When we were first married it really ground my mental gears to get up from praying together and move right into having sex. These days I have no issues praying very specifically about sex. Asking God to help our upcoming time together to go really well, for our bodies to perform and respond well, help me to do the right things to really pleasure her etc.

Wow, that was lovely. Thanks for sharing! I pray that He will show up mightily in your marriage and your marriage bed.

My prayer life has amped up since my husband and I have had our first child! The challenges have been numerous and my prayer life has blossomed. About three weeks ago I decided that I would heed God’s word and pray about everything…including my sex life. It felt so strange because I felt that God and sex don’t even belong in the same sentence, but I decided to challenge my view and see what God has to offer. When I saw your last few articles I felt that God was confirming that I was on the right path. I am praying that He will honor His promise from Isaiah 43:19 NKJ concerning my sex life (I’m still rolling my eyes and chuckling as I feel quite sheepish).
” Behold, I will do a new thing: Now it shall spring forth, I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the dessert.”
I’m praying for that…
Thank you for listening to God and writing about prayer regarding intimacy.

For a long time, my husband’s drive was lower than mine. It still is, but I’m dealing with it better. For the longest time I took it very personally and it made me feel worthless. I felt if I wasn’t worth making love to, I certainly wasn’t worth praying about it! I have a hard time praying for myself. It feels very selfish – kind of like a spoiled child begging a parent for what they want. I know this is a wrong way of thinking, and I’m working to change this.

It does feel a bit odd, but it really does help!
I am looking forward to reading more of your thoughts on prayer and marriage throughout 2017.

As simple as saying ‘thank you’ or as complex as lectio divina, whatever type of prayer we choose should help us to be aware of God in every moment of our lives. I strive for it, but, of course, I fail! It’s our effort that counts, more than our success, I think.

When we were first married our love life was great, but then things changed in our lives and so did our love making. It was like it just dried up. Being a man I didn’t know what to do. The Doctors she went to couldn’t help either. So I have been praying for our love for around fifteen years now. It hasn’t helped in our love making, because she has no interest in it, but we are still married and that I thank God and pray for that. I keep praying and hoping that God will answer my pray.

This is a concept many miss – we can’t on one hand, talk about how God created sex for marriages, and then on the other hand, not pray about it. Thank you.
