Appreciations
Whatever you feel good about, let your partner know. When you see something in your partner you appreciate, express it -- with words...and gestures ;)

New Information
Intimacy thrives only when both partners know what is going on in each other's lives. It may be related to work, family,gossip, fears, interest -- anything and everything, trivial and important, that helps keep your partner up on your state, mood and, generally, what's going on in your life.

Puzzles
If there are things you don't understand that your partner could clarify, ask for clarification.

Complaints with Requests for Change
This shouldn't be blaming or judgmental. The idea is to provide information. Romance may thrive on mystery, but intimacy doesn't. Try this format: "When you…, I feel…, What I want instead is…"

Wishes, Hopes, and Dreams
If your expectations are different from mine, it doesn't make one of us noble and the other ignoble. It just means that we are all different and in being different we have different expectations. The more we can bring these expectations into our awareness and talk about them, the more possibility there is that we will reach some accord.
