Purity Precedes Pleasure
Dear Sarah,
Your Excellent Wife book will go out this week.
I understand the struggle; but it is Biblical for us to be sexually available to our spouses so as not to allow the Evil One a foothold in our marriages (see 1 Corinthians 7:1-5; especially verse 5). However, if your husband takes (is taking) this The Way of Purity study then he will learn that no matter what (whether you are available to him or not) sexual impurity is NEVER a choice. It is not a "if you don't give it to me then I'll do porn, etc" kind of deal any more.
I think that you will see that as the purity comes in the marriage so will the pleasure. My heart ached for you as I read that you were considering sexual intimacy a punishment. This was definitely not what God created sexual intimacy for; I'll be praying for you that God will restore to you the joy and the years that sin has taken from you.
grace and love to you,
Jody
