It is said that good communication is necessary to build any successful relationship. Communication and commitment certainly form the vital framework for a healthy marriage. But effective communication goes beyond speaking and listening. It is possible to say too much; to spew destructive words that tear a home down. It may be possible to hear too much; to assume the worst intentions of one’s partner. Is this not why the “two will become one flesh”? Sex is the super-glue that bonds partners, holds a marriage together. This sacred act is designed to reconcile and unite spouses in expressing tender love, forgiveness, acceptance when words fail. If fruitful, a couple may also be rewarded by the pleasure of children!
