The Number One Thing Needed
If I were to create a poll and offer it to the general public asking, “What is the number one thing needed for successful intimacy in a relationship?”, - What do you think the answer would be? I think the top answer would be “ communication”. And I’d say that’s a really great answer because communication is a huge factor in cultivating a vibrant and healthy relationship.
