Does Emotional or Physical Intimacy Come First? A Chicken or the Egg Dynamic in Marriage: Episode 317

Does Emotional or Physical Intimacy Come First? A Chicken or the Egg Dynamic in Marriage: Episode 317

Meeting each other's needs is the basis for a great relationship. This can get complex especially when it comes to the need of intimacy in a marriage, a fundamental need that often takes different forms for men and women. While some men seek physical intimacy to feel connected, their female partners emphasize the need for emotional intimacy.

In this episode you will hear the significance of first establishing emotional safety (in its various forms) before either type of intimacy can be created. Then how each person's need can be accepted as valid and a roadmap for building emotional intimacy through 4 key elements: attunement, honesty, vulnerability, and initiation.

As for physical intimacy, you will hear the keys of emphasizing love deposits, injecting fun, and introducing intentional variety into the experience. You will understand that you can in fact meet both of your needs as they are independent of each other first. The meeting of those needs further raise both the emotional and physical aspects of your marriage.
