What is Deepening?

The relationship is gaining new layers of understanding and intimacy over time. Deepening happens when both people are willing to go further than the surface and sit with what they find. It often follows periods of challenge that revealed something true about each person.

When you might feel deepening

Deepening is a specific form of growing together, which itself is a type of evolving. You might experience this feeling in situations where evolving is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define deepening.
