“We Feel Like Roommates!”: Rebuilding Intimacy in Your Marriage 

by Meghan RayFebruary 14, 2025 Christian Counseling, Couples Counseling, Marriage and Relationships, Mental Health0 comments

Life is full of adventure, fun, memories, and laughter when we first start dating our spouses. We spend countless hours getting to know the other person in an effort to establish a foundation for the future. A couple months/years of this intentional time together and we decide to settle down. 

A man on a knee. A popped question. A ring on the second finger from the right. 

A walk down the aisle. An exchanging of vows. A promise of a lifetime of love. 

And then some wake up 2 – 5 – 7 – 12 years later feeling lost and disconnected. 

A loss of intimacy over the years can be normal if a couple doesn’t take a proactive approach to relationship development. It becomes so easy to fall into the busyness, chaos, routine of everyday life. Of raising children. Working jobs. Of taking care of the house. Fulfilling the demands of daily life. 

But when we wake up and all the sudden we are feeling like roommates with our spouse – we are really falling victim to making daily demands our idol and the distraction of Satan. We are no longer serving the covenant of marriage through Christ. 

It is usually at this point that couples come knocking on my door. 

And unfortunately it is usually the same complaints

  • We need better communication
  • We fight all the time 
  • Partner B emotionally cheated on Partner A
  • Partner A feels like Partner B does nothing to contribute around the house
  • Partner B never wants to have sex anymore 
  • We just feel so disconnected 

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 

Let’s first talk about what leads to this breakdown of intimacy.

As seen from the list of complaints shared above there are a lot of things that can cause us to walk away from that love and connection we had on our wedding day. While there are many more personal and unique experiences that can be brought forward, below are some of the more common. 

  1. Communication

When in conflict or when discussing hard conversations, misunderstanding and failure to gain perspective on your spouse’s opinion can lead to breakdown. Emotional distance grows when partners feel unheard or misunderstood in their feelings and observations. 

  1. Time Management 

Busyness is the thief of joy. When we do not prioritize our marriage as the second most important thing in our lives we lose each other to distraction and excuse.

  1. Conflicting Language 

In the whirlwind of the dating phase, we tend to compromise our needs and wants. When the regularity of life sets in, those needs and wants return. Because our spouses got to know us when we weren’t expressing those needs or when they were more willing to step out of their own character and do things they normally wouldn’t, we end up feeling starved. 

  1. Resentment 

When we do not forgive our partners for the things that they do, resentment builds. We become jaded when they do not help us appropriately around the house or when they do that thing that we hate. We allow the negative feelings to seep in and overtake the love that we have for them. 

Now let’s talk about how we rebuild. 

First we have to start with knowing what practices combat the common breakdowns in intimacy. 

  1. Communication 

Set aside time for personal and meaningful conversation when emotions are not high. Talk about your feelings, fears, dreams, and thoughts. Listen to only understand and not to combat. 

  1. Time Management

Make date nights important. Couples should be dating each other every 7-10 days. And dates DO NOT have to cost money. Sitting on the porch, sipping a glass of wine, and sharing quality time is just as beneficial as a night out on the town. 

  1. Conflicting Language  

Talk about your needs and wants with your partner. Explain what language you speak and come to a collaborative space where you both agree to speak a language in the middle that is sustainable. Explore love languages, conflict styles, and attachment styles to help articulate what some of those needs may be. Break down needs into daily needs (ex. More affection in the form of hugs, help with chores), monthly needs (ex. Date nights, more emotional conversations), omnipresent needs (ex. Transparency) 

  1. Resentment 

Share your perspective and hurt with your partner – and not when you are emotional. When you have had time to process your feelings and why certain things irritate you or hurt you – share them. We cannot truly let go and move forward without processing and sharing with our partners.

Once we start focusing on counteracting our breakdown, we then have to focus on rebuilding the individual areas of intimacy. To do so we have to understand the multiple types of intimacy that make a marriage. 

