Sexual Intimacy is
Possible Again
Day 171
It is not unusual for profound grief to impact sexual
intimacy in a marriage.
“With me, it was very hard to go back to a sexual
relationship after my parents died,” says Silvia. “My husband could not really
understand why this bothered me, but he saw me through it, and we’ve been
married forty-eight years.”
Your marriage can survive and come out stronger. Persevere
in love, and do not let your feelings rule your actions.
“The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to
her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone
but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and
for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together
again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
(1 Corinthians 7:4-5).
Holy God, sexual
intimacy just doesn’t feel right anymore. Help me to rise above my emotions and
move toward Your love. When I move toward You, my love for my spouse will be
carefully and securely strengthened again. Amen.
