Protect Your Intimacy

The things you don’t notice can sometimes rob the most from your marriage.

Let us shed some light on the top 3 intimacy killers you face on a daily basis.

Technology

Too much blue light can quickly create the blues in your relationship.

There is a saying that love is spelled T-I-M-E. If that's the case, how much love are you giving your smartphone?

Consider how your intimacy would improve if you gave that time to your spouse.

Broken Trust

You can’t connect on a meaningful level if you don’t trust each other.

We have many resources to help with the issue of trust because, let’s be honest, it hurts to not trust the one you are supposed to trust the most.

So buckle up and have a conversation that you have been meaning to have. You’ll be surprised how much stronger you are when you can breathe again because the air is clear.

Commitments

Unscheduled time flows towards emergencies or powerful people.

The good news is, you’ll always stay busy. The bad news is, you’ll stay busy with the wrong stuff.

Make sure you have quality time on the books with your one and only will keep you going strong in and out of the sheets.

Create it intentionally, tend it diligently, and you’ll see the right things flourish and the wrong things dwindle.

B. 45%

C. 65%

D. 85%

According to a study reported in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity, 45% of men reported that they were unsatisfied with their penis size and wanted to be larger.

This means that it’s on a lot of men’s minds and it’s something that could affect your sexual intimacy.

But what’s behind all the conversations around the penis, and why does it matter?

When you research the penis, you learn the it represents power, fertility, and sexuality.

It’s easy to see why we are conditioned to believe that the larger the penis, the more of that a man he might be.

But what you really have to ask yourself is: Is larger really better? Does size matter? What’s normal?

It’s amazing what can happen when a couple gets intentional when talking about all areas of their marriage, including the topics that may seem difficult to talk about.
