I imagine you all sitting around turning beet red while talking about such intimate topics. I know I would be so red faced. I find it interesting, or maybe even more accurately amazing, that you, Gaye, Chris, and Bonnie all talk so openly about intimacy in marriage. While it is focused on speaking to women, it is good for clueless guys like me to learn more about how women think.

One thing I always find interesting is the idea of variety. My wife and I don’t have a huge amount of variety and I feel sorry for younger couples who seem to think their intimate lives need to look like the movies, or if they have dabbled or even dived into pornography, they feel like they are not meeting that false expectation. Sure, there is some variety, but there is only so many positions and activities one can enjoy. While we are now in our fifties, we were never gymnasts and we didn’t miss out on anything at all. Just having intimate time together has always been enough.

I also appreciate the emphasis on the idea of having private phrases that we use with each other that is not shared outside our relationship. I can say things to my wife that I would never want anyone else to hear, that convey things that are incredibly personal, and gives us that “just you and me, babe” moments. And we can definitely hit all ten before 2022, but for those newly married, don’t expect it to happen in year one and realize it is a curve that has highs and lows. When the kids are teens, it is harder than when the kids are newborns, even though I would never have thought that when we had infants or toddlers.

A really awesome pod cast and a great round up. Thank you for taking the time to invest in marriages by writing your articles. I know it takes plenty of time that you could be investing elsewhere. I pray that you and the rest of the speakers will have a wonderful Christmas season and enjoy the time with family. I also pray that all who find your website will be blessed by what you write and will experience the amazing love that comes from a relationship with Jesus. A great marriage starts with two people committed to Jesus, understanding that His death and resurrection is what allows us to have access to God, and that it is two imperfect people committed to make a life together despite those imperfections. Merry Christmas.
