The Naked Marriage Quotes

“We can learn to claim our closeness with our partners—to push back against the world’s duties and pressures and insist upon our time together. A little bit of time each and every week is all we’re after. Enough to reconnect, to keep our desire alive and well, and to escape from life’s stresses and obligations long enough to let go into each other.”

We want to reach that twentieth, or thirty-second, or forty-fifth wedding anniversary and be able to say, “She’s the love of my life, and I can’t possibly imagine a day without her,” or “He’s the very best person I know, and I am so lucky to be in love with him.” We want intimacy, we want sweetness and joy, and we want a grace-filled experience of love. But look around. Who has taught us to love well? Who has given us the skills we need to help make our genuine commitment translate itself into a daily loving practice? For many of us, the answer is: no one. No one has taught us how to do this, so we must teach ourselves.”
