Our Personal Struggle with Intimacy In Marriage

In this episode, we share our personal struggle with physical intimacy in the first 4 years of our marriage. We thought we had done everything right by saving our selves for marriage and believed God owned us a good healthy physical intimacy. But that was not how our marriage story began. In fact, we couldn't have intercourse for over 4 years. Listen and see how God used this trial to draw us closer to Himself and to each other. This part of our marriage story is also where our marriage ministry was born.

When you talked about The Lord Jesus praying in the garden I lost it & wept! My husband & I have been married 12 yrs. We have struggled with intimacy for many reasons & that's why I felt led to listen to this video. But just before I watched my husband & i had been arguing about submission & love in marriage, which has been an ongoing struggle. I sought the Lord in prayer & the Spirit reminded me of Jesus' prayer in the garden & how He begged for the cup to be taken from Him. He told His disciples that His soul was very sorrowful, even to death. It says He was in agony while He prayed so earnestly His sweat became like great drops of blood falling to the ground. Yet He submitted out of obedience & love to the will of God. He calls us to count the cost & take up our cross & follow Him. He calls us to suffer. Then He rewards us for it. He reminded me that His will for me is impossible for me, but not for Him through me. And He will reward me when I submit to Him in obedience.🙏❤️🙌 Thank you & praise the Lord Jesus! Your video was confirmation of the Spirit's reminder to me that I am His & what He has called me to.❤️

Me and my wife just got in a huge argument and intimacy was the reason and I prayed that God will help. I browse YouTube and I was hoping to see a video with these two and God did a miracle by them making this video. I will edit once I finished the video.

I’m so glad I found this. Not a lot Christians talk about these kind of topics, and it’s a shame. I’ve had similar issues w/ my husband, and I recently found out about pcos. I pray that it’s what’s going on w/ me too, and it’s not anything worse. Thank you for sharing your testimony and being so open about your struggles.

I’m sorry but through this testimony, you guys may have not only saved many marriages but maybe even LIVES. I pray that God would restore you to a place of love beyond what is even normal. A fire that would last a lifetime! God bless you❤️

I think a lot of couple nowadays struggle to distinguish between lust and love. Whereas lust is rooted in selfishness, love is founded in selflessness. Love motivates us to have deep feelings of compassion, empathy and emotional connection with those we care about. While lust, we neglect important relationships and abandon our own emotional and physical health because we are solely focused on satisfying our own cravings.
