About this episode

This episode offers encouragement for couples facing challenges in intimacy, emphasizing that they are not alone and that healing is possible.

Maybe intimacy in your marriage doesn't look the way you thought it would. Maybe there are physical limitations. Health challenges. Pain. Insecurity. Lack of desire. Aging. Shame. Or just a deep sadness that things don't feel the way they "should." And maybe, quietly, you've wondered: Is something wrong with me? Is something wrong with us? Are we just broken? This episode is for the husband or wife who feels discouraged, different, or alone in this area of marriage. Let this be an encouragement that intimacy is more than what we often make it out to be. It is about unity. Tenderness. Connection. Loving your spouse well in the ways you are able. If you feel unseen or forgotten by God in this area, this is a reminder that God sees you. You are not forgotten. You are not beyond hope. And you are not strange or weird for wanting help in this area. This may be a real suffering in your marriage—but suffering is not proof that God has abandoned you. He can use even this tender, painful place to grow humility, love, compassion, and deeper unity. God bless you! Love, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you're ready to take the next step in healing your marriage, schedule a free Clarity…
