this morning, i re-read what i wrote yesterday and feel a need to add something to it before next week.
as highly as i think of the sexual intimacy that god designed for a husband and wife, i don’t want to leave the impression that it is what marriage is all about or that sex is what defines a relationship. nor do i believe that sexual gratification is the goal of being human.
while i am choosing to write about great sex between a husband and wife, i recognize this topic may be painful for some…and it is with some reservation and sensitivity that i wade into the topic.
some of your marriages may be struggling right now and developing your sexual intimacy is not the biggest thing you need right now. some of you may have lost your spouses and this discussion is simply too painful to read. my heart goes out to you. some of you are unmarried and talking about this topic can run the risk of creating fantasy if it is not entered into with an attitude of sacred. some of you may be happily married, but your sex life is not what it used to be and you are content with how that has changed. some of you have experienced a sexual relationship outside of marriage and this discussion is causing you guilt or frustration.
but no matter where you are at on the sex continuum, it’s still super important to talk about it…and do our best to get it right.
my goal is not to make you feel guilty or frustrate you or create feelings of disappointment or failure…but to inspire you! i want to talk about a topic that is (or at least should be) important to all of us. and as i speak about the worth and value of a great and godly sexual relationship, please know that i am working to do this with sensitivity and compassion to the place in life you find yourself.
