“4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8

Love Does Not Delight In Evil… Love Rejoices With The Truth

Her face showed sadness and confusion. I knew she wanted to believe what I told her, but she didn’t see how it could be possible for her.

I had just finished speaking at a marriage conference where I had talked to couples about how to experience greater intimacy–specifically in the bedroom. “Say his name. Say I love you. Concentrate on him, not just on what you think is sexy,” I had said. Read Full Article

The Deception Of Pornography And How It Affects Marriage

The Deception Of Pornography And How It Affects Marriage sex intimacy in marriage encouragements for wives sex pornography intimacy erotica dissociate 50 shades of grey Unveiled Wife

Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed exclusively between a husband and his wife.  I believe it is an experience of intimacy that should only be fulfilled in marriage.

Unfortunately, our culture today sells sex, as if it is a product devoid of true value.  All the more unfortunate is that husbands and wives are not protected from these tempting packaged products that falsely claim to be a good source of sexual fulfillment.  If husbands and wives are not careful, intentionally armored so to speak, their marriage may be infiltrated and their intimacy compromised.

One of the most destructive sexual products I am referring to is pornography.  This easily accessible monster has ruined the relationships of many marriages, and I will be honest in sharing with you that it has taken its toll on mine.  My husband and I were first introduced to pornography during childhood, one of the deceitful tactics of the industry and the enemy I’m sure.

It Is Worth Forgiving Your Husband

It Is Worth Forgiving Your Husband sex intimacy in marriage pornography Forgiveness betrayal Unveiled WifeI am honored to share with you a guest article today from my friend Jennifer.  She has been an integral part of the Unveiled Wife Community since its beginning just over a year ago.  She has personally encouraged me in many ways and I am blessed by her friendship and support.  This article is her testimony of choosing to forgive her husband, despite betrayal, hurt, and pain.  I appreciate the courage she had to share this part of her marriage with all of us and I think many wives can relate to the topic.  Please leave Jen a comment, letting her know how her words impacted you.  You can also connect with her on Twitter or on the UW Forum!

Jennifer writes:

One year exactly from our first date, I said “I do” to the man who I knew as a boy when we were growing up to the man he was. We were in love and full of hope for our future. I thought I knew what it was to be a wife at 22 and he was such an easy man to love. In a word, I thought he was perfect.

Fast forward 4 years later, and I felt my world was falling apart all around me. My husband, Matt, and I were struggling (I think it was money issues) and I knew something else was not right and after a lot of persistence, he finally confessed that he had been looking at images of lingerie models online. I knew he had struggled in the past with this, but had told me he was no longer looking at images online. I was shocked, angry, and hurt. I wanted to leave and thought that God would allow it because Matthew 5:27-28 says that he had committed adultery. Read Full Article

Prayer Of The Day – Breaking The Addiction Of Porn

Dear Lord,

We pray for husbands or wives who struggle with an addiction to pornography.  May your Holy Spirit manifest and give them the strength and self-control to resist and flee temptation.  Let your power break the hold that the enemy has on them.  Fix their eyes on you O Lord!  Help heal the hurt, the guilt, and the pain that porn addiction causes.  We also pray for the young men and women in the pornography industry.  May you rescue them, may you heal them, may you restore them.  Bring them out of the darkness they are trapped in.  Open their eyes and enlighten them on the oppressive industry they are contributing to.  Protect the ones that are helpless, hopeless, and alone.  Bring your restoration Lord in Jesus name we pray AMEN!
