- Can God possibly be interested in or even bless our marriage if one or both of us have been divorced and remarried? How much of your Bible study, Enhancing Your Marriage: A Women’s Bible Study can apply to those of us who are in remarriages?
- Does the Bible specifically prohibit anything between husband and wife?
- Having been taught that sex was to be saved for marriage, I was a virgin when I married. However, I’m still having trouble feeling free about enjoying my husband sexually. It’s still naughty in my mind even though I did everything right! How do I get over this hump?
- How about oral sex and anal intercourse? Does the Bible permit them?
- How about using other devices or “bedroom games”? My husband and I like to role play, but we don’t lose our identities as husband and wife in the process. We like both the fun and sensation. We thought it was OK as long as we mutually agree. Is it?
- How do I “switch gears” when my husband conveys sexual interest? Sometimes (often!) it’s hard for me to leave what I’m doing to refocus on having sex. I think I’m nice about it, but I’m sure it affects my husband when I put him off.
- How do you deal with the times when a husband wants sex rather than love making without feeling used?
- I am a fairly new Christian who was not raised in a Christian family. As I work my way through the Bible, I do have many questions. In Deuteronomy 5:9 I read, "The Lord your God is a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me". I don't know how to understand this. Am I going to be punished for the sins of my forefathers? And likewise my children’s children for the sins my husband or I did?
- I have been overwhelmed with the guilt I feel for not being the way God wants me to be. On the list of personal Canaanites (Lessons 3) I found "guilt". Is the guilt I'm feeling really bad? I think it is good to feel bad and guilty for falling short. I remember being told that acknowledgment of a problem is half way solving it. And unless I recognize it and feel remorse and guilt I am not admitting that I have a problem. Maybe I need the meaning of guilt as it is stated on that list.
- I know fantasizing is wrong. I don’t think about other men, but my mind wanders and I have battled this for years. I’m left feeling guilty after sex (I only do this when my husband is pleasing my body.) I have tried giving it to God, but then “slip back” again. What can I do?
- I’ve never experienced orgasm, except for clitoral stimulation. Will I ever be able to do so?
- If we have a new heart, why does God need to work His nature into it little by little as it says on page 46? Isn't our nature new too? I know we still walk in the old flesh patterns that we relied upon before Christ, but does that have anything to do with our hearts, especially our new ones?
- In Ephesians 5:21, Paul calls us to submit to one another out of reverence to Christ. Aren’t there times when my husband is supposed to submit to me, especially if I’m right?
- My husband wants me to initiate sex more, but I’m uncomfortable with that. What can I do?
- Our love life seems like an act, and afterward, he always wants to know how he did, which makes me feel like I’m grading him. How do I deal with this? Even though I’ve told him how I feel he continues to ask me anyway?
- Through years of marriage, my husband has said that he doesn’t want me to submit to him sexually when I don’t want to. How do I balance the knowledge that I need to be available and meet his needs even when I don’t feel like it—that he doesn’t want me to have sex out of a feeling of obligation?
- What about masturbation, especially during long separations?
- What about sex during my period? It was a sin in the Old Testament.
- What if a husband isn’t interested in sex or even attracted to his wife? What is she to do?
- What is a good way to get started with spicing up our sex life?
