Is Anything “Off Limits” for a Married Couple in the Bedroom? 2022-11-01T13:58:10-05:00 Dave Willis
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
EVERY couple has to deal with issues in the bedroom. Your sexual intimacy can and SHOULD be one of the most fulfilling and FUN aspects of your marriage, but it won’t happen automatically. Both you and your spouse have baggage, expectations, hangups, hurts, and a myriad of other factors that need to be communicated for both of you to experience physical pleasure, emotional intimacy and the spiritual oneness that God intends to happen whenever a husband and wife make love.
In our work with married couples, my wife Ashley and I have found that most couples won’t (or don’t know how) to have these important conversations. It feels somehow too vulnerable. Too scary. Or perhaps, they just don’t know how to put words to what they’re actually feeling.
Along with some of our trusted friends and partners in marriage ministry, Ashley and I put together a video course on sexual issues in marriage which you can see by clicking HERE. This video course doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but the couples who have done it have said that it made a massive impact in how they communicated about these issues and ultimately it made a tremendous improvement in their sexual intimacy. It also helped them communicate more effectively in other areas. When you improve your communication, you’ll improve your sex life, but you’ll also simultaneously improve nearly every other aspect of your relationship!
We know these issues can be uncomfortable to talk about, but they’re vitally important. As husband and wife, you should be able to talk about ANYTHING. Get naked (both physically AND emotionally). Get vulnerable. It will be wonders for your marriage.
