Earlier this week, I wrote a couple of posts about praying for your marriage. What about praying for your sex life?

I know some folks feel funny about mixing sex and God, but sex was His idea. What’s more, He strongly encourages us to have plenty of sex in marriage. He cares about your sex life, and He won’t strike you dead if you pray about it.

All of what I said about praying for our marriages applies to praying about sex. If you’ve been selfish or worse about sex, praying about sex is inviting God to show you those things. And using God to manipulate your wife sexually is not going to end well for you! Praying “God, let her say yes” is fine, provided you’re not walking in sexual sin and have not done things that push her away from you and/or sex.

Here, even more than in other areas, “your will, not mine” is critical. I’d suggest you spend a lot of time asking God to reveal to you His heart for your sex life. And you might be surprised! It’s possible your guilt and wrong teachings have you thinking what is allowed is far less than what God would like you and your wife to enjoy sexually. Likewise for your wife, so “God reveal to both of us how you want our sex life to look” would be a great way to pray.

I’d also suggest regularly praying for God to free both of you from shame, guilt, wrong teaching, and the ways your past have messed you up sexually.
