The Intimacy You Crave: Straight Talk about Sex and Pancakes by Lucille WilliamsMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
It took me a while to pick this one up to read. I requested it due to the topic, but then delayed reading it because for this conservative reader, I needed a bit more courage. Now I wished I've read it sooner and would highly recommend it for married women.
It's kind of like the game of chess. The queen, which stands right next to the king, is the most powerful piece on the board. You are the queen. You are the best and most important "piece" in his life. You have the ability to build him up or tear him down.
This author was bold by tackling a topic most people avoid to talk about, but should be talked more about with married couples. As an unmarried women, I knew sex before marriage was wrong, however, we are never told we may enjoy sex when married. And yes, sometimes we don't want to hear it, but sex is important for a thriving marriage - it was intended by God for marriage and to be enjoyed.
Even when we don't "feel" crazy in love, we "act" in love, which allows us to work through our struggles more quickly.
And it is not just about sex, but also other factors which affects your marriage which will have an influence on your intimacy.
There was a few things the author said I'm not 100% convinced I agree with, but most of it was again eye opening.
A woman will feel most fulfilled when she loves fully and completely. Your marriage is your journey, your adventure, your romantic tale. You craft your love story.
