Intimacy is extreme closeness; this highest level of understanding, acceptance and love is only experienced between couples who develop intimacy. Pure romance leads to sexual intimacy; having sex is the ultimate experience of closeness possible between a man and woman. Authentic intimacy heals, restores, and strengthens every marriage.
