How to avoid someone getting comfortable and used to you?

When people get married, with time, they become so comfortable with each other that they are no longer embarrassed to be naked in front of the other. It gets to the point that sometimes they don’t even care to close the bathroom door. In the beginning of bf/gf relationships, people try to impress one another. They want to try and hide any flaws but with time, they become so comfortable that they start to open up and they start to those flaws. Eventually, they even disrespect each other. Now, I am not saying this is the answer to ANY relationship but let’s say you move in with a partner and you want to make sure they do NOT get that comfortable with you. How would you do that and how do you make sure they still feel embarrassed every time they’re naked in front of you even though they will be naked in front of you rather often?

    Why would you be uncomfortable with being naked with your significant other? Especially in context of a long-term committed relationship.. that's a pretty big red flag that there is a major lack of trust. Trust is one of the biggest reasons why people behave in those ways. They know the other person won't judge them. Granted, I think I would always close the bathroom door.. but that's just me. A little mystery when it comes to bodily functions is probably for the best. 

    If you don't want your partner to see any and everything. Like gross things.. then just establish boundaries in the beginning by simply always closing the door. If they don't, then just politely ask them to when they are in there doing their business. 

    Some boundaries are healthy but ..just make sure that there aren't so many and are not so high that those boundaries become walls. Walls that keep your partner from knowing you and being close to you. As that can lead to the breakdown and/or the end of a relationship as well.
