Summary

In this first episode of the Intentional Intimacy summer series, Francie shares a powerful truth: intimacy doesn’t thrive in a rush—it grows in margin. Discover how small moments of white space, like a morning hug or a slow walk, can open the door to deeper connection in your marriage. This is your invitation to pause, check in, and create room for love to grow—one simple habit at a time.
