Emotional intimacy and sex are not the same. God forbid you get in a car accident, or you become very ill, and sex is taken off the table. Your marriage can still be alive and strong BECAUSE of the emotional intimacy. Think of those couples caring for their spouse during years of illness or injury. The physical act is gone, but the marriage is still deeply bonded. That’s why you cannot compare emotional intimacy to sex. And it’s not just women who need it. Men, you need it too. That’s why you got married. Not only for sex, but for that emotional connection. #postpartumjourney #postpartumhealth #christianmarriage #catholicmarriage #marriagelife
