Week 4: Loving Your Husband Intimately

February 11, 2013

Second Chance to Dream: Week 4 Loving your Husband Intimately
Valentine’s Day is just 3 days away. Are you ready?  I’m excited!  Jim and I will be going to the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids, MI for his company convention, and it just so happens to be on the 13th and 14th.  A fancy hotel + great food for no expense to us = Awesome.   This week our  Marriage Challenge will focus on Loving your Husband Intimately.  This topic can be a source of great frustration for some couples as well as a source of great joy and excitement to others.  I hope your sexual relationship is one of joy and excitement.  My goal today is to share resources that will strengthen this area.
I signed up for Sharon Jaynes 14 Day Romance Your Husband’s emails and I thought day 10’s email communicated clearly about our “wifely duties”.  She used such a great illustration I wanted to share it with you.   Here is an excerpt from the email:

  A woman who fulfills her “wifely duties” out of obligation does not produce a sexually fulfilled husband. That would be like a husband handing his wife a dozen roses on their anniversary and saying, “I didn’t really want to get you these roses, seems like a waste of good money to me. But I read somewhere that I’m supposed to do something like this because it’s our anniversary. Hope you enjoy them.”

  Would you enjoy such a presentation? I’d throw those babies right in the trash with the potato peelings and coffee grounds. And yet, that’s how many women approach sex.

A man can tell when his wife is participating out of obligation and when she is enjoying loving her man. And even though he may feel some release when the song is sung with his obliging wife, he will still feel a hollow void in his heart of hearts.  

Let me share one of the secret desires that the survey respondents mentioned when I interviewed men for my book, Becoming the Woman of His Dreams. Men dream of having their wives initiate sex more often. Notice I said, more often. Some of you are trying to remember if you’ve ever initiated sex, so imagine the joy on his face when you try it the first time.

 But what will he think of me? you wonder. Will he think I’m a wanton sex crazed woman? He might hope that’s what you are, but he won’t think that. He might be utterly confused at your sudden desire, but one message will come across loud and clear. “She wants me! She wants me!”

You know what he’ll feel. He will feel like his dreams have come true.  I’m not suggesting that a man wants his wife to initiate sex every time. That isn’t the natural order of things.God created man to be the aggressor and woman to be the recipient. Even our bodies are crafted for such. Men are hunters and women are gatherers. But I can promise you that every man likes to feel hunted and captured by the woman of his dreams.  Source

I hope I’ve inspired you to work, grow, and enjoy your relationship in this area.  It is a gift from God.
