There are three types of intimacy, and all 3 are required for the best marriage you can have.
Emotional intimacy - always listen, actively work at it, echo back what you thought you heard her say for confirmation as needed. ETA She should be your best friend. Friendships take effort, make sure she stays your best friend.
Spiritual intimacy - pray together often, and not "for the starving children in African" but for the needs of your heart. You can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to God. Get spiritually naked together, hiding nothing before God, because He already knows what's really going on.
Physical intimacy - All I have to say about this is I hope your are both equal in your desire for each other, and remain so. If you are not, you will have problems.
There is also some good reading material recommended above.
I'd recommend buying two copies of The Five Love Languages, a blue highlighter and a pink highlighter (or pick your own colors). You take one book and one color, she takes the other. Read one chapter a week, highlight parts that are important to you. Then swap books, read what the other has highlighted, and set aside a time to talk about it. Return the books to each other, and repeat till you run out of chapters.
Find a church where the Bible is taught, and Jesus Christ is recognized as Lord, and where He is loved. I avoid High Churches because I believe that formality is a barrier to intimacy, and God wants us to be intimate with him.
Best wishes to you both, may you lead holy lives, lifting one another up before the Lord.
