Blissfully Balanced

01/14/2026

May I never form another attachment to someone who isn’t right for my life. Someone who makes my heart feel restless instead of safe, who leaves me searching for clarity in moments that should feel certain. I am done with loving in silence, with holding emotions that have nowhere to land, with giving pieces of myself to people who cannot carry them gently. I have felt the ache of wanting to be chosen without hesitation, the heaviness of feeling close yet deeply alone and the quiet exhaustion of hoping someone would finally understand me without being asked. I no longer want connections that confuse my spirit or make me doubt my own value. I want a love that feels natural, unforced and steady, one that brings calm to my thoughts and warmth to my heart instead of questions and pain.

A love that feels safe to rest in and soft enough to stay.🤍

DESIRE, INTIMACY, AND THE TRUTH ABOUT S*X IN COMMITTED LOVE

For too long, we’ve been taught to separate desire from dignity, passion from purpose, and s*xuality from spirituality. But the truth is simpler—and far more beautiful: healthy desire is not a threat to love; it is one of its greatest languages.

S*xual longing is not shameful. It is human. It is the body’s quiet way of saying, I want closeness. I want connection. I want to be chosen. When desire is honored within commitment, it becomes a bridge—linking bodies, hearts, and futures.

Desire Is Not the Enemy

Desire begins in the mind long before it reaches the body. It grows when people feel seen, safe, respected, and emotionally connected. In long-term relationships, desire doesn’t die—it responds. It responds to how partners speak to each other, how they resolve conflict, how they protect peace, and how often they choose each other intentionally.

The S*xual Response Is a Journey, Not a Switch

Human intimacy often unfolds in stages: desire, arousal, rising tension, release, relaxation, and emotional closeness. Each phase matters. When couples rush intimacy without care, one partner is often left unseen. When couples take their time, intimacy becomes a shared rhythm rather than a performance.

This is especially important in marriage. Men and women often experience arousal differently—not as competitors, but as complements. Understanding these differences is not about control; it’s about consideration.

Foreplay Begins Long Before the Bedroom

True intimacy doesn’t start with touch—it starts with tone. With kindness. With affection throughout the day. With words that affirm rather than wounds that linger.

When couples flirt, laugh, talk, and express admiration, desire flows naturally. When resentment builds, desire retreats—not out of punishment, but protection.

Intimacy Thrives on Safety

S*x is not just physical release; it is emotional exposure. Rejection in moments of vulnerability can wound deeply. That’s why gentleness matters. Timing matters. Communication matters.

A loving “not right now” with reassurance preserves trust far better than silence or dismissal.

Marriage Is a Safe Place for Desire

Marriage was never meant to extinguish passion—it was meant to protect it. Within commitment, desire finds direction. It doesn’t roam. It doesn’t sabotage. It deepens.

Horniness without wisdom can destroy. Desire guided by love builds something that lasts.

Seasons Change—Connection Can Grow

Bodies change. Hormones shift. Life gets busy. Yet many couples discover that later seasons bring deeper confidence, clearer communication, and renewed desire—not because youth returned, but because fear left.

Intimacy that survives seasons is intimacy rooted in friendship, faithfulness, and shared vision.

Faith and S*xuality Are Not Opposites

You can love God and love intimacy. You can be spiritual and sensual. Desire does not disqualify devotion—it humanizes it.

When love is honored, s*x becomes more than pleasure; it becomes presence.

The Afterglow Matters

What happens after intimacy—cuddling, talking, resting together—cements emotional safety. This quiet closeness strengthens bonds and reminds both partners: We’re in this together.

FINAL THOUGHT

Desire is not something to suppress or fear. It is something to understand, guide, and protect. When couples choose patience over pressure, connection over chaos, and vision over impulse, intimacy becomes a lifelong conversation—one that grows richer with time.

The goal isn’t just or**sm.
The goal is union.
And union is built by choosing each other—again and again.

I have so many wishes for you, for us.
I wish that I’d found you sooner, so I could have loved you longer.
I know the broken road you traveled to find me wasn’t easy, and at times, you thought it would break you.
I can’t take away the pain of the past and the hurt of the heartaches you once knew, but I can promise you those days are past.
There’s times when the fire of our passion consumes me...
And I’d rather be burned alive by the flames of your love than pass away cold and loveless.
When I look into your eyes, I see the pain you stow away from the world, the anguish for the tears once cried..
And it tears my heart into pieces that anyone could wound such a precious person.
My soul will always find yours in that place where we can be free..
The gateway to our love where we leave the world behind,
Where we can cast our cares aside, if but for a moment, and just be together.
Wild, in love and free.
As you find my embrace and the realities of today wash away, know that you will always be safe here- in my arms, in my heart.
In this place, it doesn’t matter who or what we are, only the love we have and passion we share.
Yes, we’ve both been hurt and thought we were too broken to be worthy of real love.
But it doesn’t matter who hurt us or why we lost our way, only that we found ourselves and each other against all odds.
Worlds apart and reason aside, I was always meant to find you.
Real and authentic love will always find a way.
So, take my hand, my love, and let’s venture forth into those magical places where we can lose ourselves in our love.
If but for a moment, let the world slip away as we rekindle the fire of our passion each day.
No judgment, expectation or fear...
Just two hearts who found impossible love in each other.
In the middle of an ordinary life, you gave me a fairy tale.

As husband and wife, when a man gives his wife healthy masculine energy, it shows up on every level.

Mentally, he offers understanding, clear communication, respect, compromise, consistency, and transparency. He listens to understand, not to win. He creates safety with his words and steadiness with his actions.

Spiritually, he prays with her, meditates with her, pours wisdom into her life, and helps her see herself through God’s eyes. He feeds her spirit, sharpens her discernment, and reminds her who she is when the world tries to make her forget.

Physically, he is affectionate, attentive, and present. His touch reassures her. His closeness grounds her. His intimacy is not rushed or selfish. It is intentional, loving, and healing. In one body, he becomes both her medicine and her strength.

Because even healers need healing too.

The Creator will place a whole man, a healed man, in front of you. Do not mistake his confidence for arrogance. Do not confuse his quietness or deep listening with weakness. He is observing, learning, and understanding you, not to exploit you, but to love you better.

A real husband speaks to his wife’s spirit and supports her goals. He protects her peace. He cares about her health, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical. Every man and every woman needs someone who truly loves them enough to stand by their hospital bedside, advocate for them, and answer the hard questions when it matters most.

He is patient with you because he understands he did not meet you at the beginning of your journey. He knows you may be carrying wounds he did not cause, but he is committed to helping you heal.

Here is the truth.
Real masculine love and energy can feel overwhelming at first because many women are used to being needed, not loved properly. The universe responds to what you pray for or what you fear, but your self esteem determines what you believe you deserve.

Instead of nurturing emotional bloodsuckers, every woman deserves a strong chest to rest her head on, a place of safety, not survival.

At the end of the day, material things, trips, and achievements mean very little if you do not have someone you love to share them with. Kings choose Queens, and sometimes Kings must tell Queens the truth, not lie to them for comfort like clowns.

Ask yourself.
Who is helping your mind grow?
Who is protecting your heart while teaching you how to protect yourself?
Who is leading with love, not ego?

Gender roles feel lost because too many women entertain grown boys with arrested development just to feel chosen. A man can only do what a woman tolerates, and if women are receivers, the question becomes:

What kind of energy is your soul receiving?

Marriage is not about control or competition.
It is about covering, healing, leading, loving, and growing together.
