Now, please tell us about your situation and why you have come to us for help and what has your husband/partner said are the main issues or problems he has with you and your relationship?
My Husband & I continue to fight over intimacy. He wants it a lot more than me & because we have 5 kids & my youngest is only 11 months old it’s difficult to get uninterrupted time. He has said that he feels very hurt & unimportant when I just go to sleep & ignore that he wants to be together. My Husband is a diabetic & has had some issues that have really made things even harder when we do find the time, then it wouldn’t work out, he would get frustrated & angry & I have said some hurtful things & been rude & impatient at times. This has really become a huge problem to the point we are fighting about it almost daily & I am feeling disgusted & emotionally worn out.
Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him.
Dear Lord,
I know in my heart you have a plan for my life & a plan to restore my marriage & mature me in the process. I know I have to learn to be a more patient, kind & loving person & be able to handle things better than I have been. I ask that you help me to fully surrender & let your Holy Spirit rise up strong in me & lead me & help me to control my negative thoughts & emotions. I confess I have been impatient, rude & hurtful to my Husband & I want to do better but I feel so much pressure on me as a mother & wife & like I am running myself ragged & need a break & then my Husband wants intimacy, so I do what he wants, something goes wrong, the baby wakes up, or my husband has issues & then it becomes a fight & I feel that it is out of my control & continues to happen over & over & I am feeling very defeated, I have a mean spirit & I just confess all of it Lord & I ask forgiveness for my fleshy ways & ask you to pour your spirit into me & give me the strength & love & patience I need to care for my family that I love so much. I’m tired of losing my temper and feeling guilty. Help me change, In Jesus name

  1. Dear bride,
    I experienced a similar situation when I was married. My EH wanted a lot of private moments more than me. Because I was busy with the children, work, home and I had just given birth. I was so ignorant at that time because the word of God says: “For the husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. Christ is the Savior of the Church which is his body.”
    Ephesians 5:23 PDV2017
    https://bible.com/bible/133/eph.5.23.PDV2017
    Segond Bible
    Do not deprive yourselves of one another, except by mutual agreement for a time, in order to attend to prayer; then return together, lest Satan tempt you with your incontinence. 1 Corinthians 7:5. This is exactly what happened to me, the enemy used the lack of intimacy to destroy my marriage. I would like to encourage you to read this book: https://hopeatlast.com/c3/ He revealed to me the principles of speaking about building your house.
    A wise woman builds her house but a fool destroys it with his own hands Therefore everyone who hears these Words of Mine, and acts upon them,
    may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
    and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall,
    for it had been founded upon the rock.”
    Matt. 7:24-25.
    Be strong

    Dear bride,
    J’ai vĂ©cu une situation similaire lorsque j’étais mariĂ©e. Mon EH dĂ©sirait beaucoup de moments d’intimitĂ© plus que moi. Car j’étais occupĂ©e avec les enfants, le travail, la maison et je venais d’accoucher. Jetais tellement ignorante Ă  ce moment lĂ  car la parole de Dieu dit: «En effet, le mari est le chef de sa femme, comme le Christ est le chef de l’Église. Le Christ est le Sauveur de l’Église qui est son corps.»
    ‭‭ÉphĂ©siens‬ ‭5:23‬ ‭PDV2017‬‬
    https://bible.com/bible/133/eph.5.23.PDV2017
    Segond Bible
    Ne vous privez point l’un de l’autre, si ce n’est d’un commun accord pour un temps, afin de vaquer Ă  la priĂšre; puis retournez ensemble, de peur que Satan ne vous tente par votre incontinence. 1 corinthiens 7:5. C’est exactement ce qui m’est arrivĂ©, l’ennemi a utilisĂ© l’absence d’intimitĂ© pour dĂ©truire mon mariage. J’aimerais t’encourager Ă  lire ce livre: https://hopeatlast.com/c3/ Il ma rĂ©vĂšle les principes de la parole sur la construction de sa maison.
    La femme sage bĂątit sa maison mais l’insensĂ© la dĂ©truit de ses propres mains Therefore everyone who hears these Words of Mine, and acts upon them,
    may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
    and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall,
    for it had been founded upon the rock.”
    Matt. 7:24-25.

  2. I have felt most of the emotions you have mentioned. I once was tired, disgusted, using it as an ultimatum. I once told him I wasn’t being intimate anymore until he changed his ways. (about 6 months later we had a huge argument and he left, which pushed him into the arms of the OW). While the Lord took my husband away for a few months, the closer and more intimate I got to the Lord, He began to soften my heart and give me that loving feeling back for my eh. I encourage you to make time for the Lord everyday, read His Word and if you haven’t already started please do the courses and journal, as they will help renew your mind. https://hopeatlast.com/c1/
    It’s understandable that you’re feeling sad and hopeless. But I want to encourage you to keep praying to the Lord and to never give up hope. He loves you and wants what’s best for you. I know it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now, but I promise you that it’s there. He will see you through this.
    He knows what you’re going through and He’s working all things together for your good.
    This is an opportunity for you to grow closer to Him. It’s a chance for you to learn more about His love and faithfulness.

    By reminding myself of this verse below, it helps serve as a compass, guiding my actions and intentions towards a more understanding way of being towards my husband “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1Co13:4-8

  3. Dear Bride, I went through a similar stage as well, especially after giving birth. I thought I was justified in my resistance because the all the changes I went through but that is far from truth. Please consider journaling this lesson –
    https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d8-married/intimacy-while-still-married/
    The restoration book has taught us to stop all arguments. “Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.” Proversb 17:14 I know it’s not easy but remember “Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.” Matthew 5:25
    Seek the Lord with all your heart because He has all the answers!
