Sexual intimacy can be such a hard topic for some people to talk about, especially within the Mormon culture. Growing up my parents said that they would answer any questions that we had but they were not very open about talking about it. Because of this I have always viewed it as being something bad and something that you should not take part in. However, as I have grown up and as I have been working on preparing myself the best that I can for marriage I have come to learn that it is not something bad when used in marriage. It can bring you closer to your spouse and bring both of you a lot of joy and ultimately help you create a family. It is not inappropriate when expressed in marriage.
I will be getting married in a few month and this has been a topic that my fiancé and I have talked about some. While I am excited to experience that part of our relationship with him, I have noticed that I am kind of nervous about it too, and I think that is because it was something that I was always taught was bad and secretive as a kid. It will probably take me some time to really feel okay with being intimate with my husband because of it. As I have thought about how I want my children to learn about sex and intimacy I know that I do not want it to be the same way that I was. While I do not want to be to open about everything and make it something that it unsacred to them, I also do not want it to be something that they won’t be comfortable talking about with me or their dad, and eventually their spouse. It can definitely be a fine line.
