1. Part 1 of the this
multi-article special report simply asks married couples to reflect
on the greatness of God and how God created the entire world from
nothing. A marriage may be looking into an abyss, void of intimacy,
but The
God of New Beginnings provides incredible hope for sexless
marriages. Based on Christian principles, this first report sets the
tone for the entire series.
2. Many married couples entered marriage full of passion. Their love
and attraction for each other was never a question. So what happens
to cause the
downward
spiral in a sexless marriage and how is it recognized? A
marriage lacking can only recover once both partners realize they
are absent of physical connection and headed in the
wrong direction. Part 2 of this special report is a definite eye
opener.
3. Remember the last time you got a cough and then it turned
into chills? Next thing you know you had a headache too but you
continued to clock in like nothing was wrong. Maybe you didn't even
realize how really sick you were until you stopped, went to
the doctor, obtained a diagnosis, and he wrote a prescription. One
prescription for the passionless marriage may seem extreme for
some but requires discontinuing the rushed schedule and facing the
problem directly. In Part 3 of this special report, the author
shares one personal experience and some incredible insight into recovery
for the sex-starved marriage.
4. Real spiritual forces are at work in Christian
marriages today. Certainly sexual intimacy in marriage is a Biblical
requirement. In Part 4 you will understand
the
importance of sexual intimacy in marriage and how the enemy, the
prince of darkness, uses this powerful "covenant act" to separate
and divide married couples.
5. Connecting with your
spouse should be fun. Make plans to
kick
the tires and light the fires. As you go and as you kick the
intimacy into a regular thing, watch out as your marriage takes off
into orbit. The riding the bicycle rule sounds corny but it works.
6. The God ordained covenant connecting of husband and wife is a
spiritual thing. It is a physical act of love, passion, care,
and affection. Moreover, you can command blessings over your
marriage by speaking the right words. So
pray about all
aspects of your love life married people and watch God do
great things. You cannot and should not use intimidation tactics, or
guilt in trying to bring your spouse into physical relationship with
you. Love them into relationship with you and seek the giver
of life for your marriage.

NBC quiz to determine if you are in a sex starved marriage.
Reflect on your answers. There are no right or wrong
answers but a healthy marriage is affectionate, connects often,
and forgives quickly. Both the husband and the wife should
feel that their spouse finds them attractive and wants to be
with them.
