The Need for Intimacy in a Relationship

It’s a hard truth that while falling in love is easy; keeping it alive is one of the most difficult tasks in life. Many couples end up wondering what happened to their previously vibrant and thriving bond. The answer is time. Once the first heady flush of falling in love has passed, lovers need to actively commit to their bond if it is to stay strong and healthy.

Researchers explain this by pointing to the nature of brain chemistry. According to scientists, your brain passes through three distinct stages of desire, attraction and attachment during the early days of a relationship having Chat erotiche during nights. The ‘desire’ stage is passive, akin to a craving for someone but as we pass to the second stage of attraction, we temporarily enter a phase where rational though is suspended; we idealize our lovers and are often blind to even the most glaring of faults. This overwhelming preoccupation and drive is a relic of our more primitive selves; something to ensure the mate bond remained until a child was safely weaned. The brain creates these feeling using a mix of ‘feel good’ compounds that create that particular mix of exhilaration and excitement that we feel during this stage.

Unfortunately, like all drugs our bodies eventually gets used to these hormones as well and we feel as though we’ve ‘woken up’. This stage typically occurs about three to four years into couple-hood so it is understandable that couples get worried about the sudden dose of reality after all that heady bliss.

The good news is that it’s natural. Your bond has successfully passed into the attachment or commitment stage. You've passed fantasy and have now entered into real love. This is the stage that will really test your bond (little wonder then that most marriages break off in the first four years) and your love has to be strong enough to withstand all of life’s problems and distractions.

The answer is to build up a store of emotional intimacy and positive feelings from the very beginning so that when the physiological high passes, you have a solid emotional bond to build the rest of your lives on. Take some time off each day to explore each other’s thoughts, values and interests sharing sexual desire through Chat erotiche. Try to get to know about each others’ lives outside your loving cocoon. You’ll soon find that your relationship is stronger than ever.
