Today nobody will stop with faith; they all go furtherI wonder where they are going? I have been reflecting on all the straining and striving that we are prone to do. BTW I think all of us are guilty at some level. Contentment is a strange word. Satisfaction with the way things are seems to be an unacceptable state. How can I possibly be satisfied when so much is wrong around me? Much is to be made of acceptance as well. However acceptance is a mood away from complacency and that certainly does not seem to be acceptable either.

Levels of Intimacy In Marriage
Well I have not posted in quite a while. But that does not mean that I
have given up on blogging. Maybe I can get back into the swing of
things. A lot has happened in my life, but that will have to wait for
another post perhaps. I wanted to talk about levels of intimacy in
marriage.
In my counseling experience I have learned that there can be different types of intimacy (Emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual; See Here). With each of these there can be levels or depth of intimacy as well. I have attempted to sort out how to communicate this to the couples that I work with in building a loving and caring marriage. I have come up with a very complex way of looking at it that would take a book to explain. Most people lose interest if it cannot be explained simply. The other day I was attempting to explain levels of intimacy and I came up with three words that help clarify this in a very simple way. These words are Thoughtfulness, Sensitivity, and Understanding. Each of these represents different actions. Each of them also can represent greater intimacy.
