God intends that there be an intimacy between the husband and wife so the physical, emotional, and total needs of both can be met in that relationship. This kind of intimacy takes work. It takes commitment. It takes the grace of God to bring two people into a place where they each leave, cleave, and come into unity and intimacy as husband and wife.

It is true that marriage requires a lot of work and commitment. But intimacy with each other starts from the love that you feel for each other and because you love each other, you desire to spend time with the other person, to know his dreams, his goals, his inner most thoughts and things like that. As you get to know your partner in a deeper way, then your intimacy for each other also grows.

Yeah, I agree with in fact intimacy is the willingness to be open and transparent with your mate. It is the sharing of thoughts, dreams, desires, and feelings in a free and flowing relationship. Nothing is hidden or restrained in a truly intimate relationship. There is no shame, fear, or embarrassment in this level of love.

I have just been married for a only year now. We havent had any unhealthyarguments because of we are open to each other. We tellan each other our needs. My husband will always say "i love you" to me everyday and every night. This too I also do. When we have an argument, I always think about what Im will say or just cool myself down. We always say sorry to each other.
We should always put God in the center of our relationship.

I agree with you... If God is the center of our marriage He will make our relationship prosperous.

Marriage is building a bridge between the differences. It is understanding the needs of each other and being supportive. Every appreciation that you give your spouse raises the confindence of your spouse, never lose an opportunity to appreciate and share your feeling with your spouse. Create opportunities to enjoy life with each other.

I like what you share...It may be that one partner is weaker than the other. If you are the stronger one, you may have to bear the burdens of the weaker. But if you'll stand in agreement with God, He'll move in behalf of your marriage, and bring you into harmony together. There's stronger power of agreement on earth than in the marriage union, because in Christ, the husband and wife are one. Jesus said, "...where two or three are gathered in My name. I am there in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).
