Intimacy Is Worth Our
Best Efforts.
The desire for intimacy between a man and a woman is
as old as the human race. In Genesis, the woman is depicted as being
created from a portion o of man's rib. When the man awoke, there she
stood: similar to him, but different. Something deep within him responded
to something deep within her.
These two realities, similarity and difference, are
the raw material of human intimacy. Without these two, there could be no
intimacy. Men and women are distinct individuals and yet they are related
to each other. There is something in the man that cries out for the woman
and something within the woman that longs for the companionship of the
man.
We find in each other a resting place, a home, a
relative, one to whom we are deeply and uniquely related. Developing this
intimacy is at the heart of what marriage is all about. Intimacy leads to
deep satisfaction. Lack of intimacy produces intense pain. Intimacy is
worth our best efforts.
