Saving Yourself For Marriage, Even After You’re Married

A lot of people hear the saying “saving yourself for marriage” and immediately think of abstinence, but that’s not what I’m talking about today. In fact, I’m talking about having sex. Lots of sex. So be warned. If you don’t like to speak about apparently taboo subjects like sex then you’ll want to stop reading right now. If you’re uncomfortable discussing how to have a more enjoyable marital bedroom experience then shut this post down. But if you’d like to increase the happiness of your relationship and avoid common misconceptions about sex and marriage then please read on.

Today I want to encourage you to save yourself for marriage, but not just before you say “I do.” I’m talking about saving yourself for marriage even when you’re married. Especially when you’re married. Saving yourself for your marriage partner actually increases your sexual satisfaction in your relationship.

Are you faithful to your spouse?

Seems like a simple question, right?

Well, of course I am, Brie.

But are you?

What about when your spouse isn’t in the mood? How do you satisfy your sexual urges? A large and shockingly common amount of people will do the easiest and most frequently practiced thing. They will self-satisfy. Here it is; I’m gonna say it. They masturbate.

But it’s better than cheating, right?

Well, have you ever considered that masturbation in your marriage, apart from your spouse, could be considered a form of cheating? Crazy sounding, I know, but consider your thought processes. What you feed your mind is what comes out. So you might want to ask yourself a few questions.
