Intentional Intimacy

Day 3 - Oct 14, 2026

How Do You View Your Marriage?

When you think about your marriage, how do you see it? Many people view marriage simply as a contract, focusing on protecting their rights and limiting their responsibilities. While there is a contractual aspect to marriage, it is so much more than that.

The Bible describes marriage as a covenant—a deep, spiritual commitment. The term "covenant" means "to cut," and biblically, every covenant requires a sacrifice. This sacrifice isn’t just about giving something up; it’s about exchanging what you give for something far greater.

In a covenant, we surrender our rights and embrace our responsibilities.

  • This is what makes a covenant powerful and enduring—lasting until death.
  • That’s why we promise to stay married for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.

Biblically, every covenant has a seal, and God designed sex to be the seal of the marriage covenant. When a marriage is consummated, it marks the beginning of a profound bond. Throughout your married life, sexual intimacy becomes the fullest expression of this sacrificial covenant.

 



Take Action

Research shows that couples who prioritize their sex life and intentionally focus on what pleases each other experience greater satisfaction. A study from the National Marriage Project found that couples who communicate openly about their sexual needs report higher levels of intimacy and connection.

  • The best sexual experiences occur when spouses prioritize each other’s interests.
  • This sacrificial attitude leads to incredible intimacy and fulfillment.

So, why not do something special for your spouse today? Remember, "special" means significant, not necessarily expensive.

Take a moment to show your love and commitment. It can be a small gesture that strengthens your bond and reinforces your covenant.

There is Always Hope!

God is ready to heal you when you admit your issues and begin the process of addressing them, rather than ignoring or burying them.

The journey to emotional healing can take years if you go it alone. However, it won’t take as long if you have someone to guide you through the process. One excellent resource is Jimmy Evans’ 21 Day Inner Healing Journey. This step-by-step guide helps you move from toxic thoughts, emotional wounds, and past bondages toward total inner healing.

A Promise of Healing

Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." God can heal you and free you from what’s hurting you, harming your relationships, and damaging your marriage. But first, you must be willing to admit those hurts to God and open your heart to Him. 



Take Action

Let the Healing Begin

Invite God to start the healing process in your life. He will help you:

  • Release negative emotions
  • Take captive your negative thoughts
  • Find freedom from your pain

When you allow Him to work in your life, your marriage and overall well-being will transform in ways you never imagined!

Embrace the journey to emotional health, and remember: with God, there is always hope!
