Summary
We all go through seasons in passion. Sometimes it feels so easy to make love and sometimes its just not. Today I wanted to talk about those seasons that are hard.
Maybe its because of children, stress, or medication but sometimes its hard to make sex a priority in your life. I want you to know how I do it.
I'm in a season currently where it's not the easiest thing and I want to encourage you that you can do it too. There's good fruit on the other side, it's worth it. Listen in.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast, the show where you hear from amazing and inspiring |
| 0:08.1 | wives sharing their struggles, triumphs, and advice for this journey called marriage. |
| 0:13.9 | Here's your host, Bella Rose. |
| 0:18.8 | Hi, and welcome to the show. |
| 0:20.7 | Thank you for joining me. Today we are talking about when you don't want to have sex. |
| 0:26.9 | It is something I think I could spend a lot of time talking about because it's something that I have absolutely struggled with many, many, many times over. So I'm going to be as honest as I can |
| 0:40.9 | on this show because I want to be as helpful as I can on this show. And if you've listened to the show |
| 0:47.4 | before, you know that we talk about physical intimacy, spiritual intimacy, emotional intimacy. |
| 0:52.6 | But the heart of the show is really a lot about |
| 0:55.3 | sex because I think that it's not talked about in a godly way enough. And it's not talked about |
| 1:01.0 | in a way that's helpful. And so I really want to be helpful today and I want to give you inspiration |

| 1:14.7 | talk about how to say no. We're going to talk about the flip side of how to get yourself to make |
| 1:22.0 | love even when you don't want to. What's going to help in the long term? What's going to help in the |
| 1:27.2 | short term in the |
| 1:28.2 | moment? And I've got some last encouragements for you. So let's go ahead and get this discussion |
| 1:35.2 | started. |
| 2:03.8 | Okay. All right. So first of all, what I want to just talk about is the simple fact that if you have lived any length of time in this world, and especially if you've been a Christian, I think that it just becomes more and more obvious that life isn't easy, right? |
| 2:12.1 | Because this is not our home, it was not designed to be fulfilling this earth. There's plenty of things that are |
| 2:20.7 | wonderful that God has given us like the fall leaves, you know, that's, I'm in New York City, so the leaves are |
| 2:28.5 | changing colors. And today was actually kind of a warm fall day, and it's just beautiful out and refreshing and |
| 2:35.6 | wonderful. But then there's so many things that are under the surface that are hard. |
