My friend told me something about her husband that completely changed the way I see sex. She said he never pressured her into physical intimacy, never made her feel guilty for saying no, and never made her feel that her worth as a wife depended on sex. One day, she asked him, "Don't you ever feel rejected when I say no?" He looked at her and replied, 'I want to be close to you, not just your body. I want you to desire me, not feel obligated to me.' She told me that, in that moment, she understood something beautiful. Sex isn't sacred simply because two people share their bodies. It's sacred when they share their trust, vulnerability, love, and freedom to choose each other.
