The Mystery of Intimacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798237465051)

You can have someone near you without truly having intimacy with them.

King David had palaces, servants, wives, sons, and a legacy that would echo through history. Yet in his final days he lay beneath heaps of clothing and could not get warm. Scripture says Abishag cherished him and ministered to him, but "the king knew her not."

Many marriages live in that same cold room today. Husbands and wives share a house, a bed, children, and a bank account, and still feel like strangers. In The Mystery of Intimacy, Bishop Osei Tweneboah Koduah reveals why company, sex, children, possessions, and attraction can never produce closeness on their own, and how God designed marriage for something deeper: to know and be known.

Drawing on Scripture, decades of pastoral counsel, and practical wisdom on touch, safety, communication, trust, rest, and prayer, this book will help couples in every season rekindle what has grown cold and grow old together with someone who still knows them.
