Intimacy means different things to different people.
While most men tend to equate sex with intimacy, women tend to think in terms of emotional closeness. Intimacy, like all valuable assets in our lives, requires planning and work. It produces wonderful results that make us realize all the planning and work is very worthwhile. Time together is an essential ingredient in developing intimacy. Unfortunately, couples in ministry risk giving so much of themselves in ministry that they endanger their own relationships.
