Sex and Intimacy

One of the things I have learned is that husbands are sexual.  Not only that, but they need certain attention paid to them that we don't always understand. 

I believe that is why wives are told in Ephesians 5:24 to submit to their husbands in everything. 

EVERYTHING??  Ewwwww!!!!

When my husband is feeling aroused and feisty (I just love that word), I am bound by my covenant to help him through that feeling.

I have also learned that sex and intimacy are not the same thing.  At least not to my husband.  He wants to feel close to me.  He wants too know me all kids of ways, and he wants me to know him.  All kinds of ways. 

Sometimes he just needs me to lay next to him.  Sometimes he wants to explore me.  Sometimes he wants to get right down to business.  Sometimes I have to understand that sex to him isn't about coitus.  It's about the two of us exploring and getting to know each other more intimately, with all five senses.

Something to think about when you get into bed tonight...
