Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m really going to miss our Sunday nights together. I’ve really enjoyed talking with y’all about how to strengthen our marriages and families. I know my own marriage and family relationships need the attention, and I have learned so much from you!

Here is what we covered last night:

Week 4:  Intimacy, Time, Social Media, Wrap Up

Intimacy – 

• • • Emotional:  Emotional intimacy is generally defined as a closeness in which both partners feel secure and loved and in which trust and communication abound
    • Physical:  Physical intimacy is the connection that occurs as a result of sex. It’s only possible when other types of intimacy are achieved first.

Time 

• • • How does my time tell my spouse I feel about her?
    • What are some practical ways I can change how I spend my time to give my spouse what they need?
    • Find ways to spend time together instead of apart – working out, leisure activities, date nights, etc

Social Media:

Pros and cons

Why do we feel it is necessary?

Dangers

• • • Reconnect with old love interests
    • Predators – people who have the intent to break up your marriage or home – they do exist
    • It takes time – away from spouse and kids, job, etc

How can I manage it?

• • • Time limits per day
    • Only certain periods of the day
    • Never right when waking up or before bed
    • Give your spouse your passwords to all accounts so there are no secrets

My door is always open to you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any prayer requests or needs you may have.
