## Worth keeping in mind

- Notice when emotional distance is replacing closeness.
- Use check-ins to talk about needs with less pressure.
- Repair small misses that make intimacy feel less safe.
- Keep appreciation and curiosity part of the week.

> Notice when emotional distance is replacing closeness.

Intimacy in a relationship grows when partners feel seen, safe, wanted, and understood. Swooni supports the everyday habits that protect emotional intimacy: check-ins, repair, appreciation, curiosity, and follow-through.

> Swooni is not therapy and does not replace professional help. If a relationship feels unsafe, abusive, or in crisis, reach out to qualified local support or emergency services.

## Intimacy is not only physical

Many couples are really looking for emotional intimacy: feeling known, chosen, and safe enough to be honest. Swooni helps those signals become easier to notice and repeat.

## Repair protects closeness

Unrepaired tension can make partners pull away. Swooni helps couples come back to each other with clearer repair and smaller, steadier moments of care.

One small next step

## Start with one moment you can actually talk about.

Not the whole history. Not the giant talk. Just one thing that would make the next few days feel a little clearer.
