Intimacy goes farther than the physical
What is seen in the world today, on social media, movies and community does not represent the God intended covenant marriage. God the creator, and inventor of marriage knows how it should be. It was created under His blessing to be a blessing to each other, humanity, community, society as well as the body of Christ. We have lost the fact that the goal of marriage is not sex, but intimacy . Intimacy goes farther than the physical. It’s total transparency (nakedness) spiritually, and emotionally. Being accepted as you are with flaws, and insecurities. A safe haven knowing you are becoming one flesh in more ways than imagined. In the godly marriage, sex is a benefit of the intimacy that exist in view of the fact of affirmation and relationship.
24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed or embarrassed. Gen2:24,25 (AMP)
