Wives, Pleasure Is An Important Part of Life (Really!) If you're a wife who feels like physical intimacy just isn't for you... this post is for you. Maybe you've been hurt in the past. Maybe sex feels awkward, or painful, or even meaningless. Maybe it seems like something only he wants, and you just go along with it. If any of that resonates, I want you to know: you're not broken. You're not alone. And there is hope. When Sex Feels Disappointing or Painful in Marriage When I first got married, I was so excited. I had saved myself for marriage and imagined physical intimacy would be beautiful and bonding. But what I experienced instead was disappointment. It was physically painful, emotionally awkward, and deeply confusing. I felt ashamed, fat, insecure, and unprepared. My marriage at that time eventually ended in divorce. There was no biblical reason—I just couldn't take the strife and anxiety anymore. I was devastated. I had followed what I believed was the right path, and yet my marriage still crumbled. And then, I drifted. I walked away from God's design, from purity, and into promiscuity. But God is a Redeemer. In time, He gently brought me back. I met a kind, respectful man, and with him, God showed me what healthy, healing intimacy could look like. And it has been a journey—one filled with slow growth, freedom, and true pleasure. Understanding God's Design for Sexual Pleasure in Marriage Let's be honest—many wives could take or leave sex. Some even hate it. And yet, God designed physical intimacy to be good—not just for your husband, but for you. You may have grown up in purity culture, where sex was labeled “bad,” “shameful,” or “off-limits.” Then suddenly, you get married and are expected to flip a switch and enjoy it. That's confusing, to say the least! But what if we started thinking of pleasure the way God does? What if we saw it as a gift? You enjoy a clean house, right? You feel at peace, relaxed, energized. That's pleasure. So why is it so hard to believe that sexual pleasure could be just as valid, just as worthy, just as holy? Why Christian Wives Should Value Pleasure in Intimacy God didn't create intimacy only for reproduction or duty. He created it for joy, connection, healing, and pleasure. Even Song of Solomon celebrates sensuality—touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound. Pleasure is part of God's design. It doesn't have to end in orgasm or even intercourse to be sacred. A simple act like cuddling, stripping down just to rest in your husband's arms, or a gentle caress can be deeply meaningful. An moment where you focus on intimacy without the pressure of a “goal.” It's healing. It's freeing. How to Begin Enjoying Intimacy Again—Even If You Feel Broken You don't have to leap from disinterest to passion overnight. What if you started with just an inch in the direction of intimacy? A kiss. A caress. A flirty smile. That's it. Then maybe next time, a little more. Intimacy doesn't have to be all or nothing. It's a dance. A progression. A fluid rhythm between two people who are learning how to love and be loved. Biblical Boundaries for Sex—and the Freedom Within Them I've seen it time and again—wives who once hated sex now pursue it with confidence and joy. Not because they've become someone they're not, but because they've allowed God to rewrite their story. You don't have to live stuck in shame, apathy, or duty. You were made for more. You were made for joy. You were made to receive pleasure—and not just physical pleasure, but the peace and playfulness that come from deep connection. You can laugh, relax, and actually look forward to physical intimacy. Even if you're post-menopausal. Even if you've been through trauma. Even if you feel like you're the one who's “just not into it.” God can change it. He's done it in me. He's done it in hundreds of wives I've coached. And He can do it in you.   With love & hope,   The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - For more information on the Connection Sessions mentioned in the podcast, check out Delight Your Marriage: Connection Sessions.

PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "So much of my prayer time was trying to pray for my hubs and me and us in our marriage and lamenting over the state of our marriage...it was so hard for me to engage in intimacy with my husband...Most times I just had to turn off my heart and pray and power through, which only served to make me even more avoidant of it...[Now,] I don't feel like I need a brick wall to protect my heart from my husband...Intimacy feels like a safe place...It's not intimacy's 'for him', it's ALWAYS intimacy for 'us'."

