Intimacy is a legitimate need

You can survive without it, but you cannot thrive and become the best version of yourself. Intimacy is the one thing that a person cannot live happily without. Intimacy requires that we allow another person into our heart, mind, body, and soul. It is a complete and unrestrained sharing of self.

A successfull relationship is identifying the legitimate needs of the other person. Collaborating in the most dynamic way to know and tend to each other's legitimate needs. Acceptance of each other's different opinions, revelation of hopes and dreams, honoring of each other's unique feelings, and awareness of each other's faults, fears, and failures.

Four aspects of the human person: Physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. All must be discovered, and then met. Through the discovery of each other's legitimate needs, we can begin to build a lifestyle that helps each other become the best version of ourselves.
