This study found that communicating and describing to your partner what you’re aiming for or seeking — it may concern your personal goals, your work, your desires – tends to evoke the same desires in your partner, in his or her own way. And that creates a greater sense of connection. However, the research, from the University of Basil and described here, raises the possibility of either positive or negative outcomes when you do that with your partner. As I described in a previous article about “radical transparency,” the positive outcome of seeing a shared alignment is that it can strengthen feelings of intimacy; of being on the same “wave length,” together on this journey through life.
