Good morning. Why do we always associate intimacy with sex when it’s actually defined first as, “the state of being intimate : familiarity: close friendship.”. Intimacy is walking around in PetSmart with my best friend not to buy anything in particular, but to spend time together. Intimacy is my 4 month of nephew in my arms and we’re cheek to cheek with my pinky wrapped tight in his tiny hand. Intimacy is putting my 9yr Godson in a headlock and kissing his forehead because at that age, hugging isn’t cool anymore. Intimacy is feeling my dog lie on my back still at 5a.m. in spite of her 11lb weight. Intimacy is getting tickled when a friend comes to town even though it’s only been a month since we last seen each other. Intimacy is sitting in a car for 2 hours with a fellow techie talking “geek” and times just flies by. Intimacy is waking up at 3am saying nothing but hearing God say everything to you.
Intimacy is interchangeable with “relationship.” If intimacy is missing, nothing else will ever have a chance of surviving in that same place.
Got relationship?
Peace – Kimberly
