If I asked you the definition of intimacy, what would you say?

You may say that “intimacy” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

Or you may say that intimacy is any sexual activity.

But intimacy isn’t just sex; it’s anything that makes you feel close and connected to another person.

Today we’ll focus on the topics of enhancing friendship and closeness in marriage. We’ll cover The Marriage You Want Chapters 3 and 4 on Affection: The Friendship You Want and The Passion You Want. Read on for today’s content:

  • A summary of Chapters 3 & 4

  • Research on intimacy

  • A Mind-Body Practice for expanding intimacy

  • Questions for personal reflection and our discussion
