Intimacy Challenge
Intimacy Challenge!!!
September 1st and cheers to 36 years!! And yes, we are still working on our marriage. Some things get easier and then other challenges appear. It’s a LIFELONG adventure and challenge.
We decided that for the month of September we would challenge ourselves to do something intimate every day of the month (even if we are not exactly happy with each other one day 🤣) Please tell me that you know that intimacy does not necessarily mean sex! 😜 It is possible to have sex and zero intimacy 😕 We don’t want that!! Intimacy is about fostering closeness and connection. It can be emotional, mental, spiritual and yes physical. One of these could incorporate all, but not necessarily. Have a conversation that lets the other know you care about their feelings. Talk about a cause that truly matters to you. Play a game. Take a hike. Get up early for the sunrise or go outside and watch the sunset. Lots of things create intimacy.
Throughout the month I will try and post on social media (so follow us if you don’t already) different ideas, but you can do this yourself! Get creative.
Some of you may think it’s impossible because one spouse may travel throughout the week for work. Ummmmmmm, you have a phone. At least try and talk or text if necessary each day and make the most of even 5 minutes.
If you and your spouse are separated, maybe try this challenge. You never know!!!
It’s all about being intentional over the next 30 days to prioritize each other. I’ll bet you can find at least 5 minutes.
Turn off the tv. Put your phone down or use it if you aren’t together. Wake up earlier. Put the kids to bed earlier.
Who is willing to take the challenge? We would love to hear from you!! And no, you don’t have to share other than just let us know you’re striving for something each day and making some progress.
