Sit Close and Talk

Learn how physical proximity increases emotional connection. Sit side-by-side instead of across from each other and have a conversation.

Why This Matters

Physical proximity increases emotional intimacy. When you sit side-by-side instead of across from each other, conversations feel more connected. It's a simple way to rebuild the connection that got lost.

The Secret: Proximity Creates Connection

Being physically close while talking creates a different kind of connection than sitting across from each other. It feels more intimate, more connected.

How to Sit Close and Talk

1. Choose Side-by-Side

Instead of sitting across from each other:

- Sit on the same couch

- Sit next to each other on a bench

- Sit side-by-side at a table

2. Be Close

Don't sit at opposite ends. Sit close. Your bodies should be near each other.

3. Actually Talk

This isn't about watching TV together. It's about talking:

- Ask questions

- Share your day

- Talk about your relationship

- Have a real conversation

4. Make It Regular

Don't do it once. Make it a regular thing. Same time, same place.

What Makes It Work

Physical proximity: You're close, not far apart.

Actual conversation: You're talking, not just being near each other.

Regularity: You do it often, not just sometimes.

Presence: You're actually there, not distracted.

Common Mistakes

Sitting across from each other: That's not the same.

Not actually talking: Being near each other isn't enough—you need to talk.

Being distracted: Put your phone away, be present.

Only doing it once: Make it a regular thing.

The Win

You sat close and talked. You felt more connected. Physical proximity increased emotional intimacy. That's a win.
