Revive Your Sex Life In Marriage

2012-09-30

This series began with Revive Your Prayers In Marriage, then we encouraged wives to Revive Your Attitude, Revive Your Friendship, and Revive Your Praise… now we are wrapping up with this post Revive Your Sex Life In Marriage! Sex and Intimacy in marriage have always been a struggle for me. I feel inadequate trying to inspire others in this area when it has been such a sensitive area in my own marriage, yet I have a story… one that I hope will at least encourage those of you who for some reason struggle in this area of marriage. My message to you is that you are not alone! The pain that is sometimes encountered during sexual intimacy, whether it is emotional pain or physical pain, can affect the

Revive Your Praise In Marriage

“Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” – Ephesians 5:33 I believe that this verse is very specific in directing husbands and wives to respond to each other’s greatest needs.

So far we have encouraged you all to Revive Your Prayers In Marriage and Revive Your Attitude In Marriage! This week we are encouraging you to Revive Your Friendship In Marriage!

As a husband and wife are transparent with each other, talk about their feelings, lean on one another for support, enjoy activities together, and express dreams and desires for their future, their friendship deepens. However, if a couple is not willing to invest emotional energy into their marriage, there is risk of one or both of them building strong friendships elsewhere,

Revive Your Attitude In Marriage

Last week we encouraged you to Revive Your Prayers In Marriage! This week we are encouraging you to Revive Your Attitude In Marriage! Attitude is a way of thinking and it’s reflected through behavior. It is what determines how we respond to people or situations. Because attitude stems from perspective, it can quickly change.

Also See: (The blog I mention in the video) Are Finances Stealing Your Joy? Factors that can influence or alter one’s attitude can be great or small. It really depends on the person’s perspective.

I heard a story recently of a couple who were married for 26 years, had such a tough time they followed through with a divorce, but then reconciled shortly after and remarried!
