- "From the moment of birth until we draw our last breath, we need the emotional, physical,
and spiritual nourishment of touch. . . . Few things are more comforting than a hug or a loving
hand over ours when we are hurt, scared, lonely, or tired. Touch is the universal language of
love."
- "When touch is shared as God intended in marriage, the massive physical nourishment
of sexual touch and orgasm can flood the mind, body, and spirit with fulfillment."
- "The greatest healer of all, Jesus Christ, healed many through the power of physical
touch. Though faith was required to be healed, the Lord did not simply look at them,
speak to them, or point to them to heal them. He touched them."
- "Understanding the importance of loving physical touch, as a need similar to the need
for water, air and shelter, can provide motivation for all to be more free and frequent
with loving touch."
- "Because of the prevalence of a 'touch is sexual' mindset, it is difficult for some
husbands and wives to disconnect touch from sex and enjoy nonsexual affection as a
pleasure in itself."
- "Many women discover that, over time, as their needs for nonsexual touch begin to be
filled, they are more sexually attracted to their husbands. But remember, nonsexual touch
must be given with NO STRINGS ATTACHED!"
- "Without an emphasis on the emotional benefits, touch may become simply a sexual
trigger or technique, causing couples to miss out on its greater purposes. Touch is best
given as an expression of love rather than merely a means toward a sexual goal."
- "Men and women can and should seek to develop a healthy sexual identity, a godly
gratitude for their sexuality and a righteous willingness to allow their sexuality to
blossom within marriage."
- "It is a woman’s responsibility to understand her own body, for it is critical to
sexual fulfillment within marriage. If a woman is unfamiliar with her own anatomy and
sexual functioning, or has not yet been able to experience orgasm, she may need to give
herself permission to learn about her body."
- "Remember, the primary sexual challenge for women is to awaken and free their sexuality,
whereas for men, the main challenge is to control and contain their sexuality."
- "The [Sensate Focus] system used here is a great way to put a spark into any marriage
and can be repeated as often as desired. Going through the exercises or adapting them to
meet your needs may be a great anniversary tradition to keep your relationship fresh,
alive, and pleasurable."
