How much does your childhood impact your marriage?

Our childhood and early family life are often a template to how we relate and function as adults.

This also impacts our love life and relationships although it may not seem apparent at first as these early experiences provide a model of how we respond to others in our adult life.  They become embedded and embodied within us to create a set of behavioural patterns and habits.

Ask yourself these questions:

Do you give or receive affection easily?
Do you feel uncomfortable with hugs and kisses?
Do you remember your parents being affection with each other?
Was your family a nurturing environment?
Were you raised in a lovely and warm family where love was freely displayed?
Do you feel uncomfortable with intimacy?

As a therapists specialising in intimacy and relationship coaching we have worked with many couples and individuals who feared intimacy. They were scared to get to close to their partner emotionally, physically and sexually as a result of childhood experiences and early family life.

We all have the potential to create a loving and intimate relationships emotionally, physically and sexually.

However for some they must first heal their childhood and develop new inner resources and abilities to create a new model and template for intimacy and relationships.

Just imagine a loving and nurturing relationship where you naturally give and receive, understand each other on a new level and create a happy and fulfilling life together.

This is where The Heart of Relationships can help.
