Worth Repeating: 3 Ways to Do Intimacy Her Way
[00:00:00] < Intro >
Lindsay: Welcome to The Awesome Marriage podcast. A place for honest conversations and practical advice on how to build an awesome marriage. I am your podcast producer and co-host, Lindsay Few. On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberling.
Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 50 years. His passion is to help you strengthen your most intimate relationship. A couple of times a year, on The Awesome Marriage podcast, we re-air an older episode that we think is worth repeating. You might have missed it the first time, or it might be a great reminder just to listen to, again.
Today, we have Dr. Kim and Christina talking about Three Ways to Do Intimacy HER Way. So what are some of the things that women say make intimacy for them? Tune in today to find out.
Christina: Today we are going to be talking about Three Ways to Do Intimacy HER Way. Husbands, we want to help you out with some practical ways to build intimacy into your marriage, the way your wife needs it and wants it.
If you are new to the show, we drop a new episode every Tuesday and on the last Tuesday of every month, it's a special guest interview. Be sure to hit Subscribe in whatever podcast app you listen to so that you can join every week. So, Dr. Kim, I think, it's pretty important that first and foremost, let's define intimacy. What is intimacy?
Dr. Kim: Yes, I think it is. I was even thinking as we were preparing for this, that I used to use, probably, the term intimacy and sex, interchangeably. And I realized that I was not getting across to couples what I really wanted to sometimes. So now I talk about the physical relationship and intimacy as separate because I think they are.
Even though I think, a lot of times if you mention intimacy and someone thinks sex. But, I think, they're not the same thing. Intimacy can lead to sex, but, I think, it needs to stand on its own. It's something that draws a couple together. Communication can be intimate, well, that's not sex. Praying together can be intimate.
When you experience something really special between the two of you. The way you treat each other, and we treat each other really well, in general. And, so, I think, marriage is designed to draw us as close as we can to each other and intimacy is one of the ways to do that. And, I think, we miss out if our whole definition of intimacy is sex because we, maybe, skirt over these other things that can really bond us together. And in the big picture, I think, it does make sex life better.
Christina: Yes, absolutely, I agree. I think I always used to think of intimacy as just like anything naked. But, I think, there's more to it than that, and if you're, really, getting to the root of it, you're right. It's this connection between husband and wife, and it's private, it's just between the two of you. But it's, certainly, not just naked things.
Dr. Kim: Right.
Christina: Okay.
Dr. Kim: Because I have a question, because I just did a seminar and I had to use that word a lot, is it naked or “nekked”?
Christina: It's naked. But I prefer you to say it the way you normally say it.
Dr. Kim: “Nekked?”
Christina: Yes, because it's just funny.
Dr. Kim: Clayton King and I had that discussion one time, too. Being where he is, in South Carolina, his was, definitely “nekked.” It's a cultural thing.
Christina: Yes, that is a great point. It depends on where you're located, how to say that word. So there you go.
Dr. Kim: All right.
Christina: Awesome. Well, today we're just going to be talking about three different ways that women really crave intimacy. And, so, Dr. Kim, you're the expert here. You've counseled couples for a long time. You've been married for 51 years. So, Dr. Kim, we're going to talk about way number one. What's way number one?
Dr. Kim: I, really, think it's emotional intimacy. I think that is the thing that, really, connects our wives to us. I think, as husbands, we want to remove any barriers that keep that from happening. Maybe the way we talk to our spouse, maybe not giving her enough time, those kinds of things.
I think the fact of letting her be the first one that we share things with. I think, that's good and that makes her feel connected to us. Especially, if she's a stay-at-home mom and you're working. That helps her connect to who you are and what you're doing during the day. I think the whole deal of being best friends is part of that.
I think in the communication part, when I listen well to Nancy, I know that draws her to me emotionally. I think she feels very connected when she knows I'm listening well. I may not, totally understand everything, but I'm empathizing, or I'm asking questions or responding that way, I think that's a really important thing.
And I think it goes back to keeping that team approach there. This is something that, I think, is important to our wives and how can we help do that? I thought of something it's like we've got to be on the same team. And, so, we got to be wearing the same jerseys. And if you're not wearing the same jersey, it's time to change over to the same jersey your wife is wearing and your marriage will be better, and your sex life will be better.
