Before you ever got married you and your spouse thought long about sex. You may have even talked about having sex together or had sex before you got married. We know where you are because we talked about sex and had sex before we got married. The sex was driven by emotion and because of this we didn’t talk about what we liked or disliked. The decision to have sex before marriage and to then not talk about it led to many subpar years of sex. Along the way we ended up with some pretty bad habits, too.
You now have the opportunity to do what took us 11 years of marriage to do; we talked about our sex lives! We actually took time together, faced our fears, and asked each other questions about what we would like or wouldn't like when it came to making love. You may be a bit squeamish right now. Good! It means you need to have a talk with your spouse.
You may not enjoy talking about sex the first time you sit together. It's understandable, but if you desire to have more passion and romance with your spouse then both of you need to know what your likes and dislikes are.
Take an evening to go through all of these questions. Most importantly, both of you need to honestly answer each one. We've included a PDF of these questions so that you can write down your spouse's answers. Keep this sheet and refer back to it often. Those acts your spouse wishes to do or not do are now out in the open.
Honor your spouse if he or she does not wish to try something. Nobody wishes to be forced to do something they do not desire. Remember, you are a servant lover and by putting your spouse's needs in front of yours the two of you will grow closer sexually.
