Revisiting Intimacy Anorexia Or Is It Cruelty? #684


Listen Later

On today's episode we we revisit an old episode of SMR.

Our conversation explores the concept of intimacy anorexia and the pain of love cycle of abuse and neglect in marriage.

We discuss the experience of being in a sexless marriage and the frustration of not having one's physical needs met. We also examine the dynamics of deliberate withholding of love and intimacy and the cruelty that can arise from it.

Takeaways

Intimacy in a relationship involves both knowing and being known.

Deliberate withholding of love and intimacy can be a form of cruelty.
It is important to face what is present in a relationship rather than focusing on what is missing.
Self-intimacy is also crucial in maintaining a healthy relationship.
Marriage requires navigating struggles and challenges with honesty and integrity.

On the Xtended Version ...

In the XTD content, we continue the best of SMR by revisiting Kate Bowler's helpful words regarding what to say and what not to say when faced with someone else’s grief or loss or struggle.

Words we all need to learn and use. Or stop using.

Enjoy the show!
