What is sex and intimacy in a relationship?
Intimate relationships play a vital role in the human experience. Universally we all have a need to belong, which is satisfied when close relationships are formed.
Usually relationships involve some level of interdependence. In other words, things that affect one person in a relationship tend to have an impact on the other person as well.
Some people may have difficulties forming or maintaining intimate relationships, either emotionally or sexually. How we form romantic relationships and how we manage conflict in these relationships will play a significant role in their success.
