Using Communication to Increase Intimacy:
1. Look for the good in ur partner and give compliments
2. Praise ur partner as much as possible
3. Take time to listen, listen, listen,
4. Listen to understand, not judge
5. Make sure u understand waht the other is saying before commenting
6. Be assertive: share feelsings by using "I" statements
7. Share personal feelings
8. When an issue arise, avoid blaming each other and talk directly about how to deal with the issue differently
9. If the issue persists, focus on creating as many new solutions as u can and then try them one at a time
The best type of communication is assertive. Which means one expresses one's feelings, emotions, and thoughts. (You have the right to say what you think and your partner has the right to understand why you're acting a certain way and just to know what's going on in your head)
Postivite Influence of Assertiveness:
-Increase in Self confidence
-Decrease in avoidance/partner dominance
-Feel better about partners/themselves
-Able to express feelings
-Increased level of intimacy
-Ask for waht they want and therefore, more likely to get it
P.S. Once again, feel free to comment/ask any questions <3
