“An intimate relationship is an interpersonal relationship that involves physical or emotional intimacy.[1] Although an intimate relationship is commonly a sexual relationship,[2] it may also be a non-sexual relationship involving family or friends.[2][3] Emotional intimacy is an essential aspect of a healthy relationship (4] Feelings of liking or loving may prompt physical intimacy. However, emotional intimacy may or may not be present alongside physical intimacy depending on the relationship. Physical intimacy is characterized by romantic love, sexual activity, or other passionate attachment.[1] Relationships of this nature play a central role in the overall human experience.[5] People desire to belong and to love, desires that can be satisfied within an intimate relationship.[6] Such relationships allow a social network for people to form strong emotional attachments.[3][5]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
