Technology - you’ve got to love it. Or hate it. When it comes to relationships, technology is a double-edged sword. Yes, it’s great to be able to connect with your mate using a quick text: “Meet me at 6:30 rather than 6:00.” Sure, it’s fun to send a link to your partner on a particular topic.

The word intimate refers to your private and essential being. Usually people think it means sharing personal information or having sex. Real intimacy is far more.
