So this week in my Family Relations class, we've been talking a lot about sexual intimacy within the bonds of marriage. Now since I'm not married, I cannot speak from experience but I've really come to understand how important communication is in this aspect of a married life.
Before marriage, you need to communicate with your fiancรจ about intimacy. Many Mormons have been raised to believe that talking about sex is taboo and should be avoided at all costs. We'll your wrong. It's not taboo. If you do talk about it, don't demoralize it. It's a sacred topic. So when talking about it with your soon-to-be husband/wife, there is no need to go into great detail of how everything works. If you have questions, ask someone else. Other things you could communicate about could be patience with one another, how you will get to really know each other in a different way, fears, boundaries, etc.
Another really important thing we learned this week is to include Christ in all parts of your life- even this part. Pray to become closer and to better know and understand each other. If you have problems, pray about them. Christ should never be excluded from any part of your life.
