26 Resources for Better Physical Intimacy

Physical intimacy. Was there ever a topic that created more curiosity, frustration, pleasure, and joy? These days there is so much information available on how to have better physical intimacy, though some of it causes pain and provides opportunities for sinful temptations.

The fact of the matter is, we will all be curious or have questions at some point in our lives, right? Our bodies change. We get older. We gain weight. We lose weight. We have a baby (or multiple babies at once!). We have busy seasons. And we have sad seasons. Over the course of our lives, physical intimacy can change quite drastically.

Physical intimacy is one of the most basic, God-given, beautiful, simple (and yet complex) aspects of our married lives. It is an area (like most!) where we desperately need wisdom, guidance, and patience. We also need creativity, flexibility (no pun intended ), and a desire to bless. When one or more of these elements begin lagging, we often notice challenges within the realm of physical intimacy. Right?

Think about it…when was the last time that things went well for you when you were impatient, selfish, etc.? Probably not a memory that you enjoy. But consider a time when you were motivated out of a desire to bless your hubby, were creative, and patient. Probably a memory you do enjoy.

Sometimes we just get stuck in a rut of not knowing what needs “help,” though. In those times, what a blessing to have some resources handy for whatever season in which you find yourself! Below are 26 different resources (DIY, posts, series, books) intended to help you have better physical intimacy – something God wants for you, as well!
