Summary
Friend, this chat is critical. As we attempt to reframe our view of sex, we are missing the mark if we continue to focus on a narrow and limiting view of “sexual activity” vs. the oneness and meaning that comes through “sexual intimacy.”
Let’s unpack the differences, think about how we got here and how we find a way forward. And, let’s embrace a lifestyle of love making, where intimacy permeates every aspect of a marriage.
We’ll dig into these topics:
-
The traditional view of sex as solely sexual activity is limited and fails to capture the depth and beauty of sexual intimacy.
-
A more aligned with design view of sex, sexual intimacy, which involves vulnerability, communication, and connection, and extends beyond the bedroom into all aspects of a marriage.
-
Practicals for creating a lifestyle of love making prioritizes intellectual, physical, and emotional intimacy, creating a more integrated and fulfilling experience.
-
Encouragement to have open conversations in your marriage about your sexual experiences and work towards deepening their sexual intimacy.
