How Do We Grow in Intimacy as a Couple?

Published on: 18th December, 2025

Series: What I Wish I Knew Before Getting Married

In this episode, we’re diving into a big question: How do we grow in intimacy as a couple?

Do you find yourself avoiding difficult conversations with your spouse—especially around intimacy? And what does healthy sexual intimacy really look like?

Physical closeness is one way we express love, but sexual intimacy is more than that — it's a language, — a form of communication. So, let’s talk.

Our host, Hosanna Nazar, is joined by Raymond and Jenny Teo, founders of Ten Butter Fingers and a couple married for 25 years. They encourage couples to explore and learn together. Even after marriage, it’s okay to say, “We’re still figuring it out.” Because intimacy is not about pressure or performance —it’s about growing in trust, humility, and openness.
