Marriage Intimacy

to Help Couples Grow

 

 

Marriage was Designed for Intimacy

Our Marriage is more than an agreement between a man and a woman to cohabitate.  It is relationship designed to build intimacy beyond what many of us have experienced.

Inside our hearts we have hidden hopes that call to us.  To make our spouse, our soulmate. One who, though imperfect, will share with us, care for us and be there for us.  A friend.  A lover.  A confidante.  

We have made life-changing choice and we are hopeful.  We knew that intimacy would be costly, risky, and complex.  We believed we would beat the statistics.  And, in faith, we plunged ahead.

We wanted a spouse who loved us and knew the Real Us.

And all of this was a step of faith.  Investing ourselves in a relationship that could either be the best or worst decision of our lives.

For true believers, we knew that our choice was no accident and that God was part of the relationship because he defined the concept of marriage.  A crazy human relationship closer than family and lifelong in length.

A relationship that has and will challenge who we are and who we want to be.  And hold out the promise of being known intimately by at least one other person in this life.  But realizing that we have more room to grow.

So, if that describes your marriage, we welcome you to the journey.  To finding answers, to building hope and to experiencing true intimacy.

Most of what we share is built on our experience with the re|engage marriage ministry, what we’ve learned from being SYMBIS facilitators and our 40+ years of marriage.

 

“Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.”

“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”

“What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Mark 10:9

“There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.”

— Martin Luthe

“The greatest marriages are built on teamwork. A mutual respect, a healthy dose of admiration, and a never-ending portion of love and grace.”

— Fawn Weaver

“To be fully seen by somebody then and be loved anyhow — this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”

— Elizabeth Gilbert

“Marriage is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do. It’s the way you love your partner every day.”

 Barbara De Angelis

“Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”

 Hebrews 13:4
