GREATER INTIMACY
IN YOUR
MARRIAGE!
BY DR. JAMES C. DOBSON
When a husband and wife achieve true intimacy, they will naturally
desire to share their romantic feelings at the deepest level. By Gods
design, one of the most pleasurable ways for couples to express their
profound love and appreciation is through His gift of sexual intimacy.
This fiery, romantic, sexually intimate love is not achieved overnight. It develops
between a man and woman through a process called marital bonding. Such bonding
refers to the emotional covenant that links a man and woman together for life and
makes them intensely valuable to one another. It is the specialness that sets those
two lovers apart from every other couple on the face of the earth. It is Gods gift of
intimate companionship.
I believe the Lord knew just what He was doing when He established these
fundamental differences between us. After all, if women were more like men,
wed all probably spend so much time in the bedroom that wed never get
anything else done. And if men were more like women, wed enjoy many more
meaningful conversationsbut the species might just disappear!
Our differences are what make life so interesting and invigorating. They
force us to reach out, to grow, to appreciate our partner. When a husband is
extroverted and the wife is introverted, the husband draws out the wife, while
the wife helps the husband take time to reflect. When a wife is spontaneous
and her husband is a planner, she brings energy and excitement to his life,
while he adds stability to hers.
For over three decades, Dr. James Dobson has been Americas leading authority and advocate
for the family. This material is excerpted from Dr. Dobsons 5 Essentials for Lifelong Intimacy,