Today, we sit down with Jinger Duggar Vuolo, author of "People Pleaser: Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations," to talk about her new book and how she put an end to her people-pleasing tendencies. We discuss how she broke out of legalism and learned the true gospel as she sought to glorify God with her life and how biblical modesty is the standard to which we should aspire. Jinger also tells us how her people-pleasing ultimately hurt her ability to be in community and gives other people-pleasers advice on how to stop focusing so much on the selfish need to belong and how to let others into their lives.

This video makes a case for biblical boundaries using Matthew 5:37 and explains how "no" can be a sentence.

What does the Bible tell us about applying boundaries and restrictions around media and internet-connected devices? More than you might think! Parents, if you cannot find a "WHY" you should enact limits and restrictions or you just don't know what to do...listen in!

This title was hard to come up with.   Essentially, I want you to have the tools and mindset to figure out how to set boundaries with yourself and with others when needed. Jesus was the servant of all.  He came to serve not to be served.  He was the most humble and meek.  And yet, Jesus set boundaries. A lot.  Here are a couple, but once you read this, you'll probably not be able to read a parable or look at the life of Jesus without noticing His leaning into boundaries over and over again.  Jesus disappointed people because his priority was God over people In Mark 1:35-39, Jesus wakes up early to pray, but his disciples come looking for him, saying that "everyone is looking for you." In Matthew 16:21-23,  Jesus tells his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes. Peter rebukes him, saying that this should never happen to him. Jesus responds by telling Peter that he is setting his mind on human things rather than God's things and calls him a hindrance. In Luke 14:25-33, Jesus sets the boundary of the cost of discipleship. He says anyone who wants to follow him, essentially compared to their love for Jesus, must hate their family and even their own life. They must carry their own cross, and give up all their possessions. If they're not willing to pay this price, they can't follow him. In John 2:13-17, Jesus clears the temple of the money changers and merchants, telling them to stop making his Father's house a marketplace. He shows anger and uses physical force to set this boundary. Jesus was the servant of all but did not allow anyone to trod on boundaries.  So, what if you are trodding on God's boundaries? What if your spouse wants to trod on the boundaries set by God? Sexual boundaries?  Disrespect boundaries?  Other boundaries? Should you set boundaries with yourself?  Should you set boundareis with your spouse? If so, how?  Is there a way to have a generous heart and a kind spirit and yet set a firm boundary?    This conversation goes into these things that are HARD to tease through.  I don't think I have it all right. This is a topic that I feel a bit reticent to release. And I think it will require prayer as you discern how it applies to you. And what your next steps are.   Love & Blessings, Belah   PS - Let us know if this topic spoke to you and if we can help, email us at belah at delightyourmarriage.com   PPS - Quote from a program graduate: “I have become a delighted, playful wife that enjoys and desires sex. My relationship to the Lord, my husband and our daughter has become more intimate.”

