There is something so life-affirming about making love. I don’t just mean in a procreative “let’s make a baby” kind of way, either. The experience of sharing our bodies with each other is connecting and unitive. When we are making love, I am more aware than at any other time that I am connected to something greater than myself. I am part of this mystery we call marriage. I am part of God’s plan for His people.
My husband’s grandmother passed away late last year. After we got the call, we fell into bed in each other’s arms. During this sad time, we were able to reaffirm our connection with each other and feel great comfort.
I think about how much lonelier our grieving would have been had we not had the comfort of each other. Our grief was shared in a way that had not happened before.
My prayer for all experiencing loss is that they have someone with whom to share their grief, find comfort, and affirm their life together.
I've moved! While you can peruse the archives here, I am no longer posting at The Forgiven Wife.
Please join me at Honeycomb & Spice.
Ladies, if you're interested in joining me for a study of Juli Slattery's new book God, Sex, and Your Marriage, time is running out! Our study begins with introductions on February 26, 2023, but the study will be open to join until March 5.
A little nugget from 1 Chron. 7:20-23 might be an example.
