The Passionate Partners Relationship

You Have Chemistry and Connection.  Let’s Deepen It.

You’re that couple. People see you and want what you got – chemistry, attraction, and excitement flow easily between you. It’s a beautiful thing! Maybe New Relationship Energy is in full effect, but when those chemicals wear off, what’s left behind? Deep emotional intimacy requires more than passion. Are you exposing your whole self – fears, hopes, flaws – and feeling unconditionally accepted? What new dimensions of closeness could you explore?

Why You’re Thriving:

• There’s strong chemistry and physical connection. You are hot for each other. Love, or lust, is coursing through your veins. It feels good. You feel invincible and want this feeling to last forever. 
• You’re deeply drawn to each other’s energy. Intense attraction makes everyone else pale in comparison. You’re in a secret club of two and it’s amazing, a match made in sexy heaven.
• You inspire excitement and desire in each other, you see each other in your best lights, you are interacting from your highest selves.

What You Might Be Overlooking:

• You may be skimming the surface emotionally because the physical connection feels so satisfying. Maybe you’re afraid to touch on the uglier truths lurking in there, Are you avoiding vulnerability or uncomfortable conversations?
• Confusing physical closeness with full emotional intimacy is a common mistake made by couples who are blinded by love and lust in the early stages. Things are so good… how could they be bad? This person is perfect! Ah, but they’re not! Your less attractive traits will appear – do you want to let them run the show?

What You Can Do for Your Relationship:

• Create safe spaces for deeper emotional sharing, even if it feels risky and may reveal some uncomfortable realities (a note on timing: you don’t necessarily need to do this in the first few months of a relationship but plan on getting there eventually). This paves the way for the deepest, truest, most full-spectrum intimacy possible. 
• Practice asking vulnerable questions and sharing unfiltered truths. Show yourself in various contexts and practice loving the full person in front of you, even if there are parts that are less than ideal. Let them know. 
• Explore activities and conversations that build emotional trust, not just physical connection. Talk about the future, discuss your values. Find your flexibility and also your important boundaries. Who is this human, who are you and can you get really really close in addition to enjoying all the hot passion?

How Coaching Can Help:

• Coaching can guide you in cultivating emotional intimacy alongside physical passion. Through nonjudgmental, safe guidance you’ll explore together what’s beyond the current infatuation and get ahead of any nasty surprises, insecurities or flaws so they don’t blindside you. Go from good to great. 
• Help you embrace vulnerability as a tool for greater closeness using proven tools and frameworks that make difficult conversations feel loving and drama-free. 
• You’ll learn communication skills that deepen trust, acceptance, and unconditional love, rather than just “figuring it all out” on your own, when life shoves those realities in front of you. 
• You’ll be supported in envisioning your future, aligned and in love, considering 12 key relationship facets.
