Intimacy is necessary to create and sustain lasting relationships. It keeps you connected, allows you to be present and enables you to meet the other person’s needs. Relationships built on solid foundations and constantly renewed by intimacy are beautiful things. A lack of intimacy kills relationships. Picture your relationship like a lake. Intimacy is the stream that flows into the lake and constantly renews and feeds it. As soon as the stream dries up, the lake soon becomes a dry plain of cracked, sun-baked mud. Don’t let your relationships dry up and choose to be intimate intentionally.