Christina: Yes, that is so good. I love that. I, definitely, resonated with what you said about the stay-at-home mom things. About feeling disconnected from our husband's day-to-day life. I have, definitely, felt that and communicated that to Dylan, before. I, kind of, having FOMO a little bit of like, "Well, you have this whole life without me and your work friends know what's up with you."
Or sometimes he would post things on social media that were exciting, that were happening in the ministry or something. Before I heard about it because it happened at work and he just posted it at work.
Dr. Kim: Yes.
Christina: And, so, I communicated it to him and he, definitely, heard me and he's made a shift. Yes, I don't want to hear things about my husband from his friends, or his co-workers, or on Instagram. I want to hear them from him, and I, kind of want to be first.
Dr. Kim: Absolutely, and, I think, sometimes, we work and come home. But, I think, we need to let our wives know what's going on. And she needs to know it first, or even if you're just recapping your day.
Nancy always asks me how my day was. She, obviously, can't know people I see in clients, but sometimes I'll tell her scenarios and part of that is she prays for those people. And I'll say, "This couple is struggling in this area so would you pray for them." And stuff like that and we'll pray for them together then. So that, really, helps. But those things draw her together with me emotionally.
Christina: Yes, that's good. Yes, and it can be as simple as just texting her updates of things that are going on.
I know you can't pick up the phone and call your wife every time something cool at work happens, but you could send a quick text, every once in a while, when something, especially, cool happens at work or something.
Dr. Kim: Yes, especially, if it's something that I know Nancy and I have talked about or we've prayed about or prayed for someone, and something good happens in those people's life, I try to let her know then.
Christina: Yes, let her be the first to know, I like that. That's good.
Christina: Yes, I think, when it comes to this emotional connection, I think most men know that it's important to their wives that they feel wanted. But I think most men only think of that in a physical way.
So women don't just want to be wanted physically. Women want to know that you want all of them, their mind, who they are, to be their best friend, like what you're talking about. And a big part of that is this emotional connection.
Your wife wants to know that you want all of her and not just her body. I think a big part of this emotional intimacy means, really, seeing her. So noticing her and appreciating her. One of the most common complaints I hear from women is that they don't feel noticed or seen by their husbands.
The good news is if you're focusing on emotional intimacy. If you're focusing on emotional connection, you're going to notice her. And, so, I would just encourage you, if you're a husband and you're listening today and you're not really sure how you're doing in this area.
If you're not, really, sure if your wife feels seen by you, I encourage you, just ask her. Ask her if she feels seen by you. And if she says no, then be open to her response, and ask her for ways that you can show her that you notice and appreciate her. But truly seeing your wife is a big part of emotional intimacy.
Dr. Kim: Absolutely, that's so important. I mean, just think about it, guys, she has no doubt that you like her body. I mean, that is not something, you can say things and all that, but, obviously, you do.
And, so, yes, that's established. So then how do you connect?
How do you get closer to her? Where when we get to the sex, it's more enjoyable for her because she's so emotionally connected to you.
Christina: Yes.
Dr. Kim: I think that's, really, a lot of the two become one thing because you have that connection.
Christina: Yes, absolutely, that's good. Well, what about way number two, to do intimacy HER way?
Dr. Kim: I think, physical intimacy just to confuse us, probably, before I'm going to do with that is in everything but sex. And, I think, that's one of those things that, as guys, we struggle with.
I think we're really good about it before marriage of hugging her and giving her a kiss, look into her eyes, all those things that bond us together. And, I think, sometimes, we get into marriage and it's well the attention is all sex. And, so, going back and making sure you're hugging her, and kissing her, and cuddling on the couch, and holding her hand and those kinds of things.
Touching her everywhere except the private parts. Because I know a lot of women that as soon as the man's hand goes on her shoulder or anywhere else, they say, "Well, it's about three seconds and it's going to be somewhere else."
Christina: Yes.
Dr. Kim: But it depends on the time. You got to have a balance of both is what I'm saying. And, I think, I want Nancy to know that I, really, just enjoy hugging her and can walk away from that.
