Biblically, intimacy is much deeper than physical closeness. In scripture, intimacy means to be fully known. In Genesis, when it says a husband ‘knew’ his wife, it meant emotional, spiritual, and physical connection. It means being seen, understood, and safe with each other. Intimacy is not just touch… it’s being fully known and fully loved. Getting involved in her world What creates intimacy for me in this season is when my husband wants to help find solutions — instead of feeling like he’s part of the problem. Support = intimacy. As husbands, there are 2 choices. Step back and say ‘she’s crazy’ or ‘she’s just hormonal’… step forward and create a safe place. REMEMBER HUSBANDS- A husband who gets involved becomes part of the solution, not part of the stress. Menopause doesn’t have to divide a marriage — it can actually strengthen it. Real intimacy is partnership. Let's KEEP doing this journey together.
