Have you ever asked yourself whether true intimacy in marriage is an achievable goal or just an elusive dream? What if we told you that true emotional and sexual intimacy could not only be achieved but also fostered and grown with time? As we share our personal experiences and insights, we reveal the significance of openness, vulnerability, and communication in achieving a deep and meaningful bond with your spouse. It's a candid discussion that exposes how one's sins can act as a roadblock to intimacy, and the importance of striking that delicate balance in approaching sex within marriage.
We then steer the conversation towards the boundaries of sex within the Christian marriage—defining what is permissible and what isn’t. There's a focus on adultery and how involving others in any way, physically or even in thought, is considered sinful. But that's not all, we shed light on the value of respecting your spouse's conscience and stepping away from ego-centric actions. We share our perspective on the role of sex in marriage— a gift to be cherished and an opportunity to glorify God.
Lastly, we delve into the beauty and purpose of God's design for marriage and the role intimacy plays in that divine plan. The importance of working on your marriage, seeking help when necessary, and forming relationships with fellow believers to fortify your marital bond is emphasized. We hope our open and honest conversation will inspire you to broach this important subject with your spouse. So tune in, and let's grow in intimacy together!