Christina: Yes, that's good. Yes, that non-sexual touching, I think, it's so important. I think, what it communicates to your wife, is what we were just talking about, of you want all of her and not just her body, not just her lady parts. You want all of her and it doesn't have to just lead to sexual.
There's this other physical connection that isn't sexual. There's the physical connection and then there's the physical sexual connection, and this matters too, especially, to women.
Dr. Kim: Yes, and, I think, what you'll see, too, if you can show some self-discipline in that, guy's, I think, your sex life will improve too. I think sometimes because she's going to, again, be closer to you and feel more intimate with you. And, so, I think, just take the time to do it.
There are times I come home from work and I am whipped, and she hugs me. And God designed us with these little touch receptors in our bodies and I can feel, like, wow, all of a sudden, just because of that hug. Well, she needs that too, it's the same thing and we need to make sure we're doing that for each other, really.
Christina: Yes, absolutely, and I agree with you. I think this will improve your sex life even though it sounds contradictory, but non-sexual touching will improve your sex life. And, I think, one of the reasons that that's the case, I hear from a lot of women, especially, moms, who they feel like the only time their husbands touched them is when they want sex.
And, so, for women, a lot of us, people want things from us all day long, especially, if you're a mom. And, so, if your wife thinks the only time you are ever going to touch her is when you want something from her. She's going to like reject your touches, sometimes, because she feels over-wanted, over-burdened by everyone else needing her and her body, and her attention, and her help.
And, so, if you make sure some of your touches are non-sexual and that she doesn't have that expectation, then she'll invite those sexual touches, sometimes, if it's not all the time.
Dr. Kim: No, I think, you're exactly right. I think, you, almost, can get the picture and I had a woman almost say it this way. I can't remember, exactly, how she said, but it's like, "I got a fifth kid that wants me."
She had four kids and this husband becomes a fifth kid because these kids have been wanting me all day and now he wants me, and I need to be, basically, I think, what she said, "I need to be built up first. I need to be rejuvenated. I need to feel close to him." And if you take the time to do that, then the sexual, probably, comes along at some point.
Christina: Yes, that's cool, I agree. And, I think, that's the interesting thing about this intimacy thing is even though we're not talking a lot about sex here, it can, and it often does, lead to sex. But that can't be the only reason you're doing it. It's about this connection between the two of you.
Dr. Kim: Yes, and I think, for me, Nancy, really, taught me because she would say, "You've got to touch me when you don't intend to have sex." Basically, is what she said. And, so, I thought, "Well, if this is going to be something I got to do, then, can I enjoy it?" And I do, I mean, I love it. I love just holding her and hugging her, a long hug, and then walking away from it.
Christina: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Kim: Because to know that, that was really cool. That was really good, I feel better because I just hugged her. And, so, I think, as guys, we've got to reframe all that and learn not just to do a checklist. "Okay, I hugged her. I put my arm around her, let's say we held hands, so, okay, sex." No, that's not it.
It's like you've got to enjoy that. Enjoy the time you're holding hands with her. Feel her hand like you did the first time you felt. The first time I held Nancy's hand, it was like the lightning went through my body. Because it was a big deal to, finally, get to where I felt confident enough to hold her hand. Well, try to re-live some of that stuff.
Christina: Yes, that's good, oh, I love that, that's awesome. Well, what about way number three, Dr. Kim?
Dr. Kim: Well, spiritual intimacy. I think it's the most important, probably, because of what it does for us. And, I think, it goes back to, really, where there was Adam and Eve. And they had this special relationship with God and they spent time with Him every day.
I think that God's relationship with them was that God spent time with both of them. And, I think, there's a reason that He didn't say, "Well, God and Adam were talking about this."
Or "God and Eve were talking about that." But the picture I get out of seeing it, is that it was the two of them together. And, so, that's, kind of, the spiritual intimacy on steroids, I guess.
But, I think, that's what God wants for all of us. And, so, that intimacy, I think, extends above the rest of them. I think it's the essence of intimacy because it comes from God and His love, and it connects the couple with God. And I don't think it's any better than that. At some point we need to, probably, do a podcast on the spiritual part of sex because it is and, really, God's plan for sex is the best sex ever.
