Show & Share (10-min)
What relationships in your life are most important to you? Do you have a picture of the person in that relationship with you? How often do you spend time with that person or people? Tell us about the type of relationship you have with that person.
Tomorrow's Show & Share: Intimate relationships, like boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, or spouses are very special. Have you had, or do you have, any intimate relationships? Intimacy means a very close connection, closer than a friend.