 Are you ready to set boundaries like a boss? Check out my online course….Boundaries with Toxic family. https://krisreece.com/biblical-boundaries-with-toxic-family/ Maybe you've just discovered that your manipulative friend isn't as sweet as she pretends to be. Or the guilt your mother has been laying on you isn't your biblical burden to bear.   You're probably here because you realize that ‘no' needs to become a more regular part of your vocabulary.  After all, every relationship—whether with a parent, pastor, partner, coworker, or friend—needs boundaries. They are what makes relationships healthy. Boundaries are limits we set with others to protect our relationships and ourselves. They're guidelines that we communicate to others regarding how we want to be treated.    Maybe you've just realized that you need to say no to certain people, or perhaps you've been avoiding setting limits for a while and it's finally catching up with you.  What do you say we make today the day you learn to speak your NO in love? In today's episode we're going to talk about 3 key principles and the 2 boundary barriers you'll need to avoid if you want to set guiltless boundaries. Let's dive in. Principle #1: Know thyselfHave you ever been given the advice to just be yourself? Great advice, but what do you do if you don't know who you are? If you don't know who you are and what you want, someone else will gladly define that for you.   To set rock-solid boundaries, you need a rock-solid identity. This may be the hardest step of all because many of us have formed our identities based upon the needs and expectations of others. But you, my friend are a unique creation. You were fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator of the Universe (Psalm 139:14). So how do you get to know you? There are 3 key areas I want you to identify.What's your temperament? Your temperament is your God given nature. We all have one, and we either operate in its strengths or weaknesses. My hope is that you will freely flow in all that God created you to be when you understand how God wired you. If you need help, grab my FREE What's My Temperament Guide to get you started. (link)What are your preferences? This includes your likes, dislikes, passions, annoyances, dreams and values. These are what make you different. (Yes, it's OK to differ from others.) What are your needs? You can't expect others to meet your needs until you know your needs, as mind reading is not a spiritual gift.Establishing boundaries and getting to know yourself can feel selfish first. But you won't be able to set healthy boundaries until you discover where the other person ends and you begin.  Principle #2: Own your stuffMost rookies to boundaries usually arrive at the desire to declare their ‘no' after a long time of abuse. While I have no doubt that people have taken advantage of you, putting yourself in the role of victim can feel like it absolves you of responsibility when the truth is, you had a part to play. Now would be the time to examine what part you played in the toxic tango.   Ask yourself, ‘Was there something I was getting from the relationship that I was unwilling to give up if needed? Did I believe that my behavior could change theirs? Why did I surrender my values for their approval?' Next you'll want to own your feelings. Examining what's in your heart is going to be crucial if you truly want to speak the truth in love. Luke 6:43-44 reminds us that out of the mouth the heart speaks. If you're harboring resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, victim mentality, or anything of the kind,&

In this episode, Silvia Mendez joins us to unpack the concept of boundaries through a biblical lens. Relationships are such a gift, but they can be sticky blessings to manage when they become entangled. Silvia shares phenomenal insight and many passages to help us identify unhealthy patterns and untrue narratives and encourages us to let God renew our minds for His glory and our ultimate good. About the Speaker:Silvia Mendez has been a grateful disciple for 33 years. She is the proud mother of two amazing adult children: Luis Jr. & Jennay. Silvia was happily married for 28 years to an incredible man of faith, Luis, who has now gone on to be with the Lord.  For three years Silvia has been adjusting to life as a widow, but she continues to work and serve as a women's ministry leader. Silvia loves learning new things every day and is deeply grateful to have the Lord walking beside her on this new chapter of her life. Episode Notes:Galatians 6:2-5: Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.Concepts and Material Inspired from: Spiritual Discovery by Jim & Virginia Lefler Distinguishing between loads and burdens in interpersonal relationships. Entangled Relationship: One or both parties have unhealthy patterns that lead to some type of disfunction or strife. Codependency defined in this lesson from Galatians 6: Carrying someone's load or giving someone else your load to carry. Burden is anything that makes a weight too heavy to carry on your own: physically, mentally or spiritually.Examples of Burdens we strive to help one another with:Need for guidance or encouragement Need for food or clothing (James 2:15-16) Loss of loved one (James 1:27) Sickness, Disease, trauma or other life crisis (Romans 12:10)Load comes from the Greek word for portion, used to describe a soldier's pack. Examples of Loads that we all are meant to carry ourselves: Working to provide for your necessities (plan, budget)Fulfilling responsibilities at work & at home (Col 3:23-24)Being accountable for your choices and decisions and owning the consequences. (Proverbs 19:3) Being responsible for your own emotions- including your own happiness. Being responsible for our sin and personal walks with God Satan plants lies and narratives that will tempt us to overstep healthy boundaries. Most of these are rooted in either:EntitlementFearShame Cool translation of James 1:27- “One of the purest and most undefiled demonstrations of the gospel is to move towards hard places and broken people, not away from them”What are the lies that I've bought into that God wants me to be free from?What is God's truth? What does HE say about me? Support the show

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to delve into a very colorful Old Testament story that illustrates the symbiotic relationship between blessing and boundaries. History proves over and over again that without the life-giving promises AND parameters of Scripture, we lose our bearings – ultimately our identity and our dignity. Now speaking of boundaries, because the historical context of the Biblical narrative we're going to peruse in this episode is spicy – it reads more like HBO than the Hallmark Channel - I want to encourage y'all to make sure there aren't any little ears listening along with you. Please make sure your kids, grandkids, neighbor's kids or pre-teen passersby are out of earshot, then grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're driving or arranging a charcuterie board, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Ally and me. Back Porth Theology is sponsored in part by the Tov for Women Event at Northern Seminary. Log onto CWLNorthern.com/events for more information.

