Intimacy In Marriage

Chapter 6

Intimacy

Most times in a marriage sex and Intimacy are topics that prove to be one of the major hardships in some relationships. A healthy sexual life is so important it’s like oxygen. It’s one way of knowing that your relationships are headed in the right direction. Your bedroom should be a special place where you and your spouse relax, reconnect and re-energize and enjoy one another. My spouse and I have always kept our bedroom a very special place to enjoy.
