teaching sexual intimacy.

sex.
Such a scary topic sometimes. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, it isn't! Sex is not a bad thing, but a sacred thing! I think realizing this is hard. But it's important to! You are going to have to teach it to your children, which to many people is one of the scariest things of all. Here are some things parents must know in regards to the topic of sex:
Prepare.
Don't shut down.
Don't rely on others to teach your children. Let you be the teacher of your children.
Don't let fear override.
Don't just focus on the "physical" of intimacy.
Don't rely on media messages.
DOn't just have one conversation, have multiple.
Don't leave it up to one parent. Both parents should have a voice and influence on children.
Don't wait until the night before the wedding (haha).
DOn't lie about it.

Something I also feel is important to write is that you should teach your children the dangers of pornography. People do not realize how big of a deal it is, and the affects it can have on an individual. The dangers of it are real. It changes an individual. Both mentally and emotionally. Teach your children to avoid it like they would the gates of hell. To me this is so important, and that's what I've been feeling a lot lately.
