Happy couples share intimate time together, Brinley says
PROVO, Utah — Happily married Mormon couples take the time to pray together, talk, walk and be intimate with one another, said BYU family studies professor Douglas E. Brinley, Wednesday at the 2009 BYU Campus Education Week.
"Unhappy couples do what miserable couples do. Happy couples do what happy couples do. They share life in depth with each other. They live the gospel. They become each other's therapist," Brinley said. "They listen, reflect, encourage, compliment, shape and help think things through."
They enjoy physical contact, touching, kissing, hugging and holding hands as well as frequent intimacy.
Intimacy is important and designed by the Lord, he said.
