Intimacy and Love
As I have read through the chapter I am learning more and more about the true meaning of intimacy. Prior to this class, intimacy is a term I thought only pertained to sexual relationships. I was unaware that intimacy exists in all relationships that we have. While reading into the chapter I was also able to see the distinctions between the levels of love. Every relationship I have contains different levels of intimacy and love. The chapter helped me characterize my relationships and determine what level of intimacy and love existed in each of them. It is relieving to know that there is no single level of love that exists. Rather, there are many levels that we can experience in the relationships we form with others. As I read on in the text I hope to be able to understand my relationships and the levels of intimacy and love I hold in them.
