    Why is intimacy scary?

    To be intimate is to be deeply known and loved. That sounds really special but it takes a lot to invite your spouse: in-to-me-see. Wow! That’s true authenticity. How is that incorporated in marriage? Well, when we look at Genesis 2:23, we see how Adam calls Eve, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. She was a part of him, both in how God formed her and in how he saw her as belonging with him. Proverbs 30:18-19 says the way of a bridegroom with his bride is a marvelous mystery, almost too amazing for words. It’s a beautiful place, safe to be open, connect, touch, playfully engage, and even act foolishly in love. Three Reasons Couples Struggle with a Deep Knowing of Each Other 1. Trust requires vulnerability. 2. Strong self-esteem helps you take risks. 3. Low self-value shuts you down. Three Reminders of Why Being Intimate Matters 1. Treasure- You value you the process 2. Creative- You playfully engage 3. Sacred- You sense God’s honor Still have questions, and we hope you do, please record and share them here and we will answer them in an upcoming episode.  https://marywhitmanortiz.com/intimacymadesimplepodcast/ At Intimacy Made Simple, we help couples overcome roadblocks in communication, so you can reconnect with your spouse and create a sex life you enjoy. We offer proven methods as a relationship coach and Christian sex educator; you can start implementing right away.

    How does God see sexual intimacy in marriage?

    Sexual intimacy is God’s GIFT to marriage, according to the original example of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It’s up to us to celebrate all of His wonderful intentions. We get to ‘unwrap’ it and enjoy it. To make the shift- from how sex is seen in the world to how God intended it- consider the word G.I.F.T. as an acronym of tips. Each letter stands for a unique trait. The letter “G” represents ‘good’. God sees sexual intimacy in marriage as a very good thing. Three Ways Sexual Intimacy Is Good 1. Mankind is the only creation made in God’s image (3 parts connect- spirit, soul, and body) 2. It’s an overflow of your connection- spirit, soul, and body 3. The goal is to be MUTUALLY satisfying and respectful Three Steps Towards Making Your Sexual Intimacy Healthier 1. Lean into valuing your spouse 2. Ask and listen to their desires and needs 3. Learn relational language (use feeling words) Still have questions, and we hope you do, please record and share them here and we will answer them in an upcoming episode.  https://marywhitmanortiz.com/intimacymadesimplepodcast/ At Intimacy Made Simple, we help couples overcome roadblocks in communication, so you can reconnect with your spouse and create a sex life you enjoy.

    What is healthy sexual intimacy anyhow?

    Intimacy is a word we throw around that has many meanings. Most of the time, we’re unclear on what it is.  That’s why we need to break it down into bite-sized steps. The Intimacy Made Simple podcast unpacks how being deeply known and loved meets the act of sex. Then, you can have true intimacy and make your marriage strong! Maybe ‘healthy’ has never been your goal when it comes to sex. You just do what you do, what you’ve always done. But I’m here to tell ya, there’s enough brokenness in the world and you can have hope for a different way. Three Ways Healthy Sexual Intimacy Is Different (and Better!) 1. There’s a whole person ‘oneness’ not just the body 2. It’s an overflow of your connection- spirit, soul and body 3. The goal is to be MUTUALLY satisfying and respectful Three Steps Towards Making Your Sexual Intimacy Healthier 1. Lean into valuing your spouse 2. Ask and listen to their desires and needs 3.
