I am currently reading Joyce Meyer's book "Making Marriage Work". I haven't been doing a lot of reading lately but I picked the book up this weekend and read a chapter and a bit. The chapter was entitled "Let's Communicate", but the chapter was basically all about s*x. I was quite intrigued to learn that being intimate with your partner is a form of communication. You are communicating your love to one another. She also says that under no circumstances should one turn down their partner unless for prayer.
What's a little ironic is that I have always felt that I couldn't live without that part of our relationship because to me it was the only way I feel loved. So, in fact, I'm not completely wrong about that. There should be other ways too, but intimacy says a strong message to your partner. And, unfortunately, letting it fade off as you get older can send out a bad or wrong message.
It's a very important part of marriage. I was happy to have that affirmation in this book and even read it to my husband.

Communication is very important. Intimacy is obviously on form of communication, but without a loving relationship it can be a very empty, unsatisfactory act.

Sounds like an interesting book. It is easy to let things fade after being together for a while. It takes work and effort to make a relationship work and I do believe that intimacy is a big part of it.
