Family Relations Week 7

We talked about sexual intimacy this week. For someone unmarried, it has been awkward, uncomfortable, enlightening, enriching and a little terrifying. But most of all I have gained an understand and respect for the sanctity of marriage and intimacy. I have always though about intimacy as a physical desire, but that is only part of it. If only we were taught and in turn taught our children that intimacy is sacred and brings people closer together not only physically, but emotionally and most importantly spiritually. Saving yourself to experience the sacred act of intimacy with one person for eternity is so essential. You can't give yourself so completely to multiple people. As Brother Williams said, it hurts your spirit. Intimacy draws people together and links them so infinitely that it completes a marriage. I have come to know and understand more fully recently that it is not something that should be taken lightly, but it is something we should hold in the highest regard. After all, its divine.
