What are the ways to deepen an intimate relationship?

6 posts in this topic

Hey guys, I've been thinking of ways to make an intimate relationship deeper and more fulfilling.

Here are some of my ideas:

  • Improving sex life, learning to have better and deeper sex.
  • Learning to communicate mindfully, being aware of one's own biases and ego's self-defense mechanism during conversations. Watching oneself like a hawk.
  • Communicating each other's deepest wishes, needs, visions, and values.
  • Making sure not to take a relationship for granted. That makes you lazy and inactive.
  • Developing a deep desire to improve all aspects of a relationship, and working consistently on them. 
  • Having spiritual experiences together.
  • Learning Love Languages and satisfying each other's needs according to those languages.
  • Visiting beautiful places and savoring those experiences.
  • Unhooking yourself from social media, and internet distractions so you are fully concentrated on each other while being together.
  • Working on your life in general, having and doing many things that you love, and not making a partner the center of your life. Paradoxically that makes for the best relationship.
  • Being aware of impermanence and your attachments and clinging tendencies. Softening those to make room for a conscious relationship. That's emotionally challenging.
  • Not avoiding things that are emotionally challenging, like talking with a partner on a topic that makes you hurt emotionally, but if not spoken, rottens the relationship inside out. Make sure to not have anything like that.
  • Working on your self-esteem issues. Making sure that there are no gaps in that area. Improve it as best as you can.
  • Having clean diet and exercise routines. That will affect all areas of your life, including intimate relationships by having a better sex life, more energy, more vitality, better mood, etc.

These are some of the things that I consider crucial to deepen your intimate relationships.

What are your thoughts on this? What do you think can make your relationship more conscious and deeper?

Kudos, those are all great.

Now the challenging part is going out there and actually applying these things with an intimate partner ;)

@King Merk Yup, it takes weeks and months to apply those, and other things as well. 

But that's the whole point of a relationship, that applying process itself is creating a relationship. So it's just a question of doing things consciously or unconsciously.
