If you're looking to open up a dialogue with your partner about the lack of physical intimacy in your relationship, it's important to approach the conversation in a respectful and non-confrontational way. Start by letting your partner know that you value them and care deeply about the relationship, but that you would like to talk about how both of you could be more present for each other physically. It can also be helpful to suggest activities or date nights that involve physical touch, such as dancing or massages. Be sure to communicate openly and honestly with each other throughout the conversation, listening actively and validating each other's feelings.
