The best definition of intimacy I've heard is being able to make yourself vulnerable and still feel safe

[Red_Four]

True intimacy goes far beyond sex. True intimacy means you have someone that you can be vulnerable with and tell all of your deepest most fears and desires and know that person will not betray you.

Until I was in my mid-20s, i never thought i would get married and didn't really seek to. But I did meet someone wonderful, got married, and it was the best decision i ever made by far. Marriage propelled me forward and showed me a new dimension of life i never would have known. Then having a child did it yet again. These relationships bring meaning and help make life good.

Being married to the wrong person is a killer.

[HONEYSUCKLE]

Marriage can be a lonely and abusive place to be so I recommend make sure your know the person and his family very well before taking that step of Faith.. it’s not just about sexual relationships it’s so much more

[matthewbridgeman]

The Bible made it very clear to me what a true partnership between a man a woman really means. I am happy and I am whole. I don't need anything else.

Still no answere for: Why get married?

[CatherineInColorado]

It's so refreshing to listen to a man like Jordan Peterson discuss the meaning of true intimacy and marriage. 💛

Guarantees Of Marriage:

1. The sex will stop.
2. Man just signed off 1/2 of his fortune to her.
3. She's guaranteed alimony from him until the day she dies.
4. Any children the couple may have, she will get custody.
5. If fighting turns physical and the police get involved, the man is at fault by default.
6. Never enter into a contract where one party is rewarded for breaking it.

Men aren't afraid of marriage.
They're terrified of divorce.

Matthew Kelly had a talk called "The Seven Levels of Intimacy" that really explored this emotional intimacy that Dr. Peterson is talking about. Not just in romantic partnerships, but in all relationships.

I liked everything Dr. Peterson had to say in this video.
Finding someone is not so easy though. Sometimes a person just gets frustrated and decides to give up on that, instead just tries to make a fulfilling life for themselves without a partner.

[chrysteller]

You only get to know your partner after you date and live with the person for a long time
While dating, people are in their best behaviors and all they do is meet to do something fun or entertaining. ... Dinner date, Beach days, movies, week ends, vacations trips, events ...
When you live with the person, you get know them on good and bad days ... Then you know when the relation flows naturally, without much efforts even during hardship times and without all the various $ entertainment ....or it does not...

Thank you for clarifying the definition of intimacy! You express yourself authentically! ❤

[Son-of-Dad]

There’s no upside if you’re a man. It’s a bad contract. If it fails women come out on top.

[Humble_Dude]

I think that intimacy means compromising yourself and showing the true you to the other person in terms of how emotional you can get, what triggers these emotions and how you feel after the intimacy act is done. It does include but is not limited to sex, there are many ways to express love or need for example. What I know is that I barely explained intimacy as it is a very deep topic and the only way to understand it is to experience it yourself. And how to trust someone enough to perform the act of intimacy with? Marriage.

The question remains...why get married? especially when marriage is deceptively marketed as a crucial stage for love, when it's actually a financial institution. U can have an intimate relationship without the need of an institution of marriage. So what remains a mystery is the logic behind it.

[PlumbingPredator]

Id say after having no relationship for a while, though was happy being alone and then having a long-term 10 year relationship thus far. I'd easily go back to being content alone again. Once you discover yourself, any person entering your life should make things easier not more complicated, to a certain degree.

'People want...a partner!' 😂😂😂

[TroyHill]

The bottom line, the older I get and the more experience I have with life, the more I see that happiness and life satisfaction has almost nothing to do with how a person seems to be living, or any circumstance.

I mean, I know married people who are happy, single people who are miserable, I know single people who are happy, married people who are miserable, I know polyamorous couples who are some of the smartest and most efficient people in the world. I know some people who are perpetual playboys who are miserable, some who are almost manically happy and major social contributors to society. Again, no correlation between any of this at all in life satisfaction or meaning, none of that stuff. I mean, I know people who have huge families, who are genuinely just totally depressed. It's like, how can that be? Well life is complex LOL

I mean, it's one thing to say this is the answer, or that is the answer... But I think the only true answer is that, like so much of human psychology, it's complex, and it depends a lot on the person, their environment, and really, their genetics... I feel like it's laughable to have these sorts of discussions without talking about genes like COMT and DRD4, etc, among hundreds more.. Literally MILLIONS of polymorphisms, all playing into personality and satisfaction. Not to mention this doesn't even get into the discussion of hormones, which are major mediators in all sorts of social behaviors. Hormones in brain chemistry are also affected by the environment, which is of confuse filled with all sorts of estrogenic and androgen blocking toxins, and is even affected by just regular minerals in the groundwater. I recently read a study in which countries that have higher ground levels of lithium in the water have way lower rates of violent crimes. The bottom line is, social structure isn't so simple. Guys like Jordan Peterson would of course like you to believe that there is really just a few ways to rise to the top, where you find success and happiness if only you just xyz, but it's simply not true. The secret to life is not to find love, or virtual single life, or sex, or even meaning for that matter (and I happen to really admire existential philosophy, btw)... I think the key of life is to find what works best for you, your individual personality, your brain chemistry, and ultimately, your life. Cheers

Middle age and single. Would be nice to find someone, but don’t care to deal with baggage. Past all of that now.
