However, I also think that it is important for our husbands to be in tune to our needs - if we are too tired, aren't feeling well, or really aren't that into it. I've found that a double standard seems to exist regarding this topic - if your husband is in the mood, it is your wifely duty to supply his needs; I've never seen this statement in regards to men and their needs. I am not anti-sex nor do I have any issues regarding sexual relations - those with my husband are wonderful. But I do think that if he or I just aren't up to it, it is both of our duties to understand that and wait for a better time.<br /><br />xo ErinErin Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740698417495064304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778851601993894910.post-70089711964789874962010-07-29T04:48:54.403-07:002010-07-29T04:48:54.403-07:00I agree that sexual intimacy is so important to a ...I agree that sexual intimacy is so important to a healthy marriage. When my husband and I go for a long time without connecting in that way, we feel disconnected in so many other areas as well.<br /><br />That being said, having 4 little boys ages 7 and under leaves me exhausted and with little left for my husband. At the end of the day I crave quiet, peace, and time to myself and a little time when I'm not being touched.<br /><br />It is really, really hard to set aside myself for the sake of my husband's needs. And then, I start to have this inner dialogue (and I admit I let resentment creep in) - 'What has he done for me?' 'When's the last time he has sacrificed something he wants for something I want?' 'Why is it always the wife who is supposed to do the sacrificing?' And on and on.<br /><br />I know those thoughts are not from God. But, it is so hard to shed this human skin.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772596888093079960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778851601993894910.post-25210749009824969752010-07-28T18:28:24.739-07:002010-07-28T18:28:24.739-07:00I think that for both men and women connection thr...I think that for both men and women connection through the intimacy of sex is very important. It is an intimate act and without it a marriage is just a friendship, which can be wonderful but is not really a man and wife relationship then. I think it enables so very much within a marriage, fostering that special closeness.

I find that my husband and I are on the same track (in all ways) when his (and my) sexual needs are being met. That builds our intimacy in so many different ways. We just connect better!Lisa♥Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020819295894740895noreply@blogger.com
