“Everyone knows what falling in love is like but being in love is what people have lost.” Mark Polish

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:30-32 (KJV)

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:30-32 (NIV)

Real intimacy starts before the bedroom

Read chapter 3 this week. Chapter 3--first half-by tomorrow (Tuesday!) and the rest by Thursday. Be ready to discuss in class the rest of the week. Discussion points! Chapter 3: The Sex Trap

When is a rose a rose?

Outside experiment

Timeline Lessons learned: Time is key: Relationships take time. There is no instant cure. Life need not be rushed: You are “not missing the boat” or “being left behind.” There has never been a YOU before. Decisions last: The consequences of decisions are forever. That’s a long time. Remember the scale: Try to visualize where you are relative to the real size of life-even here on this planet.

“Intimacy, as I am using it, is sharing my reality with you.” Keith Miller

Real intimacy is built on something substantial

True love, waits, is long-suffering and never fails

What insights did you gain from the research reported? What are some PRACTICAL suggestions for people who want to wait? male female

Beware what supplants real intimacy

Intimacy depends on relational context

Real intimacy cannot happen when the relationship does not exist

Intimacy must consider all aspects of a person-ality
