Wedding Vows

I love officiating formal church weddings. I especially look forward to that precise moment when the bride first steps into view, relishing the exquisite sensations of those extraordinary seconds. I watch her raise her eyes from her bouquet to his face, and without turning to see his response, know precisely when their eyes meet. I hear his sharp intake of breath and feel the bridesmaids’ stirring and murmuring around me. Everything changes, becomes more vivid, as if by her coming she has brought a different dimension of life to us all.

What is Intimacy?

She interrupted my talk to tell me that I should say the word differently to make its meaning clear. Instead of intimacy, I should say it into-me-see. She had a great point. The Dictionary defines intimacy as “a close, familiar, and usually affectionate or loving personal relationship with another person or group.” In the social sciences we think of it as closeness, openness, vulnerability, and transparency. Pronouncing it into-me-see does a great job of giving the meaning in the way the word sounds. It is letting another person look deep inside you.

Emotional Affairs, What’s All the Fuss About?

There are two quite different beliefs as to what is an emotional affair; the one believes it to be a workplace friendship, the other believes it to be the single most dangerous threat to a marriage possible. These two viewpoints do not fall neatly into gender camps, but there is a commonality between those on one side and those on the other. The deniers tend to see themselves at the center of most interactions, while those who accept that emotional infidelity is a real and potential threat have heightened empathy and see relationships as involving several people.

Infidelity is a breach of faith and occurs in a number of contexts (e.g., in religious contexts). Also called cheating: 'any violation of the mutually agreed-upon rules or boundaries of a relationship'. What constitutes an act of infidelity varies between and within cultures.