Christina: Yes, that's so good. Absolutely, I think, when you love Jesus, it's attractive when your spouse is loving Jesus. I think for women, especially, it's important to us that our husbands are following after God. It gives us a sense of security in their leadership and a sense of respect for them.
If Dylan is following Jesus, I'll follow him anywhere. If his relationship with God wasn't present, I would not be so keen on following him anywhere.
Dr. Kim: Yes, no, I think so. And, for me, if I'm leading out of my own strength and stuff, yes, 99% of the time I'm going to screw it up or it's not, definitely, going to be as good as it could. But when Nancy sees me praying about things and leading out of that, I mean, she is as close to me as she can get because there's the intimacy there. She knows I've connected with Him, and with her.
Christina: So what are some practical ways that husbands can build into this spiritual intimacy with their wives?
Dr. Kim: Of course, the ideal, I think, is praying together. And I know, I talked to a couple of couples this week, good Christian couples, but never had, even, thought about praying. Or thought about it, but just thought, "Oh, how do we start doing that?"
And, so, I think, starting with praying together and just start where you're comfortable. If you'll just say to your wife, "Hey, we've been struggling with communication. Let's both pray about God to help us in that, so maybe we can listen better."
And, so, maybe, pray separately like that. But you've brought up the topic to pray with and if you get comfortable, at some point, to praying together, that's great. But I mean that, in itself, if you go to your wife and say, "Hey, this is something..."
Or, "This stuff that's going on with our 12-year-old son. Do you know what to do with it? I think we need God's help in this. Can we both pray for it?" You can pray then or you can pray separately for it. So, I mean, I think, that is a great in into it. And then, I think, I had guys, years, that would say, "I want to read the Bible with my wife."
And I'd say, "Well, just start somewhere."
And then I had a guy that came in and he just let it open, and it was in the middle of Leviticus. And, so, use the Bible app, get a reading plan on there. You don't have to do a marriage theme, we've got over 40 marriage plans, and some for men on that, but that's a great way to get in. It's easy. It can be quick, but at least you're connecting with her in the Bible.
And the fact that you take the initiative to do both of those things, I think, is huge. I think, that in itself draws our wives to us because they see, "He's doing something that is important to God and that's important to him, and it's important to me." And it's going to make our marriage better.
And, so, I think, just taking some of those steps, and then you can go on. I think every family needs to be in church, and, maybe, you guys have gotten out of that. And, sure, when you wake up on Sunday morning, you think, "Yes, it's so much easier just to turn back, or go out for breakfast, or do that."
But when you say, "Okay, everybody," Saturday night, you tell them, "We're going to church in the morning, everybody be ready." blah, blah, blah, and that you take that leadership there, I think, she loves to see you do that.
Christina: Absolutely, I agree, and I was going to say going to church together as well is a huge way to walk in that spiritual intimacy. And, I think, even going to church, sometimes, is really easy to just get in the motions.
But I would say to take it to that next level with your spiritual intimacy, get plugged in at your church, would be one way. So joining a small group or a community group. Making sure you're making friends at church and seeing them outside of church with other believers.
And then also a, really, simple way to make sure you're not just going through the motions is, on your drive home after church, just ask each other, "What was one thing you learned or one thing that spoke to you today."
And just making sure that you're not just sitting and listening and forgetting it as soon as you leave. But, really, building that intimacy of, "Well, let's just talk about the sermon that we just heard. Let's just talk about the worship that we just engaged in together." Instead of forgetting it the instant it's over.
Dr. Kim: Yes, I think, that's, really, good. I had somebody describe it, it's like you walk out of the church and if you have a bulletin or something, you throw that in the trash. And the whole thing you just experienced for an hour in the trash.
And I would even take it a step farther, when Nancy and I talk about, sometimes, we say, and probably we should do it more. Is just, "Okay, what do we learn from this? What's going to make our marriage different, our life different because of that?" And see if we come up with anything.
Nancy has insight that I don't have and I have insight that she doesn't have. And sometimes you hear the same message and you think, "Well, she's thought the same thing." And then you talk about it and you thought, "Oh, God showed her something, really, different than what He showed me." And that's cool. That's fun and those things try it together.
