I get it because I used to feel the same way, and I have used those specific excuses many times. Over the years, I realized that I only felt that way because I was worrying way too much about what other people think. I also had a very unbalanced view of sex and affection, and I didn’t understand what amazing and enjoyable gifts they are meant to be in marriage.
Have you ever read Song of Solomon? Be prepared to blush. It paints a beautiful and sometimes rather vivid picture of a husband and wife intensely desiring each other. It’s not a hidden, dirty little secret; it is a clear expression of desire for physical intimacy that shows their deep love and committment for one another. I don’t recommend reading Song of Solomon to your kids at bedtime anyt time soon (unless you are prepared to answer A LOT of questions), but I do think it serves as a great reminder to us that we don’t need to act as if affection and sexual desire within our marriage is a shameful thing.
