In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Emotional intimacy is comprised of empathy, understanding, and compassion, which all hinge on being a good listener to your partner. Build your emotional intimacy by learning to listen and truly understand one another. When your partner speaks, lean in and let them finish their thoughts before cutting them off or adding what you want to say.  Aim to understand their thoughts and feelings before contributing your own. Ask questions to better understand each other. Reflect your understanding back to your partner to make sure you’ve got it right by saying something like, “What I hear you saying is that you haven’t brought it up because you’ve been ashamed.” For some couples, sex is a taboo subject and it’s difficult to talk about problems, desires, and needs. Allow each other to voice concerns, fears, and feelings. Open communication means that both partners can contribute to work together instead of blaming or shaming one another.  Bring up the topic by saying, “I think it’s important to address sex and find ways to help both of us feel fulfilled.” Talking about sexual frustrations and problems can help partners not build anger, disappointment, and resentment. You or your partner may feel ashamed or embarrassed about erectile dysfunction. Never put yourself or your partner down or make them feel judged or ‘less than’ sexually. If you blame your partner for a lack of sex or are critical of their performance, this can make them feel ashamed and can make the dysfunction worse. Be careful when talking about your partner’s performance and try to keep all language and discussions hopeful.  For example, use “I” statements so that you are not blaming your partner but still speaking truthfully. You can say, “I’m having a hard time, too. I love having sex with you so it’s difficult for me to adjust to this change.”  Tell your partner which aspects of your sexual relationship you enjoy and value. Place any problems with your sex life within this context to ensure the conversation remains positive. Good communication can improve satisfaction for both you and your partner. If your partner is struggling to get an erection, take the pressure off and ask them what they want. They may want you to touch them or kiss them in a different way or different area. Ask them to tell you what they want or show you what they want. While it’s nice to put the focus on your partner, make sure you still feel comfortable  and engaged. Don’t be afraid to speak up if something is outside of your comfort zone.
Summary: Listen to one another. Speak candidly about sex. Talk about sex positively. Ask what your partner wants sexually.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Relax your jaw to make your speech a lot clearer with some exercises.  Make wide chewing motions while humming gently. Stretch every muscle in your jaw and face. Open your mouth as wide as possible (as if you were about to yawn), while moving your jaw in circles, and sideways. Open your mouth wide, as in the previous exercise, and shut it again. Repeat 5 times. Make a buzzing sound with your lips together, but don't clench your jaw. Just like breathing, your posture plays a large role in your speech clarity, and it's something that we sometimes forget to take into account.  For best speech clarity you should stand straight with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distributed. Do some shoulder rolls and standing side bends to help with your posture.These simple exercises will also help you with your breathing, and you can even do your jaw strengthening techniques while you stretch. Doing vocal warmups will loosen you up and prepare your voice so you can speak clearly and effectively.  Even if you're not singing, you can do some scales or just hum. Try singing your tongue twisters too. Do some “Whooos!” going up and down. Picture your voice like a ferris wheel going round and round. Hum and pat your chest. This can help knock out any phlegm you may have. When you clench your teeth you're causing a lot of strain on yourself and it can be a sign of stress. And speaking with a clenched jaw will prevent you from opening your mouth enough to enunciate and speak clearly. If you find yourself clenching your jaw, practice some of the warmups, and take a moment to take a deep breath slowly exhaling by letting your breath buff your cheeks out, as if you're letting air out of a balloon. Your vocal chords are like a machine that needs to stay well oiled. Gargle some lukewarm water with a pinch of salt to keep them limber. This helps relieve tension in the throat.
Summary: Practice jaw exercises to enhance clarity of speech. Watch your posture. Warm your vocal chords. Avoid speaking with clenched teeth. Stay hydrated.
