Because we are actors we can pretend and fake it, but I'd rather the intimate investment was authentic.

You know I was thinking the other week about intimacy within relationships. Wondering if people realized that sometimes they use that word loosely.
Intimacy does not just involve having sex with someone, its about being transparent and being vulnerable. I always wondered if some of the marriages today were authentic with their transparency, would their intimacy be stronger and would they have endured during the hard times. How can you vow to someone to give your all to them with out being open?
It is important for your spouse to know the ins and outs of you. To know what ticks you off, what makes you laugh and smile, what things makes you feel good and what doesn't. And the same goes for us with our spouse. To know the inside of a person is better than knowing the outward. For the inward makes the outward.
It amazes me how many make intimacy into a sexual thing. Which honestly it plays a role but its deeper than that. When the sex fades, when the looks fade, what is there? To have an emotional intimacy, and deep spiritual intimacy is what it is. And in order to get that you must be transparent.
With any relationship that is worth the hurt, the pain, the tears, the joys, and the exciting times is worth being authentic and transparent to experience TRUE INTIMACY
