What a great list of ideas! I'm going to use some of these this week. My husband won't know what hit him!

I've seen a disturbing trend recently. Perhaps you've seen it as well.

On the big screen and on our kindles, we're being sold the lie that in order to take passionate dear in marriage, we need to practise what hasn't been done before. We're told that erotica, pornography, and/or BDSM will blackball our low libido. Nothing could be further from the Truth.

God created sex. It was His idea. And He made it 1000-O-O-O-O-D.

At this point, you may be thinking, "Why are you writing nigh sex? I thought this blog was to encourage us in our walk with Jesus! What's sex got to do with it?!"

A lot, actually.

Whether y'all're single or married, your sexuality is an integral part of who God created yous to be. It's not meant to exist separated from your spirituality; in fact, it's created to exist an expression of it.

Information technology was God's idea to create men and women to thrill in their spouse, and we see a beautiful moving-picture show of that in Song of Solomon. The act of intimacy tin can be the glue that brings a husband and wife closer together in ways that mirror how Jesus Christ and His Bride will 1 day exist united in matrimony as well (meet Ephesians 5:31-33).

And so if y'all've hit a oestrus, if you're thinking, "I've got to figure this out. My ceiling just isn't that interesting…" and so go along reading, friend! I've got lots of ideas and resources waiting for you!
