Intimacy in marriage includes knowing and accepting each other. My husband needs to accept that my sexuality is different from his, and he needs to accept that what I will give him in the form of my expression is the best way I can translate my feelings into his being desired. At the same time, I need to accept that my husband needs to feel sexually desirable to me. I learned that I could translate what I'm feeling emotionally into a sexual expression that will speak to my husband.
