232. Intentional Intimacy: Why the Small Things Matter Most


Listen Later

This week’s installment of the Intentional Intimacy series is all about the quiet power of consistency. Inspired by The Compound Effect, Francie shares how tiny daily choices, like eye contact and kissing in the kitchen, can produce exponential fruit in your marriage over time. It’s not the grand gestures or weekend getaways that shape your intimacy, it’s the 10-second moments, the intentional habits, the repeated “yes” to presence and tenderness. In this episode, Francie explores:
  • The spiritual power of small, daily investments in love
  • Why prolonged eye contact and physical affection matter
  • How consistent connection rewires your marriage for intimacy
  • Real-life examples and encouragement to reframe your rhythms
Whether you’re newlywed or 40 years in, this episode offers a grace-filled, hope-building reminder: you have agency to grow your intimacy one small act at a time.
