Good Song!
"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll ca...tch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all"

intimacy vs. sex... Thank you Madea
I enjoy intimacy more then Sex. Guys that I'm talking to think me as weird because oh you're such a tease blah blah blah you keep touchin me like this and its being a tease; or you don't like me cuz you never start things... I don't want sex from you! I just want you! i want to feel close, feel special, I want to feel your intimacy not sex. Realized this after watching Diary of a Mad Black Woman. :)
One of my favorite lines from the movie Diary of a mad black woman by Tyler Perry is the when Helen is writes in her diary "When did I get here? Somewhere out of all the pain came a man who was strong...beautiful...sensitive...and Christian...He chose to give me something better...he gave me intimacy” -emphasis on the intimacy. And this of course is about her love interest Orlando/Shemar Moore (Thank you God for people like him remind us of the beautiful works of your hand. Amen)
"We both wanted to make love, but he gave me something greater: Intimacy"
“What is Intimacy?
Today, the word intimacy has taken on sexual connotations. But it is much more than that. It includes all the different dimensions of our lives -- yes, the physical, but also the social, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects as well. Intimacy really means total life sharing. And haven't we all had the desire at one time or another for closeness, for oneness, for sharing our life with someone totally? Marshall Hodge wrote a book called Your Fear of Love. In it he says, "We long for moments of expressions of love, closeness and tenderness, but frequently, at the critical point, we often draw back. We are afraid of closeness. We are afraid of love." Later in the same book Hodge states, "The closer you come to somebody, the greater potential there is for pain." It is the fear of pain that often drives us away from finding true intimacy.”
So we can draw that intimacy is beyond sex, it is total life sharing. How then as young Christians can we have a healthy sex-free intimate relationship? Is that even possible? Especially since today sex seems to be “trendy” in the world we live in.
