Pastor Gary Thomas shares four biblical principles for building intimacy in relationships—whether in marriage, friendships, or family. He explains that intimacy is not just something couples “have” but a skill that can be developed. The four keys are:

🔹Honesty – True intimacy requires transparency; deception destroys trust.
🔹A Blessing Mentality – Choosing daily to ask, “How can I bless my spouse (or friend) today?” rather than “How can I get my needs met?”
🔹Killing Spiders – Removing habits, behaviors, or triggers that hurt or distance loved ones, even if they aren’t sinful in themselves.
🔹Born for This Mentality – Embracing adversity in relationships as God-given opportunities to show love and commitment.
