The Importance of Connection

Building a deep connection with your partner begins with physical affection, such as holding each other, which generates oxytocin as a counter to daily stressors. This practice lays a foundation for open communication about desires and needs, essential for rekindling intimacy in a relationship. The process encourages partners to express their feelings without fear of criticism, promoting a safe space to share desires. By starting with physical affection before transitioning to discussions about intimacy, couples can create a more nurturing and relaxed atmosphere, crucial for emotional and sexual connection.
