Intimacy isn't sex! Today that must be stated because so many people misunderstand what real intimacy is all about. The best thing you can do for your relationship is learn how to create an atmosphere of intimacy with your woman. When men take the lead in the intimacy of the relationship, they have better relationships and stronger families, which makes a stronger society.
Real Intimacy Comes with Commitment
- Real intimacy only comes with people who are committed to each other
- Marriage is built on a lifelong commitment
- Marriage was designed to create an environment for the deepest levels of intimacy
- This is why waiting till marriage to have sex is the optimal
- Casual Sex often deadens people on the inside to the true intimacy they can have in relationships
- Without commitment, there is never true intimacy
Commitment Demands Sacrifice
- When you make a commitment to someone, sacrifice is part of that commitment
- The thing is many people go into relationships saying they are committed but aren't willing to make sacrifices
- Marriage has a built-in sacrifice to help seal the commitment
- The commitment and sacrifice of marriage are to breed safety and wholeness for the couple
- Commitment without sacrifice isn't really a commitment
- A commitment must be part of any couple who wants to achieve real intimacy
- As men, if we aren't willing to sacrifice, we aren't ready to commit
Sacrifice Shows through Service
- Service is how we show our sacrifice and commitment
- Most men get this at a base level because serving is something we do
- Service in marriage is how men make their sacrifice
- We are to love our wives so much that we give up our life for her through our service
- When men are willing to serve their wives and families with all of themselves it communicates their commitment
- When a man gives himself wholly to a woman she will gladly walk in intimacy with him
- The key to service is knowing and understanding your wife
- This means you have to pursue closeness with her to serve the best way
- As men learn how to effectively serve their wives, they will build incredibly deep and intimate relationships