An interview with Eric C. Smith, PhD Eric C. Smith, a scholar of biblical studies, uses an ancient gold glass as an example of why we should expand our concepts of what we call ‘biblical.' The Bible itself is an “assemblage” of people, history, geography, and oral traditions that contributed to the creation of some portion of the Bible. Objects of art depicting similar stories and events are also assemblages, in that the stories may have come from the same or similar sources.

In this episode, Author Cherith Peters speaks about her book, "Biblical Boundaries Workbook" and shares her story behind writing the book and how God healed her marriage. I read Cherith's book a few months ago and I contacted her and asked her to be on my podcast because the information God gave her to share in this book changed my way of thinking. May it change yours as well.

Heather Uhl // "The Relationship Series" // 4/30/2022

In this episode we discuss what it looks like (and doesn't look like) to set biblical boundaries in relationships. We dive into our relationships with our parents, our spouses, friendships, and relationships in the church. We cover what our ACTUAL duties are in each of these circumstances and give practical tips on boundary setting when lines are crossed. This is one you won't want to miss!

I'm currently experiencing a struggle with the tension of loving others while also setting boundaries for myself. I'm taking relationship boundaries now. It's hard for me to see at times that the two are not at odds. I'm learning that. I'm learning that boundaries are not only a positive for me but sometimes the most loving thing I can do!Boundaries, I've learned are really not about keeping others out as much as its about keeping myself in. My sense is that as Christians we have somehow adopted an idea that boundaries are inherently negative or that they are somehow sinful even. We read so many verses about love as it relates to sacrifice, being selfless, being cheerful givers but we skip over verses that teach us to practice discernment when it comes to our personal life.//If you would like to dive deeper into this, or other verses in the Bible, if you have a verse you would like to submit to have included in a future episode if have questions about the Bible that you would like answered in a bonus episode, or simply want to connect with me... text VERSED to 88474 or click hereAlso included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well. As always – ratings and reviews are massive! They really help others discover the podcast and ultimately help us improve VERSED. Thanks in advance for that

2 Corinthians 5:16-21

Derek and Jenni discuss the message, Biblical Boundaries, from the Sanctified series.

Message from the Sanctified series out of the Book of Exodus. (Exodus 20) 

#forparker #9 I Must Question & Listen #forparker By Louie Marsh, 3-1-2020   Slides end with Jesus asks Questions.   1) I must question MYSELF before anyone else.   47  And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Matthew 5:47 (ESV)   2) Don’t speak if you’re not committed to LISTENING.   19  Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; James 1:19 (ESV)   I listen with…           My Ears           My Eyes           My Mouth   Be willing and ready to ANSWER their questions too.   15  but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)   3) Questions to ask & answer. Should I SUFFER silence? 46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 (ESV)   What? Me WORRY?   27  And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28  And why are you anxious about clothing?...Matthew 6:27-28 (ESV)   26  If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Luke 12:26 (ESV)   Am I SPIRITUALLY Blind?   3  Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Matthew 7:3 (ESV)   17  And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18  Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? Mark 8:17-18 (ESV)   Do I have BIBLICAL Boundaries?   14  But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” Luke 12:14 (ESV)   22  Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” John 21:22 (ESV)   Is my Faith fully FUNCTIONAL?   28  When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Matthew 9:28 (ESV)   31  Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31 (ESV)   How’s my HEART?   6  When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” John 5:6 (ESV)   15  When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” John 21:15 (ESV)      

Boundaries are given to us by God so that we stay where He would have us to stay and do not go into harmful territory. We can see the benefit of having property boundaries so that we know where our property ends and where our neighbor's property begins.--It is paradoxical how individuals, families, and nations recognize this principle and yet how when the subject shifts to moral issues and God's commandments they do not want to hear about boundaries anymore. To the contrary, they talk about -freedom- from God's moral boundaries as found in His Law. One of the purposes of God's commandments is to set moral boundaries for all of us. The Law of God indeed no longer condemns us in Christ, but it is yet God's light to direct our paths.

