I hope you all enjoyed the meeting with Char last night. In honor of February's healthy relatinship month, we talked about the elements that go into a healthy relationship.
After compiling a list of the top 10 qualities we all look for in relationships, we talked about different kinds of trust, respect and intimacy. Some types of intimacy that Char discussed were:
- Intellectual Intimacy: sharing ideas
- Emotional Intimacy: sharing significant feelings/meanings
- Aesthetic Intimacy: sharing experiences with another person
- Recreational Intimacy: freedom to let the child within us come out when we are with others
- Work Intimacy: sharing common tasks
- Sexual Intimacy: expression of closeness
- Crisis Intimacy: successful coping with internal or external threats
- Commitment Intimacy: mutual concerns for issues and philosophies
- Spiritual Intimacy: sharing of ultimate concerns regarding meaning of life
- Creative Intimacy: sharing emotional and social factors that help each other grow and learn
Some other things that were taken care of:
- We passed out new membership forms and membership renewal forms. Make sure you're at next week's meeting if you haven't filled one of those out yet. Also make sure you get us your membership fees by next week
