INTIMACY IS NOT JUST SEX

I was in fellowship of the Jesus women today and my Key takeaways from today’s teachings are:

1. Be deliberate about intimacy with your partner. Make effort.

2. Be a friend of your spouse

3. Be an encourager to your spouse

4. Create time to share with one another

5. Pray and study God’s word together

6. Do things together – have an adventure

7. Intimacy is NOT JUST SEX.

I understand some of us live in the busy environment in diaspora but when we were dating, it was so fun and when we get married, we allow children or work to take over and build a gap. Let us find time and be intentional about our intimacy. Intimacy is not just sex but a lot of other things.

Marriage is instituted by God , its not meant to be distant. Even if you are in different countries, have a set time to speak to each other and have ‘us time’ just you and him/her. Communication is key. Let your partner be able to confide in you when all else fails. Don’t let him be scared to communicate with you.

experiential intimacy…

What can you share about intimacy? how have you been intentional about your relationships outside of sex. Please share so we can also learn from you.

Love you all.
