SOC 030 Chapter Notes - Chapter 20: Carl Jung
Document Summary
Intimacy- we hunger for it, and fear it. Intimacy is knowing there"s someone who cares about the children as miuch as you do. It"s sitting there having a cup of coffee together and watching the 11 o clock news. It"s knowing you care about the same things. It"s him sitting in the hospital for hours at a time when i was sick. It"s standing by me when i was out of work. It"s knowing we"ll begin and end each day together. Knowing someone is there is constant and can be counted on in just the ways these thoughts express provides the background of emotional security and stability we look for when we enter a marriage. Intimacy is putting aside the masks we wear in the rest of our lives . Another side=is it possible that someone could love the real me? (we have trouble loving ourselves)
