Do Not Separate
Dear Sarah,
We enjoyed having you and Len over on Sunday afternoon. It was a blessing to be able to share with you what God has done/is doing in our lives. We have great hope for you both that God is going to do great things with Len and you too.
I am sorry this lesson made you cry. It is a very sensitive subject; but also a very important one. As you can see from the Scriptures in the study, if we are not sexually intimate with our spouses then we give the Evil One a foothold in our lives. The only reason to separate is to spend concentrated time in prayer and in seeking the Lord and then it should only be for a short time and by mutual consent.
Your decreased desire for sex could be related to forgiveness but there might also be other factors as well. Let's work through it.
How are you physically? Are you suffering with any discomforts? Are you sleeping well?
When you think of sex what is the first thing that comes to mind?
How long has it been since you and Len were physically intimate? What is different now? (Think physical, emotional and spiritual.)
I'm sorry to play twenty questions with you, but I want to help and so I ask. I care about you, Sarah. My heart is so much for you, and I want you to experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from sexual intimacy in a pure marriage bed.
Communicate as able.
grace and love to you,
Jody
