Day 32 – Love meets sexual needs

The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. — 1 Corinthians 7:3

Today’s Dare

If at all possible, try to initiate sex with your husband or wife today. Do this in a way that honors what your spouse has told you (or implied to you) about what they need from you sexually. Ask God to make this enjoyable for both of you as well as a path to greater intimacy.

Was this a satisfying experience for you? If it didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped, what do you think is complicating matters? Have you committed this to prayer? If it was a true blessing for both of you, what can you learn from this for the future?

    Dear Joanne, I can relate to you sister!!! I too am doing this on my own and had the same kind of thing happen to me. My husband is very negative and defensive and it is hard to ask questions about our relationship without him being so. We’ve had a bad weekend and did not handle a very stressful situation very well. Today’s challenge seems impossible right now as we are barely talking. I ask the Lord for both of us to be responsive to His Word. We’re almost there!!!

    Oh Lynn , my heart cries when I read your note. I too am doing this alone and have skipped some of those conversation ones — others have worked ok. (I am a bit behind – only on day 28 and after reading comments I am afraid to try day 30) Things have been going very well for a bit now, I don;t want to reck anything.
    — well can I share what my sister says to me when my hubby and I have hard times? — I don’t want to be preachy – but I am working on her advice ) OK here it is – Try to let Jesus be your everything today – your peace – your joy – and your hubby. ITs so so so hard because I want something tangible that I can touch and well you know. I am stuggling to follow her advice but I am trying.
    We will make it — We will have awsome marriages to the man we have now some day – and Lord please some day soon.

    I was thinking its hard to think about todays love dare when most of what comes out of my husbands mouth are uncaring and anger. I do not think he would even want to even try todays love dare, things are not so great now. Sue
