Love making shouldn't have the worth of pretzels

Sexual intimacy is a super important part of marriage.  Sex in a marriage can either bring the couple closer together or further apart and the result depends largely upon what each individual is trying to get out of the experience.  Healthy sexual intimacy is based on loving intent and communication.  It is obvious to me that with two different individuals, with different comforts and likes, would need to communicate openly about what feels nice and what doesn't.  Sexual intimacy is something that should be treated like large wrapped gift from a rich family member.  It should be unwrapped carefully by both individuals in the couple, by rushing and aggressively unwrapping the present the couple(or an individual in the couple) might damage the very thing that should have meant so much more to them.  This metaphor works both with virgins and people who have had other sexual experiences because for every newly wedded couple the sexual intimacy is going to be a new experience between them.  There is no cookie cutter method that fits all because everyone is different, that is why open communication and loving care to your partner are so important.

To finish this blog off I want to end by mentioning that when I was growing up I learned from wise mentors around me that people in our society give kisses and other intimate gestures like pretzels.  With the news, media, and songs that are so prevalent in our society I have grown to think that a lot of people treat sex like it is a pretzel now, something that is delicious but ultimately worth nothing.  Our society has moved further away from love making towards sex.  Lets bring the love back and make the relationships that matter to us more precious.
