Intimate relationship

Intimate relationships are really special connections that people have with each other. These are usually with people who you really care about and who you like to spend time with. This could be with your parents, siblings, friends, or someone special like a boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse. In an intimate relationship, you talk to each other and share your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. You also work together to help each other and do nice things for each other. It's a special type of connection that feels really nice!
