A Ministry for Husbands

KHS Ministry provides information, insight, and support for Christian husbands who want to pursue deeper sexual intimacy with their wives.

Why this blog?

The mission of The Forgiven Wife is to encourage Christian wives as they work to grow in their approach to sexual intimacy in their marriages. After 20 years of restricting the sex life in my marriage, I have learned to dance with desire and enjoy the full intimacy that comes with passionate and joyful sex with my husband. You can email me at chris@forgivenwife.com.
