5 Types of Intimacy in a Healthy Marriage (Hint: 4 of Them Have Nothing to Do With Sex)

"Once intimacy begins to wane, it can become hard to get back on track. One of the keys to reconnecting is understanding that intimacy is a multifaceted thing. In fact, there are five different types of intimacy, and only when we keep all five functioning can we have marriages that feel profoundly connected."

Satan Invented the “Perfect Christian.” Here’s What a Real One Looks Like…

I’m not perfect.

But I love Jesus.

I make mistakes. Big ones.

But I love Jesus.

I fall down. I get back up. I love Jesus.

I have a colored past.

But I love Jesus.

I’ve done horrible things. Unmentionable things, before.

But I love Jesus.

I don’t always feel like I deserve to be forgiven, but I am.

I love Jesus.

People who don’t know me will draw their own conclusions. That’s fine.

I still love Jesus.

You can’t break me.

I love Jesus.

I’ll come out stronger. His word says so.

I. Love. Jesus.

I’m the least of these.

Jesus still loves me.

I cry. I get hurt. I get anxious, worried, and fearful sometimes.

But I love Jesus.

My faith wavers. I doubt.

Then I love Jesus.

I don’t always have a smile.

I have regret.

I make poor decisions.

I try, but I don’t always succeed. Go figure.

But I love Jesus.

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Such a cliché. Yet so true.

Some people say, “God must think I can handle a lot!”

I’ve thought that, but it isn’t true. I can’t handle a thing!

But I love Jesus.

And He can.

can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. And oh boy, do I need it.

I am weak.

He is strong.

I fall.

He picks me up.

You can’t break me. Or maybe you can.

It’s ok though. I love Jesus.

He fixes my broken places.

I’m not perfect. Never have been. Never claim to be.

But I love Jesus.

And hopefully that shows.
