When dating Jewish women, it is important to have emotional intimacy. Emotional intimacy is essential for every couple. It is important for couple to develop this quality as early as they can. The same is true in Jewish dating. Some of you might wonder what emotional intimacy is. To put it simply, emotional intimacy is similar to the feeling of deep friendship and mutual caring between two good friends with the same gender but on a deeper level.
A couple who have a strong emotional connection with each other will have no trouble discussing all sorts of subjects with each other; even the personal ones. They will not hesitate to share things like a funny or interesting experience, a distressing story or even their deepest feelings and thoughts. They are able to do this because they feel secured about talking about these things to each other. Feeling secured with each other makes them feel that they can share almost anything; including their vulnerabilities. People who share these vulnerabilities feel secured that they won’t be turned against them. This is because they know that the person that they are sharing these things with only wants the best for them. Again, this is because of the strong emotional connection that they have both developed.
Now how exactly does a couple develop emotional intimacy? To answer the question in one word: Time. In any relationship, everything takes time; including emotional intimacy. It is something that you won’t be able to develop instantly. Emotional intimacy isn’t the feeling that you are instantly connected to your date when dating Jewish women. It may be similar but remember that emotional intimacy can only developed in one way and that is through time. Having emotional intimacy means that you can both turn to each other in a crisis, share embarrassing secrets or ask your partner to go out of his/her way to help you. All of these will need mutual trust and can only be developed over time.
Dating Jewish women more than one or two times doesn’t mean that you already have developed emotional intimacy. That is more like a warm-up for things to come. Usually, a couple would need six or more weeks of seeing each other at least twice a week in order for them to strengthen their relationship. They would also need to telephone each other between these meetings. I am against the idea of engagement after a few dates. Couples that are aiming for a good marriage should focus on strengthening their emotional connection first before even thinking about marrying each other. It is for their best.
When dating Jewish women, the emotional closeness that both of you develops is what you can consider the foundation of your future relationship. Consider it as a prelude to the future. Emotional intimacy can develop over time but only to a certain point. It is only after a couple start to experience ups and downs of life with each other that they can realize how emotionally intimate a couple can be.
