One more hint on ramping up intimacy: be sure to make plenty of eye contact. During the dating phase of a relationship, extensive eye contact is the norm. You know, the old 'gazing into your lover's eyes' thing. As familiarity sets in, there is typically less and less direct eye contact. As a result, partners begin to feel less visible and less important to each other.
Looking directly at your partner is a sign that you're paying attention. During conversation, you're also more likely to hear what your partner is saying if you're making eye contact - and your partner is more likely to feel heard.
Eye contact is particularly intimate during lovemaking. If you usually close your eyes during sex, you might want to try keeping them open. You may find that it opens up a whole new avenue of connection.
