7 Diverse Ways We Experience Intimacy

Choosing

One thing we often overlook when we think about intimacy is the power of our choices.

Commitment is nothing more than a consistent choice. When all else fails, my ability to choose is one thing that can never be taken from me. It is one of the few things I really have control over. And, as such, it helps drive my ship more than anything else. Being aware of our choices and how they affect the ones we love, help us to know which direction to steer and which buttons to push (or not push).

Almost subconsciously, we make choices that reinforce our flesh. We are building fortifications to keep people away, choice by choice. Intimacy happens when we make choices of unity, choices (both big and small) that fight for We rather than Me.
