1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,000 S1: A love language minute. Here's Doctor Gary Chapman on intimacy 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:05,760 S1: and marriage. 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,200 S2: There is something about the way we're made that cries 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,200 S2: out for intimacy. And I believe that God designed marriage 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,239 S2: to be the most intimate of all human relationships. We're 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,200 S2: going to share life intellectually and emotionally and socially and 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,240 S2: physically and spiritually. And we are going to share life 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,960 S2: to such a degree that it can be said of us. 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,760 S2: We become one. Now, that doesn't mean we lose our individuality, 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,440 S2: but it does mean that we have a deep sense 11 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,400 S2: of intimacy. Couples who learn how to do that find 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,640 S2: marriage extremely satisfying. But the couples who do not learn 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,080 S2: to do that, and instead they lead independent lives and 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,720 S2: there's little sharing of life, often find marriage to be 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,120 S2: extremely empty. 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,960 S1: For more answers, go to Start marriage Right.com.
