The Sexually Unavailable Wife
Posted on Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Hey all… my friend Eric over at www.BetterHusbandsAndFathers.com recently allowed me to guest post on his blog. Eric is doing a tremendous job of encouraging men on specific ways they can strengthen their marriages.
THANK YOU Eric! We need more voices like yours. Anyway, he let me do a little rambling on The Sexually Unavailable Wife. Take a ponder. Add your comments. Keep the dialogue going on this one. We value your opinions! I’d love to hear from husbands and wives on what happens when a wife is sexually unavailble. (BTW, I know that the reverse sometimes happens too… a husband who is sexually unavailable. I will write about that soon too).

Not to take puritans off the hook, but I actually wonder if Hollywood is partially responsible for this. Hollywood CONSTANTLY projects the message onto people that hot sweaty nasty sex is for single people, and married people have boring, perfunctory, obligatory sex.
People are not rational machines. We absorb things and internalize them without thinking.
Thanks for the comment Michael. I agree with you wholeheartedly that media/Hollywood project the message that the best sex is outside of marriage. What a screwed up message (no pun intended).
Marital sex is often material for comedy… rarely is there the tone that sex within marriage can be great (the only exception I’ve come across on this is the movie RV, where there is definitely the message that the married couple enjoys their sexuality).
There is so much irony in the rationale that “casual single sex is best” and “married sex is boring.” As a married woman who loves the Lord and loves sex, I am grieved by the lies of satan that have infiltrated so many hearts.
And you are spot on that we “absorb things and internalize them without thinking.” Sad but true that so many Christians (individually and collectively) have allowed the influence of society to cause them to lose sight of the biblical truth that God designed sexual intimacy in marriage with tremendous room for creativity, passion and indescribable pleasure. He is, after all, the creator of orgasm. Do we really think he came up with that on a whim.
Thanks again for the comment!
