5. Ignoring the need for sex or refusing to have sex on a regular basis.

Many couples struggle in this area, but most refuse to talk about it. Sex is important, and unless there is a major medical issue, you need to be having sex regularly with one another. And, it shouldn’t be viewed as a “chore” or as ticking a box on your to-do list. Sex is a beautiful gift from God, and married couples should be enjoying this gift as much as possible. But, this is easier said than done when we are angry with one another and feel disconnected. It’s important that we talk about any issues we have with our spouse as soon as we feel them and address the problem head on. We should never refuse to have sex to punish our spouse or demand sex from our spouse. This is unhealthy and abusive, and it will greatly wear down a marriage. Again, sex is a gift, and when both spouses treat it this way, your marriage will grow stronger.

Dear Reader, if you see yourself or your spouse in any of these five scenarios, please know that it’s not too late to turn things around. Start the conversation with him/her, and be willing to listen. Your marriage CAN be better, stronger, and beyond what you ever dreamed when you both choose to work through things together and refuse to give up on one another.

Thanks so much for reading, responding, and sharing. I’d love to connect with you on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Be blessed!
