7 Diverse Ways We Experience Intimacy

Being

There is a big difference between apathetic numbness and peaceful acceptance.

They look the same. They smell the same. But the difference is all the difference in the world.

When my wife and I sit on the couch, just inches from each other, we are being together. This is maybe the most profound manifestation of intimacy. Just being… together.

As we walk through life, we experience intimacy through everyday existence. The difference between apathy and awareness is thankfulness. A true perception of the value of being. The Bible calls this peace that passes understanding. And learning how to notice it can be a beautiful celebration of intimacy.
