THE BOND OF COMMITTED INTIMACY

Marriage is an ongoing journey of intimacy. To be married to another does not mean giving up our separateness and our uniqueness as individuals. It does mean building "we-ness" so that living close to each other is a joy. We look for ways to please each other, to be sensitive to each other, to share our own successes and mistakes -- our joys and our hurts. Marriage is a sacred bond of committed intimacy. The satisfaction of many important needs rests in this togetherness.
