3 Signs that Your Marriage is Stuck on AUTO-PILOT, and How to Break this Negative Cycle

3.  You and your spouse haven’t had sex in a month (and you don’t have a medical reason not to do so).  

Sex isn’t EVERYTHING until we stop having it.  When we are regularly communicating with each other, dating one another, and treating each other with love and respect, then sex is a natural, physical outpouring of love that we can give each other.  It is essential in marriage.  When we withhold this from each other, we are greatly damaging our marriages and harming ourselves as well.

Whenever Dave and I are counseling a couple who is visibly annoyed with one another, nine times out of ten, they haven’t had sex in a LONG time.  The look on their faces is lifeless with fake smiles hiding the anger and resentment they harbor inside.  Unless they turn things around quickly, a couple cannot exist like this for long.

We must aim higher.  We can’t settle for EXISTING.

Wives, if you are struggling in this area and currently see sex as just another thing on your to-do list, you are not alone.  I’ve been there too.  But, please read THIS.

Husbands, if you are struggling in this area, please read THIS.

If you think you and your spouse currently stuck on auto-pilot, please know that you don’t have to remain this way.

You can have the enjoyable, thriving marriage that you desire.  There are a couple key actions that you can take today:

I encourage you to take time each and every night to talk to each other…not about business, but about your day, your lives, your dreams.  Then, I urge you to pray together before you go to bed each night.  Try this practice for a month, and you will be amazed at the life that God will infuse into your marriage.
