Advice on Sexual Intimacy for Married Women

September 12, 2012 By shelley Leave a Comment

 

Sexual intimacy in marriage“Ladies, if you are married and are at odds with your husband, it could be for a variety of reasons and in your anger or bitterness you withhold intimacy from your husband, you are setting him up for sexual temptation outside the marriage.

Sexual intimacy is a natural desire and need just like sleep and eating is. My advice is to figure out what your angry about and deal with that. As women,our bodies are also designed with the natural desires for sexual intimacy, if you are lacking that natural desire, it may be more than emotional, it may be a lack of hormones or your bodies natural chemicals are out of balance.

Sexual intimacy provides so much more than just the physical it acts as a bonding agent that can actual improve the immune system. So go enjoy that natural desire and boost that potentially lagging immune system.”

Thank you Eileen for sharing your advice!   I also know the same can also be true on the flip side if the husband is withholding intimacy as well.  So it is important for both the husband and wife to come together sexually on a regular basis. For my husband and I, we have both struggled with pornography in the past and noticed that it decreased our desire for sex with each other.   God is bringing healing to our marriage and restoring what the enemy intended to destroy.

What are you thoughts?  Anything else that can hinder sexual intimacy in marriage?

New Book: When Your Husband Is Addicted to Pornography

Guest post by Vicki Tiede

Thank you for inviting me to be a guest on your blog today. I appreciate the opportunity to share my story with you. People’s stories are important and I think particularly if you’re a woman whose husband is addicted to pornography, hearing the stories of other women helps you know that you are not alone. Time and time again when I speak for a conference or a retreat women will approach me afterwards and say, “What you said up there … that’s exactly how I feel. How did you know?”

I know, because I’ve walked in her shoes. You never know what it’s like to be married to a man addicted to pornography until you are that woman. Only then can you truly understand how being rejected in favor of countless digitally enhanced images of other women makes you feel; ugly, incompetent, insufficient, undesirable, unworthy … the list goes on. The good news is, I also know firsthand that Jesus can and will take the pieces of that woman’s broken heart and make something beautiful. I wrote When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography for other women who need someone to take them to the cross.

Here’s my story …

I probably don’t need to tell you that mainstream society largely considers lust, fantasy, self-gratification, and pornography acceptable. In fact, they promote it. For more reasons than I explain here, this scares the daylights out of me!

Let me tell you one reason we need to take pornography addiction very seriously. Pornography is a counterfeit sexual experience that damages healthy relationships as God intended. That’s because pornography decreases a man’s interest in real intimacy with his wife and increases his hunger for more porn. Do you see why it’s naïve to believe that his porn addiction isn’t hurting anyone but him? If you or someone you know is married to a man addicted to pornography, then you’re painfully aware of the tsunami of emotions that overtake you. God’s Word has something to say about this to the brokenhearted woman.

I am not a counselor, but I know the Wonderful Counselor and I would consider it a privilege to walk this journey of healing your heart with you as you work through the pages of When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography.

Did something about my story resonate with you? If you are able, I would love to know how it did so. (You are welcome to share your comments anonymously.) And may I take a moment to tell you, if your husband is addicted to pornography, how very sorry I am that you have had to walk this journey. Please know that there is hope and healing in Jesus Christ.
