Sex is a sacred part of marriage, but like any part of your relationship, it can face challenges. Whether it’s mismatched desire, emotional distance, or unspoken frustration, silence never brings healing.
As a submissive wife, honoring your husband doesn’t mean staying quiet when something is wrong. It means approaching hard conversations with humility, grace, and a desire for unity, not division.
It can feel awkward or vulnerable to talk about sex. But when you bring your concerns to your husband with respect, not blame, you open the door to a deeper connection.
Instead of saying, “You never…” or “Why don’t you…”, try:
👉 “Can we talk about how we’ve been feeling lately?”
👉 “I want us to feel close again. Can we work through this together?”
Your tone matters. Your timing matters. But most of all, your heart matters.
You are not being selfish by bringing up your needs. You are being wise. God designed intimacy as a gift, not a duty, not a weapon, and not a secret source of resentment.
And when you approach the topic with a heart to love, not just to get your way, your husband is more likely to respond with care, not defensiveness.
Talking through sexual struggles is not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of maturity.
Submission in the bedroom is not silence, it’s softness.
It’s the strength to say, “I love you enough to be honest, and I trust you enough to work through this together.”
