We pray they make time for each other…
We ask that they reconnect…
These types of prayers may be uttered when one spouse has been away from their partner for a prolonged period of time or if a couple his in the middle of a season of particular busyness in their workplaces.
And they are good prayers to make.
But, if we’re being honest, isn’t this sometimes just code for sex.
When they finally make time for each other…
When they reconnect…
They will, most likely, have sex.
And, within a marriage, there’s nothing wrong with that.
In fact, it’s perfectly healthy.
Expected even.
So, if you’re in a setting with a bunch of married couples, couldn’t we just say what we mean?
Of course, making time and reconnecting should involve a lot more than just sex. But… honestly, isn’t it a part of it?
Shouldn’t we openly pray for each others sex lives?
That they are satisfying.
That they are enjoyable.
That they are prioritised.
Now, this may look - practically - dramatically different once the bedroom door closes.
This has nothing at all to do with frequency.
Or kinks.
Or even orgasms.
But… if a bunch of married, mature, Christian’s are praying euphemisms anyway… isn’t it time we drop the facade?
