Is it any wonder that for millions of men the only intimacy is physical, silent, and predictable?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Intimacy seems to be one of the major highs of life, whether it's getting to know yourself in a deeper way, or your partner, or the world and the society that you live in.
Real intimacy is only possible to the degree that we can be honest about what we are doing and feeling.
Total intimacy is a myth; that said, a particular kind of loneliness can be both beautiful and fruitful.
Women may think men have it all, but only because we've been socialized to express the emotions that are tied to this reality differently, which is to say, men are not to express the emotions that are tied to it.
I think we're scared of intimacy - all of us, a little bit.
Men may feel just disempowered by intimacy, by being close to a woman, and also by feeling the tender feelings that they're ashamed of.
Failing to find in women exactly the same kind of sexual emotions, as they find in themselves, men have concluded that there are none there at all.
Intimacy is something to be cherished, and intimacy is not something to be afraid of.
Intimacy is not a happy medium. It is a way of being in which the tension between distance and closeness is dissolved and a new horizon appears. Intimacy is beyond fear.
