Bouquet Marriage Ministry often presents on the topic of intimacy (i.e. closeness) – especially on the interconnectedness of the primary ways in which intimacy is expressed to nourish a relationship. We use a web at a model to illustrate the strength received by the relationship by nurturing all these areas of intimacy. Webs are renowned for being [pound for pound] stronger than steel. They have numerous connecting points, and overlapping features to stabilize the web. By working these intimacy features into our relationship we strengthen our marriage with overlapping ways to draw closer together.
