Song of Solomon 2:15
“The little foxes spoil the vine.”
Intimacy rarely collapses overnight. It dies through small unaddressed patterns that feel normal but slowly disconnect the heart.
1. Sarcasm disguised as humor
Sarcasm cuts deeper than you think. It makes your husband feel unsafe around your words.
2. Sharing marital issues with friends instead of God or a counselor
Oversharing invites voices that do not carry the grace to help you. Opinions cannot fix what prayer and wisdom can.
3. Emotional shutdown
Silence is a silent punishment. It creates emotional distance that feels like rejection.
4. Withholding affection
Touch is a language. When withheld, it communicates rejection even if you say you love him.
5. Subtle disrespect
Facial expressions, tone, and dismissive responses speak loudly. Disrespect kills admiration.
6. Comparing him to other men
Comparison poisons connection. A man wants to feel chosen, not measured.
7. Dismissing his feelings because he looks strong
Even strong men feel deeply. Ignoring his emotions makes him retreat into himself.
Intimacy is a garden that must be protected intentionally. What feels small today can become a wall tomorrow. Guard connection with wisdom.
