Sexual Intimacy

Sex can be a wonderful, sacred experience. 

The best way for that to happen is for sexual intimacy to occur only between a husband and wife who are married. I'm recently married and I'm so grateful that both my husband and I waited until we were married to have sex. It made the experience so much more special and meaningful since it was the first time for the both of us. It gave us the opportunity to learn and grow together and become one.

Since male and female response cycles are so different, it takes time to learn about each other's needs and wants. A common misconception is about women's response cycles. Sex has to be a decision for a woman. They have to feel safe, emotionally connected, and have nonsexual touches outside the bedroom to decide to have sex. Once a woman decides, then the men must include the talk and touch. For a woman to have any desire, she needs to have that emotional connection and touching outside the bedroom. This makes her feel safe and loved and more comfortable to give of herself to her husband. 

There are benefits to being so different though. This gives the spouses an opportunity to think about the other person and their needs more. The more selfless you are, the closer relationship you will have. Once a couple puts in an effort to understand each other and talk to each other, they can be on the same page. When this happens, when a husband and wife can understand each other and know how to help the other, it will make sex that much more satisfying!
