“Intimacy is not something you have; it's something you do.”
— Esther Perel

Simplified Meaning:
Intimacy is about actions and how you treat someone, not just a feeling or state of being. For example, having a close friendship isn't just about saying you are friends; it’s about spending time together, sharing stories, supporting each other, and showing care through your actions. Like in a marriage, intimacy grows from talking openly, showing affection, and understanding each other's needs. So, if you want to build intimacy, you need to actively engage with the other person, listen to them, and be there for them. This means making an effort to connect at a deeper level regularly. Making these small, consistent efforts helps maintain and deepen your connection.