  • Recreational: the quality time you spend with your spouse to include hobbies and shared activities 

“Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:9

  • Physical: all forms of physical closeness to include sex 

“May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love” Proverbs 5:18-19

  • Intellectual: sharing ponderings and wondering of the mind 
  • Spiritual: cultivating practices and sharing thoughts/understandings around shared faith 

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

  • Emotional: sharing how you feel about situations and being vulnerable in your feelings

“Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way” 1 Peter 3:7

Some examples to rebuild are: 

  • Recreational
    • Identify common hobbies and interests and go experiencing them together 
    • Try new places and experiences together – force yourselves to rely on each other
    • Make date nights a regular occurrence (remember 7-10 days on average is the best practice)
    • Travel together (weekend trips every 3-4 months and 7 day vacations every 1-2 years is best practice)
  • Physical
    • Show affection in public and private spaces
    • Cuddle
    • Talk about your needs and desires in the bedroom 
    • Learn your spouse and what pleases them 
    • Prioritize sex amongst the chaos
  • Intellectual
    • Discuss faith based topics
    • Debate (civilly) over unshared values/beliefs 
    • Discuss opinions on things happening in the world around you 
  • Spiritual 
    • Apply biblical wisdom in your marriage 
    • Pray together 
    • Worship 
    • Engage in bible study together 
  • Emotional
    • Share your feelings
    • Be vulnerable 
    • Help your partner understand your perspective or things from your past that make you react a certain way
    • Listen with intention when your spouse shares with you 

With all of this in mind, you can rest assured in the faith that your marriage can feel like a deep connection again. There is faith that all the things that break us down over the years can be rebuilt again. 

And if you are newly married or dating – or even if you are on the other side of rebuilding intimacy – use this information to be more proactive about your marriage. Get ahead of the worldly things that tear us down and root your marriage for eternity.

Swiping Left: How to Weed Out the Nominal Christians 

by Meghan RayJanuary 31, 2025 Christian Counseling, Couples Counseling, Marriage and Relationships0 comments

Let me be honest from the beginning – you can’t really weed out the Nominal Christians by their Hinge bio alone. 

These apps are inherently meant to connect us with someone based off of initial attraction and vaguely undefined values and intentions. You see a handsome man on Bumble who states to be a conservative, Christian, day trader. These descriptors don’t actually mean he is politically conservative, a true believer, or an expert crypto buyer. It just means that when scanning a list of pre-selected options, they seemed to be the best option in conveying how he perceives himself or what his “dream” women would want in a man. 

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.” Matthew 23:27

The ability to weed through the masses for the type of man you are looking for starts and ends with understanding the difference in heart posture. We all know how to identify a secularist – but understanding the difference between a nominal (in name) Christian and a true believer is paramount. 

The nominal Christian – when we ask them if they are a Christian they say things like:

  • “I grew up Baptist.”
  • “I go to church on Sundays.”
  • “I believe in God and Jesus.” 

But wait – that sounds like a Believer! 

You’re right – a believer would connect with those same sentiments. But when a believer is asked if they are Christian they reply with:

  • “I value my relationship with the Lord.”
  • “I surrender to God in exchange for self.”
  • “I wrestle with my sins and am blessed for the mercy of our savior.”

Nominal Christians know the right things to “do”, maybe even to “say”. But nominal Christians don’t know what it means to have true heart posture and relationship with the Lord. 

Dating – and marrying – a nominal Christian can be detrimental. 

Research shows that nominal Christian husbands (even more than secularists!)

  • Spend the least amount of time with their children 
  • Have the highest divorce rates
  • Have the highest rates of domestic abuse

That’s scary when you think about it – that someone claiming to be a Christian would be the antithesis of Believer husbands who research shows have: 

  • The highest happiness rates
  • The lowest instances of divorce
  • The lowest incidences of abuse 
  • Spending 3.5x times more time with their children

So why the discrepancy? 

The most obvious reason is their lack of submission and obedience to the Lord. The lack of intentional relationship with Christ. Without a true connection to our creator, a nominal Christian is only rooted in legalistic rules and concepts. 

And topping the list of warped understanding? The concept of head of household and the submissive wife. 

“Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.” Ephesians 5:22-24

Misunderstanding of this verse lies in the definition of submit. The Greek word used in this passage of Ephesans is hupotasso – English translation “submit”. However, the word in Greek is defined as the demonstration of trust and obedience while humbly serving in mind and action. If we look at the English definition of submit – most of us stop at the “yielding to authority”. Rarely do we look at the English definition alternative of “presenting knowledge for consideration.” 

When we compares the multiple English definitions of submit to the Greek word used in scripture we find that the submission of a wife means to:

  • Respect our husband and his decisions
  • Follow where husband leads
  • Share burdens/thoughts/fears with husband
  • Offer our best insight and information for consideration
  • Hold our husband accountable

This is so different from the picture of 1950s housewife submission that so many have emblazoned in their mind. Specifically these nominal Christians.

