Naked Intimacy.
How to Increase
True Openness in Your
Relationship.
Opening our heart is a requirement in a love relationship. It is not
optional. If we are afraid of revealing ourselves, love may never
develop, or it may wither quietly. Whether love that isn’t nurtured
by authenticity never blossoms or simply deteriorates over time is
not important. In either case, it will ultimately be unsatisfactory.
