One of the relationship coaching tips I offer is "Make the Covert-Overt". Believe it or not, more couples get into trouble with each other for what they do not say, over what they do say. Conversations held only in one's head can distort relationships. One example:Thinking "She really looks sexy tonight!" and not taking the time to say it passes up an opportunity to create a positive vibe. Meanwhile, particularly if she knows she looks hot, and doesn't hear it from her man, she may feel let down and not appreciated. The Tip to greater intimacy is to make covert thinking into overt words. In 20+ years as a marriage counselor,intimacy is the real couple puzzler.