Christina: Absolutely, and it's such a simple thing. Asking a question, "What did you learn? What did God speak to you in that message?" And, yet, the richness of that spiritual intimacy, it's so deep, it's so good, and it's such a simple question to ask each other.
Dr. Kim: Absolutely, and just the fact that you ask it instead of going, "Oh, I hope it's not crowded at the restaurant when we get there. I sure am hungry." Stay connected to what you just heard for a little bit.
Christina: Yes, that's good.

Christina: Well, Dr. Kim, I think your three ways to do intimacy HER way are spot on, which is, obviously, not surprising. But if I was going to add a fourth, it would be security. I think women really crave security.
They need to know that you're going to be, totally, faithful. They need to know you're going to be stable, steady, consistent. Your wife needs to know how you feel about her. And, so, that security will do wonders, I think, for your intimacy together.
Dr. Kim: Absolutely, that was, actually, my fourth that I bumped out because I see it so much. I was talking to a guy that was just talking about, he's had some sexual experiences, he's engaged. So going to try to wait till marriage and all that kind of stuff.
And he said, "What's going to be different in sex?"
I said, "You can give her security." She can know, and you let her know, she's the only one for you. That you are committed to her. That when you're having sex with her, you're not thinking of anybody else, you're thinking and focusing, totally, on her.
And I said, "Those are the things that make it different because, in sex, you're bigger and stronger. A woman's very vulnerable. So when she can feel safe with you in the sexual relationship, when you provide for her, all those things give her security and draws her close to you.
And, I think, that's something that we men define totally different. What means security to me, in a marriage, is, totally, different than it is to Nancy.
Christina: Yes, and, I think, it's something that we, really, don't think about enough and we don't talk about enough. And, I don't know, on the female side of things, if I'm being honest, I feel like sometimes when I bring that up it's almost like, "How dare you bring that up?"
Because it's not as if women are weak for wanting security, but everybody wants security, everybody wants stability. Toxic things are unstable and insecure, solid things are stable and secure. It's a good thing. It's not a bad thing to crave security.
God built us that way, and it's not a bad need. It's not a bad want. And it's okay to voice that to your husband if you're feeling a lack of security in your relationship, in any number of ways, it's okay to voice that.
Dr. Kim: Yes, exactly and, I think, God created this that way. It does not make a woman weak at all and it allows us, as a husband, to fulfill that need. And, I think, that's why, in so many marriages, when the husband is not fulfilling that and the woman starts feeling insecure, then, a lot of things we're talking about, whether it's emotional, whatever kind of connections intimately, begin to, really, dissolve.
Christina: Mm-hmm, yes, absolutely. Well, we also asked our audience, on Instagram, to help us out with this specific episode. We asked them just a few questions about how to do intimacy HER way. So these are the three questions we asked.
We asked, what does intimacy mean to you? And we were asking it to the women.
How do you want intimacy?
And what would a perfect night of intimacy look like with your husband?
And, so, I thought it would be fun just to list off the major themes that we saw from that poll response. We love it when you guys engage with us and tell us what you're thinking. And, so, here are some of the ways that ladies defined intimacy.
They said;
Sharing a space with my husband whether it's emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual.
The blending of two hearts, souls, and bodies, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
Time together mindfully, spiritual, and sexual.
Valuing time with me.
Quality conversations.
A connection that supersedes the physical, but is often helped by it. I thought that one was, really, good.
Dr. Kim: I like that.
Christina: No boundaries, it's my husband and I sharing love.
Dr. Kim: Wow, that's so good. I mean, if we've had that printed for guys, I couldn't argue with any of those things and I can do those, man. That's good.
Christina: Yes, so I just thought it was, really, helpful to share. And then here are some things that ladies said they wanted when it comes to intimacy. They said: I want him to really see me, and initiate, and be intentional. Knowing that I'm secure, which we hit on. Physical touch with no expectation, it's like they read your mind.
Dr. Kim: I know, I've counseled too many women over the years.
Christina: It's like you know what you're talking about or something.
Dr. Kim: Yes.
Christina: Talking about things that matter.
Transparency.
Taking the time to invest in me, my day, how I am.
Really listening.
