Christian Sexuality: Overcoming 7 Barriers to Fulfillment in Marriage
Are you and your spouse, as a Christian couple, finding your sexual relationship lacking? Discover seven barriers that may be hindering your intimacy and learn how to cultivate a fulfilling Christian sexuality.
Understanding God's Perspective on Sex
Many Christian couples have not yet tapped into the fulfillment that married sexuality can offer. Recognizing its importance is crucial for a thriving Christian marriage. Here are seven barriers that might be affecting your intimate life:
1. Insufficient Knowledge of God’s Perspective
The Bible begins with God’s command to be fruitful, emphasizing sex as a positive act (Genesis 1:27-28). It was so important that God deemed it “good” (Genesis 1:31). Recognizing sex as a divine gift can help shift your perspective from mere obligation.
2. Lack of Communication with Your Spouse
Open dialogue about sexuality and preferences fosters intimacy. Sharing desires, frequency, and timing can enhance emotional bonds. Start by discussing what lovemaking means to each of you and how it fits into your relationship.
3. Viewing Sex as an Obligation
Sex isn't just for procreation. The Song of Solomon celebrates enjoyment in intimacy. Explore different positions and locations with mutual consent. Remember, as 1 Corinthians 7:4 suggests, this should be an equal, respectful partnership, not one where a spouse feels pressured.
4. Failure to Prioritize Intimacy
Spontaneity might be romanticized, but planning is essential. Scheduling time for intimacy ensures that both partners' needs are considered, reducing frustration and creating anticipation for quality time together.
5. Using Intimacy as a Bargaining Tool
Avoid making lovemaking a reward or punishment. Conditional intimacy undermines its meaning. Express gratitude and resolve conflicts outside the bedroom to maintain a pure and loving connection.
6. Unresolved Issues from Past Abuse
Past sexual abuse can profoundly impact marital intimacy. It’s crucial to seek professional counseling to address and heal these wounds. Remember, there is hope and healing beyond survival.
7. The Impact of Pornography
Pornography is destructive to healthy intimacy, even in Christian marriages. It creates unrealistic expectations and prioritizes physicality over genuine connection. Seek counseling to rebuild the bond if pornography has damaged your relationship.
Understanding and embracing healthy Christian sexuality is essential. God intended sex as a cherished gift within marriage, not something to be ignored or misused. In today’s culture, which often distorts the view of intimacy, let’s strive to redefine and enrich our marriages with fulfilling Christian sexuality.
