Have you ever felt like your intimacy was just a duty that needed to be marked off the "to-do" list? What about that sex was great physically but emotionally it was empty? Or, have you gone to bed wondering why this amazing, God-given thing is causing so much strife in your marriage? Kyle & Ali were both there at one point in their marriage… Ali saw sex as a "thing" that was constantly there pestering her. She was intimate with her husband to please him and only him. Their children noticed that their marriage was suffering. They were not emotionally connected, so they were not acting as a team. They communicated solely to run their family. But then... They took a leap of faith and joined the Delight Your Marriage men's program and women's program! Now Ali loves communication and their home is a "peaceful and cozy environment." The pressure is gone and she feels the freedom to initiate. Intimacy is a priority now and not just another chore to be done. In fact, she shares,s, "I desire sex now! I didn't think I'd ever say that." Kye hated that his wife did not seem to desire him or intimacy at all. He spent a lot of time discouraged so he struggled to be fully present as a husband, father, or friend. He did not understand why this God-given thing was causing so much stress in his marriage. He wanted to enjoy intimacy and for Ali to actually desire it. After their Delight Your Marriage programs, they both discovered the missing link to their chain. Kyle described their intimacy as being a 10 out of 10 now! He began loving his wife the way Christ loves the church in practical ways and now intimacy is no longer a duty, but instead, it's full of mutual service and love. To hear the way God is truly using these programs to transform lives is such a testament to His goodness and faithfulness. Be sure to join in; you don't want to miss it!
