4. Be intimate on ALL levels.

I promise I am not using some kind of comfortable code-language here; I am most definitely talking about sex, but it is only a part of intimacy. Sex is an awesome perk of marriage, yet so many married couples we talk to either have an unfulfilling sex life or no sex life at all.

I was recently talking to some friends about this very subject at a womens retreat. These women said they were totally in love with and attracted to their husbands, but they rarely felt the desire to have sex. The more we talked, the more it seemed that exhaustion was the problem. These women felt overwhelmed, like many of us do, and sex had become just another thing on the to-do list.

Sex can just be a physcial act, but God designed it to be so much more than that. He gave us this incredible gift to share with our spouse as a beautiful celebration of our love and committment to one another. It is a spirtual, emotional, mental, and physical communion of souls. So, there’s a lot that goes into the actual act. As women, it is often hard to make room in our minds to even think about enjoying sex with our husbands due to our many responsibilites and the way God wired our minds, but it is crucial that we do it. We are robbing ourselves and spouses of the most intimate act of marriage when we turn them down. God makes it clear in the Word that we need to fulfill each other’s needs for physical intimacy (1 Cor. 7:3-5). Don’t edge God out of your sex life. We not only serve each other by fulfilling these needs, but we protect each other from some of the temptations that can come our way outside of our homes. So, go on. Put the kiddos to bed, leave the laundry alone, put on some Barry White, and get freaky. You’ll be glad you did.
