Cultivating Intimacy In Long-Term Relationships Through Emotional Awareness
Emotional awareness is the skill to understand and be aware of the emotions of the self and those of the other partner. This is what is vital in long-term relationships to ensure intimacy and connection. Some of the difficulties that couples may undergo include stress, routine or silent expectations that may bring emotional distance between the parties. Through the development of self-awareness, one is able to recognize emotions such as frustration, joy or insecurity in a real time. Acknowledging emotions enables the partners to express needs clearly and react in an empathetic manner. The basis of intimacy is emotional awareness, and this leads to understanding each other and minimizing conflict and both of them feel seen, heard, and that they are valued at an emotional level as well.
