From the Bible Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well. Psalm 139:14 (HCSB) I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 (the verse J couldn't think of in the moment!) "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm— my great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed." Joel 2:25–26 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

Let's talk about what it means, why it happens, and how to grow closer through it. Sign up for our new masterclass today! Sexual Desire Differences - Sex Chat for Christian Wives From the Bible You say, 'I have the right to do anything.' But not everything is helpful. Again you say, 'I have the right to do anything.' But not everything builds us up." 1 Corinthians 10:23 (NLT) Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18 "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36–37 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. James 3:9–10 "I have the right to do anything," you say—but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"—but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 Resources For Christian Wives Facebook Page Strong Wives Facebook Page Strong Wives Instagram Page Honeycomb & Spice Facebook Page Hot, Holy & Humorous Facebook Page Hot, Holy & Humorous Instagram Page Do You Check Your Phone During Sex? - Hot, Holy & Humorous Get Off Your Screen & Have Sex with Your Wife - Hot, Holy & Humorous (written for husbands, but we wives could learn a thing or two here as well!)
