Intimacy in your marriage is a God given gift that so many marriages fail to truly develop. God's desire for a husband and wife is to experience love in their relationship while enjoying the fruits of a marriage full of pleasure and passion.
Intimacy is a very pure and sacred element of your marriage. Sexual desire and the expression of love that is consensual between you and your spouse is not wrong or dirty, but instead is a design of God's perfect work. Being able to freely explore your spouse's body and express love and care physically is so very important to the bonding process and the exercising of being of one flesh.
The Word of God defines intimacy in marriage with some of the most delicate words where love flows through the text like a fountain. Below are a couple scriptures where this amazing gift from God weaves itself through the text and paints a picture of what you should have in your marriage with your spouse.
Song of Solomon 2:3-4 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men in his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. "He has brought me to his banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.
Song of Solomon 2:16-17 My beloved is mine, and I am his; He pastures his flock among the lilies. "Until the cool of the day when the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether."
These beautiful passages really breath life through to married couples on how passion, intimacy and satisfaction should be experienced in the relationship. By first understanding that the myths about how God feels about intimacy in marriage are inaccurate depictions, you are able to create true intimacy and pleasure that you and your spouse can share for a lifetime.
