Intense intimacy can lead to an exchange in energy, which results in sharing of thought and emotional patterns, energetic blocks and karmas
A romantic relationship is a union between two people; energetically it is certainly the case.
There are many kinds of energetic connections that we can form. Among them, the romantic connection is the one that leads to intense energy exchange between us and the person we are connected with. When energy is exchanged between you and your lover, it results in sharing of thought and emotional patterns, energetic blockages and karmas between you two. It can be for better or worse, depending on what kinds of thought and emotional patterns your lover has, and how much and what kinds of blockages and karmas they have to handle.
Some have suggested that (physical) sex is the act that leads to the energy exchange. However, just the thought of being intimate with your lover can already exchange your energy with theirs, even when no physical action is performed, as our thoughts carry energy. Remember: "where the thought goes, energy flows" (quote from Vedic astrologer and scholar Eve Mendoza)! As a prerequisite for this energy exchange, the energetic connection between you and your lover has to be present. If it is cut or severely blocked, then there will be no energy exchange.
This energy exchange phenomenon also matches with the astrological narrative. In astrology, marriage can activate some planetary energies on one's astrological chart. However, intense energy connections and exchange between you and your lover can already activate those energies even without having any legally binding agreement. Furthermore, you two's charts can influence each other (e.g. synastry), which is an astrological way to describe how your lover could affect you energetically.
