Often we head into marriage expecting it to be a sexual utopia or an ever-flowing fountain of intimacy, and then when the honeymoon is over, we realized that we are sinful people married to sinful people in a sinful world. Sometimes our expectations of marriage have to change. Sometimes we need an overhaul of our behavior and attitudes. Other times, just small tweaks can make enormous differences when it comes to intimacy, connectedness, and sexual pleasure.
Starting today, we are giving away a bundle of six books geared toward couples who want to renew marital intimacy. We are grateful for New Growth Press for donating so many books and for Sheila Gregoire for adding her book to the bundle.

Honesty
I believe sexual intimacy is based on a couple’s spiritual intimacy with one another. As each spouse pursues Christ passionately and purely, sexual intimacy has a strong foundation to be based on!
Interesting. You assume “women” are some homogenous group with a single mind, as if the the same women who make porn are also complaining about porn. Why do you think this? Are the wives you meet who complain about porn also secretly making porn on the side? Are the porn stars you talk to also secretly involved some sort of anti-porn campaign? I’m not following you.
My husband becoming born again really lit a fire over here lol. We also have found making a huge effort (we have 7 kids) to attend a weekend to remember event once a year keeps us on track for great intimacy in our marriage. We get renewed at the weekends to remember and are reminded that we are different and that is how its suppose to be. Making time for your marriage is extremely important. My husband always kisses me before he heads to work and we love to hug in the kitchen when he gets home.
Because of physical issues, intiimacy has become nonexistent in our marriage. I desperately want to protect us from any addictions that would drive us further apart. I know we desperately need the help of the Holy Spirit. Open, honest communication is the only way we can avoid further separation.
Intimacy with my wife has been helped by rigorous honesty. It is not always an easy thing, but it is the right thing to do.
Without a doubt, communication.
I just recently found out about my husband’s addiction, and need help getting through this…
Great idea. This bundle looks like a great resource. Thankful for all you do at Covenant Eyes.
Well, I can safely say I am not married, but I see these books as a great resource for many of the parents I work with on a day to day basis within my ministry!
Praying together as a couple is the best tool to reinforce intimacy between husband and wife, we regularly share that with younger couples.
