My prayer for today...Lord help my husband and I to keep our sexual relationship a priority. Help me not to be irresponsible by letting too much time pass without us having sex. Help me to have sex with my husband when he wants to and not be selfish in this department. Help me to meet the needs of my husband first. Help me to remember how important it is to keep my husband fulfilled in this area. Help us both to keep our minds pure from outside sexual temptations. Help our desire to always be only for each other. Thank you for the blessings you have given us in this area. Thank you for healing us both from past relationships and not letting them be an issue sexually in our marriage. I pray that we would live in a continual state of forgiveness toward each other for our pasts. Help me to remember that my body is not my own. Help my husband to have the same biblical attitude. Help me to keep the truth of your word in my heart when the desire to have sex is not there. Help Amos and I to be on the same page as far as how often we desire sex and help us to be compromising when it is necessary. Help me to remember to take time to "freshen up" when I'm exhausted or unenthusiastic. Show me when I am letting negative emotions, like bitterness, self-pity or unforgiveness get in the way of my relationship with my husband. Help my husband and I to desire sexual purity. Guard our minds and our thoughts especially his when he is at work. Help us to be enraptured with each other, even throughout the chaos of life. I give you this part of our marriage, Lord, and I ask that you would help us maintain a healthy biblical view of sexuality in our marriage.
In Jesus name- Amen

Here is my prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Please help us to clear our minds of all insecurities that keep us from enjoying each other. Please keep our minds clean from the enemy and his temptations. Let us not be influenced in what is considered "normal" by society's standards. I pray that we find new ways to please each other and that our sex life never goes stale. Help us to know each other's bodies for our bodies do not belong to ourselves, but to each other. Let us be aware of all that is pleasing to our spouse. Let us not be selfish or lazy in our efforts. I give this area of our marriage to you Lord...please guide us in this.
Thank you Lord...
In the name of Jesus we pray,
Amen
It is weird to think that it is our "duty" to please our husbands sexually, but it makes sense b/c it is part of God's plan for husband and wife and we must obey Him. I guess another way to look at it is in order to serve God entirely, we must serve our husbands. This really helps me a lot when I do not feel like it or feel like my husband deserves it. It is not about me. Also, I think sex really helps to build a man up which in turn, gives us access to other areas of his life.
Lord Jesus,
I pray you give me the patience, understanding, and a loving attitude toward my husband even when I feel neglected. I know the stressors of life (work, finances, family) can easily distract and affect our emotional/physical state to the point we fail to be intimate with one another.
Help me Lord, give me discernment in the areas I can help him, to share his load of stress; help me communicate issues in a kindly manner and work toward fullfilling each other's needs without pointing the finger.
I pray you give Travis the strength he needs so when he comes home, he can have time to share together and be intimate with one another. Lord you are the center of this relationship, keep our minds, body & hearts pure to you and to one another.
In Jesus. Amen.
