A Novel Approach to Marriage Building - Seasons of Change, Chapter 9
Remember, when you get to the questions that are specific about your marriage, make sure you both share!
Warning: The question contains spoilers. If you haven't already read the book, you may not want to read the questions.
Read page 64-65, from about three-fourths of the way down, "'If a couple can’t ...'" to half-way down page 65, "'I accept your challenge,' ..."
Have you ever consciously thought about romance in your marriage? Do you consider romance to be the stereotypical things like candlelight dinners and flowers on Valentine's Day? Honestly discuss whether or not you feel "romanced" by each other.
The Song of Songs was written to reveal God's plan for married love. Read it aloud together. (Some versions have "He" and "She" parts. You may want to alternate reading it that way.) If you have a problem with the archaic imagery, read some commentaries to get a better idea of the heart behind the imagery. Try to express those feelings to each other in a more contemporary way.
Do you see that God desires for married couples to experience romance (and sexual pleasure)? What are specific steps you can take to begin to bring godly romance into your marriage? How can your spouse best help you to change?
