How Do We Get Closer As A Couple?

Kara Lissy for Bustle

"At some point in a long-term relationship, each partner will have to take turns being the caretaker and the one in need of being cared for," Kara Lissy, LCSW, a psychotherapist specializing in relationships, tells Bustle. This might mean sitting in long doctor's appointments, or letting each other vent when times get tough — things that aren't always easy to do.

But, as Lissy says, these moments can create a "wonderful opportunity for intimacy and important conversations about what you and/or your partner need in order to feel cared for." And that can have a positive impact on the rest of your relationship.
