Intimacy has become very distorted in the media and throughout the world. I felt like the discussions we had in class about why intimacy is important in a marriage were very interesting. As married couples, we need intimacy to feel attractive, appreciated, comforted, as well as identifying specific gender roles in a marriage. One of the most important reasons intimacy is crucial in a marriage is because it allows us to create/build our individual family units. I know that as a newlywed, I am not currently ready to add children to our family yet, but that it is something that we look forward to doing. We are now focusing on how to get to know one another in all aspects of our marriage. We are grateful for the gift of intimacy that we are now allowed to partake of. I liked the analogy of the gift, and as members of the Church, this can often be an awkward thing to address, but it is a beautiful thing. Intimacy in a marriage can improve a bad marriage and bring more love and attention to important details of one another’s needs. One of the most memorable parts of class was when Brother Williams said that you can tell how a marriage is functioning based on the couples sexual experience. Sex goes beyond the physical, it is an emotional bond that belongs within the bounds of marriage.
