What Does a "Deeper Connection" Mean?

So many of my clients come into therapy seeking a deeper connection.  Usually, one partner is describing needing a deeper connection in order to feel happy, sexual, content in the relationship.  The other partner often has no clue what a "deeper connection" means or looks like.  Its pretty hard to create/achieve something that you don't understand.  It makes sense that this is a place that many couples get stuck.  

So, what does a deeper connection look like?  What does it mean?  How do we achieve this allusive thing?  My next several blog posts are going to begin tackling this topic.
