Zero Intimacy for Almost a Decade, Husband & Wife Share Their Miracle

Ten years of no physical intimacy.

That is where husband & wife, Jim & Willa, found themselves.

For 38 years of marriage, Willa described her husband as a "my way or the highway" kind of guy. And up until recently, Jim felt so frustrated and angry in his marriage that he wanted to leave.

They were sleeping in separate bedrooms, had busy lives, he left before she woke up just to avoid her most days.

Jim shared they literally hadn't touched in years.

Quote from a recent Coaching Program graduate:

"Week by week in this program, I've been taking an honest look at myself and owning the ways I've dropped the ball in our marriage. I've been working on making [my wife] feel safe, known, and cherished, and when things get tough, I've been fighting my old habit of pulling away by choosing to lean in instead.

I've been putting what I'm learning into practice—going from arguing almost every day to just a few times in the last six months, looking at my own heart first instead of blaming [my wife], and using the tools from MR so I'm not stuck feeling helpless when things aren't going well... I'm seeing real growth in how I love her and how we connect."

--

They did a marriage program. It was good information, but by the end, it didn't help.

Jim was at the end of his rope. He decided that he was ready to leave.

When Willa suggested Delight Your Marriage, he essentially said: "I'll try it, but if this doesn't work, that's the end."

What shocked him was the change that took place between the two of them week by week.

He had to be willing to feel silly and do something new. She had to be willing to slow down enough to focus on her highest priority human.

They both had to humble themselves, roll up their sleeves, and do the work.

And the Lord changed everything.

Now they're connecting, laughing, hugging, and yes, even intimacy. In just a couple of months, they're enjoying the best connection they've ever had in 38 years.

Maybe it's also been a decade for you of no physical intimacy. Maybe it's been even longer. Maybe you haven't laughed together in years. Maybe you don't even like being in the same room together. We want you to know that you are not alone, and God is still working. Take this with you: No one is too far gone for God. No marriage is irredeemable. And He can bring delight to your marriage.

Blessings,

The Delight Your Marriage Team

PPS - Here is a quote from another recent Coaching program graduate: "As I reflect back over this journey, I see how God has led me closer to Him. I have begun to understand what it means in Romans when Paul says; "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind….." Truly grasping the perspective that [my wife] is God's beautifully made daughter has changed everything for me. She is a blessing and a gift from the Lord….and my love for her today is so much greater than ever before... Thanks be to God for His abounding love. And thank you too Belah for your biblical passion, discernment, wisdom and courage to have this ministry."
