Forget fireworks and butterflies, true connection in a relationship goes way beyond fleeting feelings. It's about building a bond as sturdy and beautiful as a redwood, weathered by life's storms but rooted in unwavering love and understanding.
You feel safe to share your insecurities and dreams.
You have space to express emotions freely (highs and lows).
You value non-sexual touch as much as sexual touch.
You have deep respect for one another.
You engage in deep and meaningful conversations.
You have space to show up as you are (from moment to moment).
You feel genuinely seen and understood.
You feel accepted (quirks and all).
You encourage and support each other to grow.
You are comfortable being vulnerable and imperfect.
You share inside jokes and/or shared experiences.
You are at ease with silence and giving each other space.
…and then you wake up. j/k
