Be patient with your wife, encourage her, and delight in her always!
So guys, here’s the bottom line: if you explain to your wife that you turn away from those public images because you adore her, it will reassure her that you really do love her and find her beautiful. And once she’s reassured that you mean it when you say you love how she looks in all her glory, she’ll be a lot more comfortable about letting you see her. Trust me, it may take some time and some courage on her part (wives, we’ll be sharing with you soon about building that courage!)—so just keep telling her she’s beautiful. As she begins to understand just how much you delight in seeing her body, she may come to delight more and more in sharing her beautiful self with you.
