15 Ways to Reignite Intimacy in a Relationship (2 of 8)

2. Acknowledge your feelings

It’s never a good idea to hide or deny your emotions, as it only deepens the divide. Being vulnerable with your partner allows them to understand your experience and facilitates reconnection. It’s okay to let your partner know you feel resentment, sadness, or frustration.

3. Take responsibility

Ultimately, every relationship involves two individuals. Keeping this in mind, it is important to reflect on your own role in the lack of intimacy and where you may have fallen short. By showing accountability, you’re demonstrating maturity and signaling to your partner that you’re committed to making changes together.
