Physical Intimacy in Marriage a Sacred Act

This week was, well, to say the least, interesting. Lol. We learned about Physical Intimacy within marriage, and while it was informative, it was also a little awkward. Let's just say I feel more prepared I guess. A few things that I found interesting in regards to this topic were the fact that the way men and women think plays a role in physical intimacy. Women are accustomed to thinking about many different things at once, while men focus on one thing at a time. While the wife may be worried that the kids are still awake, or what she needs to plan for her young women, her husband is only focused on being with his wife, and many times probably doesn't quite understand her concern. I found that kind of funny. :) One other thing that really hit me about this topic is that, just like everything else in marriage, you should put the needs of your partner first. My professor really emphasized how important it is to take things slow if a partner isn't comfortable with something, and to be gentle and loving in doing so. I really appreciated that, because in today's world, sex is symbolized as something that comes on as passionate and fast when people are in love. But I agree with my professor, that sex is sacred, and should be treated as such. A special act of love between husband and wife, lawfully and legally married.
