This weeks challenge is a good one! Now I came to the conclusion that we need a dimmer switch on our bedroom light...lol! So for now candles...a lot of candles...will work just fine.
Underlying the obvious, making love with the lights on is the issue of confidence. Do I have enough confidence about my body to allow him to see me nude? (Just sounds better than naked...lol) Do I have enough confidence in his desire of me and my body?
For me those are both hard ones to address. I for one don't feel that my body looks as fabulous as it did pre-children. How I love my babies, but my tummy is flat no more and the stretch marks are a bit unsightly. Yes, I know he went through the pregnancies with me and the changes were gradual and over a period of time, but still I long for the body I had before I had kids. Which makes me wonder if he does too? There comes the confidence part again. I have to trust that he loves and desires me just the way I am. Thank God my husband thinks and feels differently than I do...or we would never make love...lol...just kidding...maybe.
I think that this week's challenge sheds light on more than just our bedroom...
So here are some things I will be thinking about:
1) My husband takes great pleasure in seeing me naked. That is the way God designed him to be.
2) I need to work on my self-confidence levels.
3) God carved my body exactly as how He knew my husband would delight in it.
4) My husband appreciates it when I step out of my comfort zone :)
5) Thinking about our love life keeps the sexual fire stoked and HOT!
So I challenge you...shed a little light

Ok - I guess I'm over the trauma of commenting on sex posts... :-0
First - Naked vs. Nude - I once heard someone say, nude means you have no clothes on and "Nekkid" means you have no clothes on and you're up to something. grin
And with regard to our husbands loving us the way we are, the Bible talks about men rejoicing with the wife of their youth. (Prov 5:18) We were young when we got married, and I believe that God somehow keeps that young image in my husband's mind and he still sees me as the same young woman he married 17+ years ago - the wife of his youth... I'm so glad!
I'm not always confident in myself and my looks, but I am confident in my husband's love for me , including the body that comes with me!
I'm a Believer!

Vive la lumiere! (broken French!)
Laura, you crack me up! I am going to remember the difference between naked and nekkid...lol!
And I think you might be right about the youth theory. Recently I asked my hubby if he still liked my body. He told me no, no he didn't like my body he loved my body. Can I just say I melted?
Thank God!
