Song of Solomon creates a beautiful metaphor of love as a banquet, and intimacy is like a private reservation for a party of two becoming one.
Making a work of art of love requires nuance and essence, finesse and patience — and brilliance–and splashes of color, and crescendo and sforzando!
It is selfish to withhold something from your partner that you know he enjoys, that only you can provide (unless you have both agreed to some fervent prayer and fasting).
The physical intimacy he craves is found only in you, and it rewards him with an emotional connection that he doesn’t even know he needs.
Use your lips to whisper wordless messages of longing and hopes and fears, and sorrows over the failures, with commitments to do better.
Perhaps the reason you don’t feel close to him is a result of the science of action and reaction instead of the chemistry of response.
If you and your spouse enact this one principle in your marriage, (and resolve your conflicts with some great intimate encounters) you will never make it to divorce court.
When both of you are speaking the same language, then it is a powerful coming together of two people to become one in love and understanding
It is the power of equally strong but opposite forces that keep you together in marriage with a magnetism of love that is as strong as death.
Teach him how to love you by loving him. Teach him how to reach your heart by reaching out to him. Teach him how to touch your heart, by touching him.
