A Lifetime of Awesome Sex in Marriage Pt. 1
After a four week “Dispatch” break, is there a better topic to come back with? Over the next few weeks, we will look at how to create a lifetime of awesome sex in your marriage. We all want great sex in our marriage relationships.
For many couples sex starts out as a home run. Some couples have a lot of home runs but over time, life gets complicated. Work, kids and all kinds of things take our time and energy. Far too often, sex gets put on the back burner. It’s not like the burner is out. The fire is still there, but the setting is on simmer instead of high.
Then there are our expectations. Going into marriage, we can have high expectations for sex to bring us a lot of fulfillment. We see it portrayed in the media, movies, TV, streaming, and more. It dominates the covers of magazines and unfolds in the pages of books. Self-proclaimed experts act like they have it all together in this area offering their words of “wisdom.”
With all of this, we can think that a good sexual relationship in marriage will be a slam dunk. But it’s not. Couples struggle. When we struggle, most of us have no idea how to get back on the right track, let alone build something better. I believe God’s plan for sex was designed for marriage and that it can be great for a lifetime.
Sex is a gift from God. He created the sexual relationship. He is the one who made our bodies to fit perfectly together. We are going to look at what works and what does not. We will talk about frequency, quality, and hurdles to overcome. I want you to think about sex together, talk about sex together and have the sexual relationship in marriage that God designed for you.
