Discoveries

The topics of Sexual Intimacy and Purity have always been ones that, until now, I never really knew could be talked about in helpful and informative ways.  I am really grateful that I am able to learn from several different church leaders and reliable sources about sexual intimacy.  It is so wonderful that as God's children, we are able to connect with another person on so many levels.  Heavenly Father is happy when we connect with our spouse emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.  I am excited for that relationship and for that level of trust within the bonds of a sealed and eternal marriage.  I know it will be a glorious relationship if treated with the reverence and the care that it deserves.  I have learned a lot about emotional fidelity and how we may be relying on others rather than only cleaving to our spouse, which can cause inappropriate relationships and bonds that should really only be reserved for our spouse.  It is really important to me that I be careful when I am married to make sure that I keep the relationship that was intended for my spouse and I between us.  The materials I studied this past week brought new light and meaning to sexual intimacy, and helped me realize that even this topic is okay to discuss with my spouse, just as any other aspect of the relationship.  It will be so helpful for me and my spouse to be able to share openly with one another on this subject when that time comes.