Being heard and validated, not dismissed, I like that one.
Deep conversations.
Closeness.
Oneness.
Being in a safe place with my person.
To be fully accepted.
And then we asked the ladies what a perfect, intimate, night would look like. And they all said some kind of summation of an activity, dinner, and conversation. And then most ladies did say sex, so there you go, women do want sex, when it comes to intimacy, they just want these other things as well.
Dr. Kim: Yes, and, I think, as guys, again, enjoy the activity, and the dinner, and the conversation, don't look at it as a checklist. I want to go back to a couple of things that they wanted, though. That, I think, I want to just say to the guys. Because two on there stand up to me as, really, hard for us, and that is transparency and deep conversations.
And it's hard for most all of us, guys, so don't feel bad if those are hard for you. I would just say work on it. Take baby steps, begin to share, I want your marriage to be where you feel like you can share everything, anything with her, and she still loves you, cares for you, and that draws her closer to you.
So just begin to work on that. Most of us don't know how to do deep conversations. It's okay to let her guide that and you can just bring it up, "Hey, is there something, really, important to you that we could talk about? We've got 30 minutes, can we talk about that?" Let her bring it up and then just go along with the flow.
But, I think, both of those, when we talk about in counseling. I usually see guys, it's the deer-in-headlights look a lot of times, and, I think, it's because we don't know how to do it.
So I just want to go back to those to encourage you. To not let that frighten you and that you can do those things, and through prayer and effort, God will help you do that.
Christina: Yes, absolutely, that is so good. And we, actually, just came out with our resource that I feel will be, really, helpful. The resource, Questions to Help My Spouse Open Up, and if that's you.
If you have a hard time with deep conversations, if you download this resource and give it to your spouse for them to initiate it, I think it could, really, help.
And then, obviously, you have to be willing. There's 80 questions at the end of it that you get to take your pace with. You're not going to do all 80 in one evening, it's going to take several weeks.
But there's some prompting for the spouse who is comfortable opening up to do ahead of time. And, I think, that it could be a, really, great exercise for you to step close, slowly but surely, into those deep conversations.
Dr. Kim: Yes, absolutely, and it's okay to take baby steps. You didn't learn how to ride a bike without working at it. You didn't learn how to throw a baseball, well, without working at it.
It just takes practice and if you practice it, the benefits on here are, probably, a lot better than learning how to throw a baseball. Unless you're in a major league [Inaudible 00:26:39] I mean, seriously.
Christina: Amen, that's good, absolutely. Well, this has been a cool conversation. Do you have any final thoughts for our listeners today, Dr. Kim?
Dr. Kim: I think this is really fun. I love what the ladies said, that entered the survey, and, I think, this and the one we're going to do on the other side for HIS way. I think they're just important and, I think, that whole idea of getting, "How can we grow closer together?"
Well, intimacy is what we all want. And just knowing if the effort and the time we put into that, even if the sex didn't get better because of that, it's still going to make your marriage better.
Christina: Yes, absolutely, that is so good.
Well, next week on the podcast we're going to be talking about Three Ways to Do Intimacy HIS Way. So, ladies, it'll be your turn to listen up and find more about your man, and intimacy HIS way.

Christina: Is your spouse hard to talk to? Do you ever feel like you're talking to an empty room or a blank wall? Well, you are not alone. If you long for deeper connection, better conversation, and more intimacy with your spouse, we have a resource we pray helps you.
Our new resource Questions to Help Your Spouse Open Up. But hear me out, this is not a project to crack the vault of your spouse's heart. It's not meant to shake them into submissively, having romantic heart-to-hearts with you late into the night.
Don't use this to try to get something from your spouse. Use this tool to give to your spouse and grow in your knowledge of them. This is a team exercise to help you have better, deeper, richer conversations.
This digital resource is a PDF that includes a journaling and gratitude exercise, for you to do as you posture your heart to help your spouse open up. Some tips for creating a safe environment for your spouse to open up. As well as 80 questions to ask your spouse as you invite them to open up to you.
You can get The Questions to Help Your Spouse Open Up resource, with a donation of any amount made to The Ministry of Awesome Marriage at the link to the specific giving page in our show notes.
