If we men could become more proficient at emotional and spiritual intimacy, I think we’d find the physical intimacy would take care of itself in a lot of cases.

The first I heard of this was at my church’s Adult Ed committee meeting. I figured that was my opening to look at my watch, say I had to get home and act like a Baptist, and adjourn the meeting.

Best line:

“If you’ve said, ‘I do,’ do it,” he said. As for single people, “I don’t know, try eating chocolate cake,” he said.

Runner up:

Mr. Young advised the couples to “keep on doing what you’ve been doing this week. We should try to double up the amount of intimacy we have in marriage. And when I say intimacy, I don’t mean holding hands in the park or a back rub.”

Observation:

This story seems to emphasize how popular this program is with husbands. One wonders if sharing household chores, which has been proven to improve the sex life of married couples, and other ways of strengthening the partnership and relationship of couples was addressed. More sex is a great idea in theory, but I doubt it is the long-term panacea for couples that Ed seems to think it is.
