Collection: LDS Intimacy Books
God designed intimacy in marriage as a powerful means to unite a couple. However many of us struggle to create the deep and meaninful sexual experiences that God intended.
Purity Enhances Intimacy
Sister Wendy Watson Nelson (a professor of marriage and family therapy for more than 25 years, wife to President Nelson, and an all-around spiritual powerhouse) shared the following in a worldwide devotional for young adults, "...The more pure your thoughts and feelings, your words and actions, the greater your capacity to give and receive true love...working every day to be just a little more pure, you’ll be increasing your ability to experience true marital intimacy...As an important part of the expression of their love, the Lord wants a husband and wife to partake of the wonders and joys of marital intimacy.""
She continues"...Marital intimacy is ordained by God. It is commanded and commended by Him because it draws a husband and wife closer together and closer to the Lord! True marital intimacy involves the whole soul of each spouse. It is the uniting of the body and the spirit of the husband with the body and the spirit of his wife. That soulful union represents just how united a husband and wife are in all areas of their lives. They work together as partners. They pray, play, struggle, grow, and enjoy life together. They sacrifice for each other and encourage each other to be all they were born to be. My dear brothers and sisters, marital intimacy is sacred. In fact, a husband and wife can be drawn closer to God when joined in true marital intimacy."
