Creating an Intimate Relationship

Many people think sex when the word intimacy is brought up. However, sex is only one component of real intimacy. Creating a real intimate bond requires time, effort, and energy. One step to creating intimacy is to be honest with each other. Honesty requires an evaluation of verbal AND non-verbal messages. Many people do not realize that we communicate mostly by our non-verbal messages (i.e. our body language). When we are upset and angry it is our body language that communicates our real frustration whether we admit our anger or not.
