Two of Us: Level of Sexual Desire
Reflect
Separately, say the prayer and spend some time reflecting on the questions.Write some notes so that you can share more fully with your spouse.
Prayer
Father, How much you love me in the fulness of my being.
You love me specifically as a man/woman.
Sometimes I don’t allow you to love me that way.
I hide my sexuality, when I am with you or think about you.
Free me from this limitation.
Let me be my full self when I am with you.
I ask this through your son Jesus, Amen.
Directions
There can be a temptation, in questions like these, to answer from the head rather than from the heart.
The more personal details and life experiences you include, the more real your answers will be.
In talking together, try to be as personal as possible.
