I agree! Very much so, actually! Here are very good examples of why emotional and mental connection between spouses is sometimes much more important than sexual connection! I have heard of both sides. Times when there was great sexual connection, but no intimacy and times when there was plenty of intimacy but no physical connection! There are both important for a marriage to work and this is why I think it's paramount that man and women make a real effort to truly understand each other and each other's particular needs, because they are so varied and complex! I think understanding your mate's personality for instance, what makes the tick and what bothers them is one way to reach intimacy between people! My opinion anyway! I don't make it a doctrine because the Lord can bridge any gap, but I do try to study the different personality types a lot so that I can understand better not just my husband but my friends and my children! Just an idea!
