What intimacy?

You’re probably wondering what the heck you ever saw in this guy! But not to worry – the tenderness you seek may just be dormant. If you can remember the reasons why you agreed to marry him in the first place, and start respecting him for those reasons, you can still have the marriage you’ve always dreamed of. Start surrendering today. You won’t be sorry.
