“The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:11-12

This luncheon invites women from every stage of life—married, single, divorced, and widowed—to explore a meaningful, biblical vision of intimacy and connection within marriage. While physical closeness is often emphasized, Scripture points to a much broader understanding of what it means to love with wisdom, integrity, and purpose.

Together, we will look at the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical dimensions of intimacy, gaining insight into God’s design for relationships and how these principles can shape our character, our choices, and our influence—whether we are currently married or not.

Attendees will leave encouraged, equipped, and inspired, with practical tools and biblical truth that speak to every woman’s journey. This session offers a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and grow as we consider what it means to “do good” in the relationships God has entrusted to us.
