"The joy of intimacy is the reward of commitment."
It's deciding to do what's best for others by never asking for intimacy that you're not able to match with commitment.

Intimacy without commitment contradicts what the Bible teaches about true love. Instead of being selfless, it's selfish; instead of being patient, it's impatient; instead of looking out for the ongoing good of the other person, it's focused on the needs of the moment. 

We don't ask for a level of intimacy and emotional loyalty that goes beyond our true level of commitment. 

The best relationships are between two people who care more about each other's good.. than their own momentary pleasure. 

Where is true joy? It's found in God's brand of love - 
love founded on faithfulness,
love rooted in commitment.
