When the days are packed and everyone is exhausted, it is way too easy for me to let sex take a back seat.
But when sex takes a back seat on a regular basis, so does our level of connection and intimacy.
If we wait to enjoy sex only for when the mood is right or when I’m super energized, we could seriously wait forever! And in the meantime, we would risk our marriage becoming dry as a bone.
I’m not willing to risk that.
Instead of letting the chaos of the week drive our sex life, I’m choosing another way. I’m deciding to let my actions of love lead to feelings of love. Even in the face of exhaustion.
In our own busiest, most exhausting seasons, we have found great results by following the advice a pastor gave us: schedule sex. I prioritize and schedule everything important to me, including sports practices, coffee dates, school events, and dr. appointments. Scheduling sex is a way to prioritize connection in my marriage, which is one of my all-time most important aspirations!
So, today’s challenge is to err on the side of love, and connection, even if I’m tired. I have a feeling, I won’t regret it.
