7 Truths of Marriage: Bringing Sexy BackSample

Sexy Differences

Bless the Lord,0 my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord,0 my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Psalm 103:1-2

It’s funny how we spend so much time wondering if we’re compatible at the beginning and the rest of our relationship pointing out how polar opposite we actually are. That doesn’t mean your marriage is doomed. It simply means your marriage is the way God designed it. The unique differences God gave us create a connection to each other. Ever tried to plug an outlet into an outlet?

While those differences make for a sexy exploration of our various interests, they can also cause a bit of tension. Instead of pointing to variations as distractions, try celebrating them. God intentionally created man and woman physically differently, which hasn’t seemed to be an issue when it comes to bridging sexy differences. The problems usually arise when the differences are of opinion.

Be respectful of how your spouse thinks, feels, and responds to situations that don’t mirror yours. You are wonderfully crafted individuals, and any effort to suppress the other can become dominating and oppressing. Seek opportunities for encouraging the differences and discover how sexy differences can be.

TRUE TALK:

Create the time to talk about tension points in your marriage caused by differences of perspective. Make sure neither suppresses the other’s voice as it’s easy to see different as divided.
