Every married couple wants to have a healthy marriage.  This means fostering healthy intimacy throughout the marriage.  Intimacy is the emotional connection between two people.  It’s where you both know each other thoroughly.  You feel completely safe with one another and can talk about anything.  When two people have this kind of intimacy, they will never feel lonely.  Most couples experience this depth of intimacy early in their relationship; however, as the years go by, that intimacy can fade.
