Dallas Pastor Ed Young: Intimacy Safeguards Against Common Marriage Problems
Grapevine, Texas (PRWEB) June 06, 2012
It is a commonly cited statistic that many marital feuds, arguments, and even divorces are rooted in money. A new report affirms this common adage, finding that dishonesty or lack of openness about money can ultimately prove detrimental to a marriage. Any sense of delusion or lack of full communication about the couple’s financial state, the report finds, can wreak long-term havoc on the marriage relationship. This report has garnered the attention of Dallas pastor Ed Young, who says there is one thing that can help couple safeguard against these money-related disputes—and that one thing is intimacy.
Indeed, the pastor has long taught on the importance of intimacy within a marriage, and now he says one of the greatest benefits offered by regular intimacy is the way it protects the couple against delusion or dishonesty. In a new statement to the press, Ed Young responds to the recent report on marriage and finance. “Marriage is all-encompassing,” says Young. “The Bible describes it as two becoming one. That includes the area of finances.”
Young goes on to offer practical advice for married couples seeking to gain full intimacy and honesty in their communication with each other. “You have to be on board together as a couple in all areas if the marriage is going to be successful,” says Ed Young. “There are some crucial conversations that need to be had. This article has some great tips in getting those conversations going.”
Ed Young is no stranger to speaking out in defense of intimacy and its important role within a marriage. His most recent book, Sexperiment—written alongside wife Lisa—is a book about precisely that. In it, the Youngs detail the many practical benefits that couples receive when they make sex a priority.
While Ed Young is quick to point out that sex is not the only important part of marriage, he says that it does offer many benefits—and that many Christian couples write it off too quickly. Sexperiment makes the case for intimacy as a cornerstone of any happy, healthy marriage.
In fact, Sexperiment—written primarily to Christian married couples—issues a challenge to its readers. Ed Young encourages married couples to have sex together every day for a full week. Then, he exhorts them to discuss the ways in which the marriage improves their relationship together, including their openness in communication and also their standards of purity.
