How to Increase Intimacy in Your Marriage (Physical and Emotional)

There is nothing on earth like being fully loved.♥

It’s what we dream about from the time we are little girls!

Then we grow up and realize that reality is brutal.

Men are typically not delicate with women and things don’t work like they do in fairy tales. (Hang tight, we’re coming back to this!)

Now I’m almost 40 and most married couples I know don’t even touch eachother.

There is so much hurt and unmet expectation.

It is not even in them to put a hand lovingly on their spouse’s leg.

It is clear to me that we were created to do things much differently then we’re doing them.

So, if you are still flexible and optimistic enough to want BETTER for your own marriage, and if you are humble enough to look at things differently- you are in the PERFECT space to grow and increase intimacy in your marriage.

I wanted him to love God more than anything and make the right decisions in light of that. I still want that- but he is human and a sinner just like we all are.

I'm writing this letter to you because I want you to know a few things:
