Speak Up: Building Intimacy with Honesty

When it comes to the matters of the heart and the marriage bed. You see, in a marriage, just like in life, communication is key. If you’re not feeling fulfilled or connected with your husband during those intimate moments, don’t keep it to yourself.

You must find the courage to talk to him about it. Marriage is built on understanding and trust, and that includes sharing how you feel when it comes to your physical connection. Don’t pretend that everything is fine if it’s not—speak up, gently and kindly. Tell him where you like to be touched, how you like to be touched, and what makes you feel most loved and cherished.

Remember, a closed mouth leads to misunderstandings. How will he know if you don’t tell him? It’s important to talk about your needs, my child, and there’s no shame in it. You cannot go through life just accepting things that don’t bring you joy or satisfaction, especially in such a vital part of your relationship.

Talking to your husband about this won’t make you a bad wife, a bad woman, or a bad mother. In fact, it will only strengthen the bond you share. Don’t be afraid to tell him how you’d like things to be between you. He is your husband, after all. There should be no fear between you, only love and understanding.

So, speak up, my dear. Don’t be shy. Let him know how to make you feel truly loved and fulfilled. This is part of the beautiful journey you both share.
