This is the third in a series that I call The Three Loves. In the first we discussed Fence Love, a love that protects marital intimacy. In the second we talked about friendship in marriage. In this article we will think about sexual love in marriage.
For married couples, sex can be either great or a great challenge. Take a moment to read some actual comments we have received from husbands and wives who have attended our seminars:
- We've been married only a year and my husband hasn't touched me in months! I want his affection; I want to make love to the man I married.” (from a Chinese Malaysian wife)
- “Asian Women! They are so cold and uninterested in sex.” (from a Chinese Malaysian husband)
- “We're just too busy, too tired, and have too many responsibilities. By the end of the day there's just no energy . . . and not much desire!”
- “My wife was very responsive before we had children, but now it seems they are more important than I am. We seldom have sex, and when we do we just can't seem to enjoy it.
