To Know and Be Known
In the first video of “Intimacy in Marriage,” Greg and Erin Smalley discuss how much we desire to be deeply known by the one we married.
The problem is that so much of our time is monopolized by budgets, to-do lists, and crazy schedules. As a result, wives and husbands rob each other of intentional time to know one another deeply. Over time, that leads to feeling distant and disconnected.
What can you do about it?
Greg and Erin share how to take a first step in this session.
