I was asked about this one day so here it is. I pray that it helps. This doesn't have to be every day, just cultivated into your marriage on a regular basis.
Intimacy starts in the morning. It's carried throughout the day. It's an embrace before getting out of bed, a short phone call or text (funny or flirty) Intimacy is holding hands, a whisper in the ear, an unexpected soft kiss on her neck. It's conversation (doesn't have to be deep), compliments, and empowerment. Intimacy is Spontaneous prayers, singing/playing love song, dancing allowed. Intimacy is vulnerable, unselfish attentive, and a willingness to serve. Intimacy is important. There are so many ways to bring Intimacy into your marriage. If you're doing this great. If not, start. The more you do it, the more natural it will become for you.
Oh, this isn't just a list for husbands, it goes both ways. But husbands hear this, as you journey in life, your wife will need a little more from you. Her body changes, hormones change, s*x drive change, her moods change, etc. She will need you to put a little more effort in "all day Intimacy" not just "bedtime foreplay"
Marriage is beautiful! Love is important! Intimacy is the "fiya" that keeps them stuck on you, wanting you, desiring you, thinking of you.
Enjoy!
