Sleeping next to someone you love has its benefits, too. For one, it can help strengthen your bond and create a sense of intimacy. When you're physically close, you're more likely to feel connected and attuned to each other's needs.
Research suggests that Indonesian couples often value emotional intimacy and companionship over physical intimacy (Koeswara, 2017). This is reflected in the importance of "doi" (a term used to describe a romantic partner) and the emphasis on building a strong emotional connection.
