Intimacy is a word, an idea, that the world reduces to nothing more than sex. But, there is so much more. In this episode, we’re taking Intimacy out of the bedroom and exploring ways to bring life to your relationship.
We get it. Marriage is work. Keeping a marriage healthy is hard when a career, to-do lists, kids and busy-ness distract us. It’s further complicated by personality differences and our own unique stores and the baggage we bring into it. We encourage you to take the next 30 minutes to learn about 7 layers or aspects of Intimacy.
Each one is a unique and necessary piece to making the connection you have with your spouse even stronger.
Grab a paper and pencil - you’ll want to take notes. Learning how to invest in all the layers of intimacy is your next step in “Becoming Whole.”
Highlights:
The lack of emotional intimacy can easily dry out a marriage and leave you with a roommate instead of a husband or a wife.
Pay attention to how you’re different and honor it but also move towards each other
Gods design that a husband and wife coming together in a sexual union would be the one way that new life would be created on the earth that’s pretty profound
Questions:
List some ways you and your spouse are different. Now, what are some ways you can honor those differences?
Be honest, do you offer a hug, a kiss, or hold hands hoping that gesture will lead to sex?
How vulnerable are you with your spouse? A big part of that answer can be found in your “family of origin.” Growing up, did your family lead with emotions, or was your family more intimidated by feelings?
