What exactly are you considering physical intimacy?
I can't speak for HFF of course but I agree that intimacy (not physical intimacy) needs to be a constant in a marriage. To me, intimacy has many levels - anywhere from quiet moments alone to full-blown sex.
I think we speak the same language in that area Michael. Just had a converstation along this topic last night with W. I mentioned that I really notice (and enjoy) when she initiates physical contact. Even the little touches are important to me, like when she reaches out to touch my shoulder or hold my hand.