#forparker #5 God Gives Us Biblical Boundaries By Louie Marsh, 2-2-2020   1) What’s A Boundary??   Boundaries are LINES I draw in my life that EXCLUDE some things from and INCLUDE  other things in, my life. 2) Boundaries are BIBLICAL God CREATES  Boundaries.   22  Do you not fear me? declares the LORD. Do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it. Jeremiah 5:22 (ESV)   25  The LORD tears down the house of the proud but maintains the widow’s boundaries. Proverbs 15:25 (ESV)   Wait! Those Scriptures refer to physical boundaries!! Right! God created the entire universe and puts limits on everything! These physical things are examples of those limits! There’s a place for everything in God’s Order – and everything has its place – gravity is a good example.   God COMMANDS boundaries.   23  Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)   26  Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (ESV)   The Lord wants us to place the boundaries in our lives that will protect our heart – guard that precious center of our being!           He also wants us to rule! We were made to do so under His Guidance. If your life is totally out of control – you are violating God’s Will!   God COMMUNICATES through boundaries.   2  Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3  For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4  But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5  For each will have to bear his own load. Galatians 6:2-5 (ESV)   Burden = “excessive burden, that crushes you; Load = old word for ship's cargo, your daily toil   We are responsible to:  help others with things THEY CANNOT DO. We are responsible for:  dealing with the everyday STRESS OF LIFE.   3) DETERMINE  Biblical boundaries.   15  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)   STUDY to learn what the Bible say about your need areas.   10  For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Ezra 7:10 (ESV)   APPLY the appropriate verses to your situation.   22  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24  For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25  But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. James 1:22-25 (ESV)   4)  I must ACTIVATE Biblical Boundaries in my life.   17  So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17 (ESV)   I bring my heart into ALIGNMENT with God & His Word.   11  Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. 12  I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. Psalm 86:11-12 (ESV)   Soul & heart = mind, will & emotion.   I am a  SOUL I have a HEART.   7  And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (ASV)   Never used of whole person, but of something the person possesses, used in the sense of conscience – the Hebrew has no word for conscience.   It’s the Nexus – or the controller or the Flux Capacitor of the soul!    Whole = shalem: complete, safe, at peace Transliteration: shalem   Alignment: Bringing my mind, will & emotions into line behind setting & maintaining a Biblical Boundary.   a• lign• ment or a• line• ment (n) The arrangement of something in a straight line or in an orderly position relative to something else;   TheraTogs ULTRA Posture and Torso Alignment System PTA    I LEARN the truth with my mind. I CHOOSE to obey with my will, I WARM UP to the truth over time.   5) WITHSTAND pressure to withdraw them.   CHECK up - Make sure I’m on solid ground.   2  I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. Galatians 2:2 (ESV)   I don’t want you to be paranoid about this or to become inwardly focused. But if things don’t seem to be working it can’t hurt to check.   24  “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26  And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV)   The goal of Biblical Boundaries is to get our lives founded on the Rock of Jesus. If we fail in this and fall, it will be a “great” fall and we’ll harm many in the process. So make sure you founded on the Rock.   OPEN Up - Get all the support I can.   11  Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12  Greet one another with a holy kiss. 2 Corinthians 13:11-12 (ESV)   If you’ve slipped your support network can help restore you. Everyone needs others you can’t do this alone.   6) INTERNALIZE my boundaries.   I rely on my own WILL POWER.   20  If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21  “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22  (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23  These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh. Colossians 2:20-23 (ESV) 17  For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (ESV)   Instead I must rely on CHRIST & HIS POWER!   13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 (ESV)
