So love me like you do, love me like you do...

 

“Chastity is not a kind of perfection. You may have arrived in this world innocent, but chastity is something more than innocence. Chastity is not something you are born with and then break and lose, it is something that is made. Chastity is a habit built over time by way of good choices. It is a power that gathers strength from consistently practicing care and discipline...Caring for your own hunger will teach you how to care for the body of the person you’ll one day love...Practicing chastity means learning how to offer this hunger back to God as a prayer.”

Adam S.Miller “Letters to a Young Mormon”

Sexual relationships are one of the most intimate blessings that we receive as a gift from Heavenly Father. A gift that by its nature is something intimate, delicate and very memorable.

On your wedding night, you become closer to each other, filling your relationship with even more meaning, trust, empathy for each other, love and endless sincerity.

There is a cherished line in human closeness,

An amorousness and passion can't get across it,-

Let the lips interflow in an uncanny quietness,

And let the heart break to pieces from love.

Anna Akhmatova

Sex is not just something intimate, it is something that you trust only to him, it is something that you are ready to share only with him and despite this, it is something that you are also ready to let the Holy Spirit into, another aspect of life in which you can rely with all your soul on him.

As always, I can't avoid the theory, but it has always been and will be important - because in these smallest, seemingly imperceptible details lies the whole deep meaning of relationships.

Four steps on the way to your cherished family happiness - excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution. Starting with physical and psychological stimulation, we move on to the next stage (plateau), which is a continuation of the arousal process. Then, moving on to the third stage, we talk about orgasm as a discharge of accumulated tension. A lot of what happens during a sexual experience happens in the brain. During orgasm, the brain releases huge amounts of dopamine (a feel-good neurotransmitter) and serotonin (a chemical that promotes mood, sleep and relaxation). Oxytocin (the hormone of love), more common in women, is also released during sex. Well, the last stage is the recovery stage designed to return to the usual state.

Understanding your sexual life and your sexual characteristics and the characteristics of your partner will help you build the strongest, trusting, deep connection.

Interesting for me was the fact that it is during male sexual activity that they experience intimacy, security and warmth from their partner, while it works exactly the opposite for a woman. She can experience real feelings during sexual intercourse only if there is intimacy, security and safety with her partner.

About 21% of men and 15% of women, despite their serious attitude to marriage, had an affair outside of their married couple, which once again suggests that marriage is a daily job and the sexual aspect is one of the main ones in this matter, like many others.

And this just proves once again the fact that the remaining 70% are not trying to look for a solution on the side, but are trying to become this closeness, protection and support for each other.

Stop looking for a way out on the side, but just listen to yourself, find it in prayer, let the Holy Spirit into this intimate aspect of life, give him the opportunity to guide you, He will never betray you. Give your marriage the opportunity to become the most reliable shoulder for you and your spouse, give it hope for happy years together.

“What matters most for pleasure is not the simple impact on our senses but what it means in relationship to other persons who matter to us...A chair may feel comfortable, but if it is our 

mother’s favorite chair from her sitting room, it will give us even more pleasure. To use 

theological language, “we enjoy things most when we experience them as a sacrament – as 

carriers of the presence of another.”

Timothy Keller “Making sense of God”