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5:25-27

Further distorted is the idea of the man as head of the household. If our conceptualization of submission is that of our wife doing any and everything that we tell them to – our conceptualization of “leading” the home would be rooted in being “in charge” at all times. It would mean that when the woman steps out of line, she should be held accountable. So many nominal Christians that adhere to this thought pattern use their definitions of submission and head of household to religiously justify their abuse, cheating, or poor behavior. 

Scripturally however, headship does not mean being a dictator who is always right – it means:

  • You go first before your family
  • You initiate
  • You act in a way that is worthy of emulating 
  • Authority and responsibility of the common good of the family
  • Lead with ministry and family mission in mind
  • Bear the family burdens

Having the knowledge of the heart difference between a believer and nominal Christian is paramount to your dating endeavors. Knowing how to weed through the men who claim to share the faith and those that are in relationship with the Lord will change the trajectory of your relationship. 

And remember: Ephesians says for wives to submit to their husbands not for girlfriends to submit to their boyfriends. 

Once you have swiped right on the cute Christian boy – keep these concepts handy. Use them to discern and identify if this person is the right person for you to date intentionally.

The 3 Biblical Reasons for Divorce

by Meghan RayMay 15, 2024 Uncategorized0 comments

As a Christian, when we walk down the aisle on our wedding day, we are committing to a lifetime with our spouse. The bible tells us in Mark 10 that when we marry “two become one flesh”, that in the eyes of God we have been joined together. When we consider our our marriages, none of us consider the idea of divorce. Quite frankly, most of us don’t even see it as an option.

As a Christian counselor who works with couples who are struggling in their marriages, the most frequent thing I hear is “I can’t get divorced because I am a Christian and I made a promise to God.” While this sentiment is true for most cases, what many people don’t know, is that God provides in scripture 3 reasons for biblical divorce. When I share this with clients, many have no idea, or are resistant to the idea because for the majority of their life they have been told that divorce is not an option.

While I never suggest divorce as an immediate response to difficult times, I think it is imperative for Christians to know when divorce is an option. At the root of this mentality is the notion that marriage is a way of honoring and worshipping God. If we are not carrying out our marriages in the way He deems appropriate, we are dishonoring Him just as much by staying as we are by possibly leaving. So what are the reasons that God provides anyway?

Reason 1: Abandonment

“But if a husband or wife who isn’t a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases, the believing husband or wife, is no longer bound to the other.” 1 Corinthians 7:15A

In this passage, we are provided that we are not bound as Believers in remaining married to a non-believing spouse. The biggest thing to note here is what constitutes a believer. Just because your spouse attends church, may read their bible or say their prayers, does not mean that they are faithfully Believing or engaging in a relationship with our Lord. Following the works and rituals does not guarantee a relationship and belief. Many wives tell me that their husband’s are not spiritually leading or that their husbands just “check the boxes” of what they are “supposed” to do. When this is the case, abandonment may be considered as a reason for divorce.

Reason 2: Adultery

“ I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Matthew 19:7-9

This reason for divorce is the most widely known and discussed in the modern church community. While original language of scripture doesn’t translate to “adultery”, the notion is that sexual immorality is grounds for divorce. The most confusing part of this scripture is that if a divorce occurs, and one remarries, they are committing “adultery”. However, this is only the case of they divorce for non-biblical reasons (as discussed in this blog).

Reason 3: Abuse

Exodus 21:10; Deuteronomy 21:11 (and many more)

This final reason for divorce is probably the most convoluted. There is no direct statement in scripture that says “divorce is ok if someone is abusing you emotionally or physically”. However, many places in the bible discuss how abuse is displeasing to the meaning of marriage and are dishonoring of the marriage bond. When you think about abuse as reason for divorce, consider reconciliation deeply – for God can heal us of sins. However, when abuse is chronic, unchanging, and damaging to mental and physical safety, divorce is permittable. The spouse is not living a Christian life and submitting to a biblical marriage which qualifies them as a non-believer.

Remember that the first step if experiencing marriage conflict should be to seek help in the form of counseling. This will help redirect your marriage back on God. If you are experiencing a biblical reason for divorce, it may be worth considering if you are honoring God? If your marriage is struggling or if divorce for biblical reasons is necessary seek a Christian therapist near you.

How to Let Go of Your Grudges

by Stevi ReedApril 6, 2021 Couples Counseling, Depression0 comments

There is an old saying, “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” Often in counseling, I encounter people who are angry and bitter because they are holding onto grudges. Holding a grudge involves replaying a past injustice over and over in your head. If you are holding a grudge, you repeatedly get caught up in the emotions associated with the situation long after it has passed. Unfortunately, grudges keeps you “stuck” in the situation, rehashing the painful experience over and over again. Holding onto grudges weighs you down and keeps you from healing your emotional pain. In order to move on and heal, it is important to let go of your grudges.

