • Maintain sexual fidelity
  • When you realize you are heading toward an unexpected change, talk about it with your partner
  • Make important decisions together and negotiate as necessary
  • When your partner does something that improves your life, respond with something that gives them joy
