Last weekend our church held its annual marriage seminar, and this year’s focus was on marital intimacy.  It was an encouraging time of celebration, reminder, and (sometimes) rebuke, all centered around God’s truth.

What does God intend in this aspect of married love?

So it’s for this reason, I decided to write this post..."
