Intimacy
The purpose of intimate relationships is to mid wife one another to perfection. The point of love is to reveal to us the light inside. If we are unconscious about these issues, if we fail to live up to the sacred challenges of loving another, then we will experiences disastrous relationships, and the disasters will motivate us to grow. If we are conscious and careful, then we will experience the processes of growth through the joys of love instead of pain. Over every relationship, shoving us into the next stage of our development is an angel; it is we who choose to be cracked upon by light or cracked upon by despair. We have a choice whether or not to love, but we have no choice whether or not to grow. Our intimate love is our partner on a holy adventure. With this person, we are given the chance to move into the center of things. In the spiritual space of an intimate connection, we have the power to heal and be healed. In order to be healed, we must reveal our wounds. So the person with whom we share the deepest love is often the one with whom we share the deepest pain. For when we hold a person deeply in our hearts, we hold their darkness as well as their light. We must accept both faces. The ability to accept our partner’s darkness and our willingness to reveal our own make us vulnerable to wounding. These however, are sacred wounds; they are prelude to sacred healing. Intimacy does not mean both people are perfect. Honoring our connection to another person is a way of honoring God. A relationship is more of an assignment than a choice. A powerful connection between two people is a potent psychic factor that exists regardless of either person’s opinion about the relationship. We can walk away from the assignment, but we cannot walk away from the lessons it presents. Sweeping challenges under the rug doesn’t get rid of problems, failure to complete in one are will always be reflected elsewhere. We stay with a relationship until a lesson is learned or we simply learn it another way. If honest communication between two people isn’t extended to the point of resolution and peace, the energy will attach itself to the psyche of both people and appear again as wounding in another relationship. Intimacy is where we are willing to move so deeply into love that the demons do not deter us from our conviction to make it through to the light. How tragic it is, that we often turn our face from each other when the work of healing has just begun. When done poorly, intimacy can lead to great pain. When done well, it strikes the devil in the center of the forehead.

Stay in it for the long haul... Good or bad. If you had any doubts after, you shouldn't have married. So, now that you're both in it up to your necks, well... read the above again.
The only bad marriage is the one without love. Also, should you have children, keep in mind that the greatest gift you can possibly give your child is your love for one another.

Realize it is not always going to be easy and pleasant. Arguments and fights WILL happen. Just love and support each other through everything and the bad spots will not be as bad. Also, advice my mom gave me: "Never go to bed mad at each other."

never go to bed mad at each other - i know you may want to after many fights, but its the worst thing you can do. suck up your pride, and even if you dont feel particular apologetic, at least tell him that you are sorry for fighting, and that you understand where he is coming from. if you go to be angry, the resenment will only build - people may say it will give you time to cool down, but that never happens. go to bed holding each other - it'll make your marriage last a lifetime.
