a daily reminder to grow your marriage
Make this the year of a lot of skin on skin.
Please understand that I live in Washington state where temperatures can fall into the negative teens (Fahrenheit). If I can make naked happen here in the land of brrrr, anyone can.
Sleep naked. (OK, you can wear socks.) Put a small heater in your bedroom. Make Sunday afternoon nap time (put a lock on your door if you have kids). Play strip poker (or whatever) on your private monthly game night. Take a shower together on the weekends.
Look for opportunities to wear nothing and give yourself and your man the gift of skin on skin.
And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25 ESV

I am not a Puritan,
and I am not a prude,
but one thing is for certain,
no-one shall see me nude.
It’s not that I am now ashamed
of what I have become,
but really, I am kind of drained,
and really kind of numb
to see the tumours growing
(some cast shadows all their own),
and see in this the knowing
that soon I’ll be called Home.
When full-dressed, I can pretend
that this life will never end.
Thanks for the simple reminder. I need to do better with being intentional with my marriage.
Intent is good, but follow-through is where it happens. I think that’s where my heart is this year. How can I practically walk out what I know needs doin’.
Thanks for sharing the link to my blog post!
Always glad to point to good resources. :)
Happy Nude Year. Not DH favorite. A little clothing with easy access is what He likes for sure. Hide some of the assets and add the thrill of exploring. Just my snap front gown, my black gown with stockings, and the list goes on. Nude is cool but here the veiled seeing with easy access is a real head turner for the DH. Plus along the way I might get ravished and that sounds great. Play time for sure.
It pays to be a student of your spouse and know what they like. We’re all a little different. :)
Thank you. Yeppers for sure.
Lol. Honestly, I wish that would happen. My wife still covers up when I’m around, or when I walk in if she’s changing. We’ve been married since 2000. My wife has a lot of issues regarding sex. It’s not because she doesn’t think I don’t think she’s attractive. She tells me I make her feel beautiful. She is to me. Oh well, I can hope.
I hope this doesn’t sound terribly trite, but, seriously, pray about it. God can touch someone’s heart and mind in a way we cannot. Keep telling her she is beautiful and let God lead her gently.
