I remember when we were doing premarital counseling and we were about to go through the program “Save Your Marriage Before it Starts” (SYMBIS) that is written by the authors of Love & Respect. As part of the course, we had to take a pre-test to see how well we knew each other, and one question that stood out to me was, “How high is your sex drive?”
To my amazement my wife’s sex drive was higher than mine. Today we have 3 children in 5 years, which is a blessing but it also hampers a women’s libido, due to hormone fluctuations while pregnant and breastfeeding.
I was talking with my wife about the topic of this DBO- how sex changes when your married a little while, and she said, “you are a man, deal with it!” I laughed because it was true, although I didn’t quite want to acknowledge the response. Todays tip is to realize that excitement in the bedroom will return, but in the meantime I will love my wife, date her, and pursue her interests.
Pursuit is one of those things men and women enjoy, it fires us up, it’s really part of the foreplay. You’d be amazed what a simple text can cause when you share in the middle of the day how you are thinking about her, how attractive you find her, and can’t wait to see and hold her when you get home.
Daily Battle Order:
Think about some of your assumptions of what love is supposed to be like in marriage. God is trying to teach each of us how to love with more passion, purity in our desires and appreciate each season of our lives.
