6 practices that, according to Christian teachings, it is recommended to avoid in privacy and why it is advisable to reflect on them.

1. Not using intimacy to fill a spiritual void
One of the most common mistakes is trying to heal internal wounds with physical proximity. Loneliness, abandonment, lack of self-love, or emotional pain are not resolved with momentary pleasure.

Seeking in another person what only God can restore generates a circle of dependence, frustration, and emptiness. Each surrender without inner healing leaves the soul more tired and confused. Intimacy was not created to mend the heart, but to bring together two people who are already working on their spiritual integrity.

When the body is used to quench a hunger of the soul, one does not find peace, but more thirst.

2. Not giving up the body without a covenant commitment
Intimacy was never thought of as a simple physical act. It has a deep spiritual dimension. That is why the Bible links it directly to marriage: the covenant is what protects, honors, and sustains the union.