The longer you hold a grudge the more difficult it is to forgive and move on. To let go of a grudge, shift your focus off the person who “wronged” you and the story of your suffering. Here are steps you can take to let go of a grudge.

1. Acknowledge the problem and identify your feelings.

 First of all, identify what the grudge is and what is causing you to hold onto it. A grudge can form when a problem is not fully confronted or solved. Clarify your feelings on the situation. What is the emotion behind the hurt? Are you angry, sad, ashamed? Then, decide if this is something you will work on yourself, or if you need to contact the person involved.  

2. Gain understanding about the person who wronged you to show empathy and compassion.

Secondly, it is helpful to put yourself in the other person’s shoes to understand their point of view and behavior. Understanding the other person does not justify their behavior, or that you were wronged, but it might make it easier to let go of the grudge.

3. Acceptance.

Thirdly, consciously choose to release the grudge – with or without an apology. The other person may never come around, and they might have forgotten about the issue or not even realize how you were affected. Even if you do not receive an apology, the other person might be remorseful. Sometimes people are remorseful but struggle to apologize due to pride or shame.

4. Stop dwelling on it.

Fourthly, once you decide to move on and release the grudge, keep moving forward. Do not spend time thinking about the situation, or repeatedly discuss it with others. If the issue is brought up in conversation, change the subject.

5. Consider the positive.

Next, try viewing the situation that caused your grudge as a learning experience. To do this, try answering these questions:

  • What have been the benefits of that experiences?
  • How can I learn and grow from this experience?
  • What amazing thing wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t experienced that?
  • How can I be grateful for this situation?

6. Forgive.

Finally, try forgiveness. Forgiveness is the intentional decision to give up the right for vengeance, retribution, or negative thoughts toward the “offender” in order to release resentment, bitterness, anger, and other negative emotions. You recognize your hurt and pain and you make the choice to let it go. This process promotes emotional healing and restoration of inner peace—and it may also allow for full reconciliation. Remember, forgiving the person does not mean forgetting about what happened; it can just be acknowledging differences and accepting that everyone makes mistakes.

How to Rebuild Trust in Your Relationship

by Stevi ReedMarch 30, 2021 Couples Counseling0 comments

After a betrayal in your relationship, it might feel impossible to move on as a couple. You may feel like you may never be able to trust your partner again. However, there is hope. A damaged relationship can heal with time, effort, and the restoration of trust. While it can be difficult to navigate the rough waters of a betrayed relationship, seeking and using techniques from therapy can be extremely helpful. Here are a few ways to rebuild trust in your relationship.

Communicate openly

The first step to rebuilding trust is open communication. Open communication gives you both a chance to understand the other person’s problems and barriers.

Sit down together without any distractions (that means put your phone away) and be real with your spouse, and give them the chance to be real as well. What does that mean? Avoid sounding accusatory and use I-statements. Really listen to your partner and ask open ended questions. Don’t focus the conversation on yourself or your hurts. Ask clarifying questions about their needs, desires, and feelings. Make sure your body language communicates that you’re present and open to what they have to say. Finally, make sure open and honest yourself.

Trust yourself.

Even with more communication, you might be questioning your own instincts after a betrayal. However, learning to trust yourself, your feelings, and your ability to move forward is key to rebuilding your relationship.

It is also important to remember trust issues can cause insecurities  about your relationship and yourself. Ultimately, these insecurities can damage your self-esteem over time. Building up your self-esteem takes patience and practice. To combat this, make a list of what you like about yourself or write out positive affirmations to tell yourself daily.

Stop “Checking Up”

Thirdly, reading through text messages or checking their location constantly strips them of the chance to be honest with you. Avoid the temptation of checking their phone or social media for “evidence.” 

Spend time together

Even with all of these things, you cannot reconnect unless you spend more time together. Therefore, it is important to do fun activities together – plan a picnic in the park, take a walk, or just stay in and play board games. No matter what it is, it is important to spend one-on-one time together to reconnect. Sometimes, we get caught up in our daily routines that we forget to date and connect with the ones we love. Get out of your rut by changing your routine and starting something new together like a new hobby that you both can do together.

Seek Counseling Together 

Finally, couples counseling is an excellent way to express your feelings in a mediated space. During a session, a therapist can give you tools and techniques to use at home to better communicate with one another. Couples counseling can help you work through difficult questions and find common ground.
