Sexual Intimacy in Marriage

This week we discussed the importance of Intimacy in Marriage. One of the things that I got out of it is that couples need to work on it. This is such a vital part of having a healthy marriage. Sex isn't like how you see it portrayed on TV or in the movies. It is something that takes work, communication, patience, love and unselfishness. I feel that Satan tries so hard to make couples mess up with immorality before marriage. It is very likely then that he is trying with just as much effort after we get married to ruin marriage with bad intimacy in marriage.

Its kind of an uncomfortable subject to talk about, but it is important to know the anatomy of your spouse and know how they work in intercourse. If you don't know this, it can make it very difficult to ensure that your spouses needs are being met. AND it is very important that intimacy in marriage is a wonderful experience for each of you, otherwise it will lead to one not wanting to do it. Then that can lead to more problems and bigger problems. SO it is important to talk to each other and to be kind and considerate of each other. Its also important to know that men and women often show affection differently. Men often try to express their love by making love, when in reality, their wives feel most loved by being cuddled or being told how beautiful they are. So it is a must to learn each others love language and LEARN how to speak it!!!
