A happy new month to you and welcome to the shortest month of the year.
For close to three decades I have been privileged to lead and share with people about life especially in the area of leadership, finance, and relationship; and it has been an adventure.
Relationship is very important in the life of every individual; and when people finally get married many other unique issues become vital and need to be taken seriously.
The top of those issues are sex and parenting because they are two of the things no one is expected to have outside marriage.
Sex outside marriage is contrary to the Creator’s plan and purpose
Having children outside marriage is contrary to the Creator’s plan and purpose
This month of love is a time when a lot of singles mess themselves up with the valentine’s virus.
A lot of virgins lose their virginity in February
A lot of singles get involved in sexual immorality this month
A lot of couples also get into the trap of infidelity.
Intimacy in marriage is not negotiable for marriage to really be what the Creator had in mind when He instituted marriage, because marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not to be endured.
A lot of couples confuse intimacy with sex, the fact that you are having sex in your marriage does not mean that you are experiencing true intimacy, because intimacy is more than sex.
There are three major aspects to intimacy in marriage and they all have to be in place for a Marriage to really journey into the place of intimacy.
Spiritual Intimacy
Emotional Intimacy
Sexual Intimacy
You can’t have intimacy in your marriage without having all these three in place because they are intertwined and affects one another. Lack of spiritual intimacy will affect emotional intimacy and lack of emotional intimacy will affect sexual intimacy. Couples who really want to enjoy the best in their marriage need to make these three aspects of intimacy a priority and work on it consistently and together.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:24-25 | KJV
Three words came out of these verses of the scripture that needs to be noted and understood because they affect intimacy in marriage.
LEAVE – CLEAVE – BECOME
LEAVING: To have intimacy in marriage there are people, places, things, mindsets, habits, and beliefs that you must leave behind.
CLEAVING – To have intimacy in marriage there is the need to realize the value and uniqueness of marriage and cleave to your spouse as the most important person next to God.
BECOMING – To have intimacy in marriage is a journey and every couple should make that journey a priority. That journey takes three Ts, it takes TIME, it takes TWO and it takes.
Another one from Mrs Ayomikun Adebayo
