Bring these two things to your sex life today ❤️

Although we are indeed more than just our type in marriage, this week Dr. Sam Greenberg really hit home with some truths for us.

She talked about what she sees in terms of spouses and the ways they differ in terms of love - the trends really may fit you in this season or they may seem quite irrelevant but regardless, may I welcome you to enjoy the truth that intimacy together is an intentional process.

At this stage of your marriage, I don’t even know if you like sexual intimacy with your spouse, but I DO know this.

Intimacy, whether sexual or not, IS important.

I ask that this week, as your jaw is set and you’re likely fired up to get everything done you need to get done today, that you would also, with great care, lean in toward your spouse for some sort of increased intimacy.

I ask that you would try to honor your spouse with their desires yes, but also that you would be brave to share what yours are too. 

You ARE worth this and you will feel better and have less stress once you do two things. 

1. Show love and grace. Let your spouse set the boundaries they need for their comfort.

2. Show up for you! Even if it takes time to think through what you need, take it. You are worth this!

It’s that simple and I will say it forever. But it’s truly a marvel to exude and sometimes what is simply learned takes lots of practice.

I hope to send you into the rest of your week with great care and encouragement.
