To Have and to Hold (Marriage Vows)
One of the most misunderstood phrases in the marriage vows is “to have and to hold.” This statement is more powerful than many realize. So what does it mean exactly? Today’s episode explores one of the most important facets of a healthy marriage. To be honest, I didn’t really take this phrase seriously when I got married. Many couples don’t. The wedding vows, in general, can often be just another part of the ceremony that doesn’t get much attention. However, in making a lifelong commitment to someone, every word should be taken seriously. There should be a weightiness, if you will, to our words.
In a nutshell, to have and to hold is all about our sexual intimacy. Too many couples are struggling in this area unnecessarily. Many might think that newlyweds are well-skilled in the sexual intimacy department, but statistics show that an increase in couples don’t even have sex on their wedding night because they’re so exhausted from the wedding festivities. This is a problem. To have and to hold is, of course, more than a sex talk. It’s about creating real intimacy. For today’s purposes, however, I’m giving you four easy-to-remember tips to jump-start or restart your sex life.
