We went to the Bounce House tonight, after I laid around when we came home from church. It has been so cold that we don't even want to leave the house, much less play outside. So I remembered this place we went to with Sara during the summer, with bouncy fun and free video games for the daddies.
Ryan didn't want to go at first, he was "kinda tired" but I convinced him with the free video game thing. We had fun bouncing around, throwing the kids, sliding on the slides. We had some good old-fashioned family fun. I am so happy we did it!
In church today, we talked about sex. Yes, again. Pastor Tim made a great point about women withholding/rewarding with sex. He used water and thirst as an analogy, showing how the man can be SO thirsty and the women holds all the control of the "good" water in the house. Husbands can fall prey to the temptation of "bad" water (a.k.a. porn, but he demonstrated with toilet water, very funny) if the wife is not an equal partner in the sex division. This may sound sexist, it wasn't meant to. He was making a point that women can be as much to blame when a husband turns to "other means". His point was equality, not finger pointing.
We don't really have this problem in our marriage. I understand that he just needs it sometimes. He understands that I don't withhold for silly, selfish reasons, they're always legit. Like, I don't know having surgery on your girl parts? I have been pretty understanding throughout all of this. He owes me.
But he says after church "I don't just wanna have sex because you're an object, I love you and I hope you know that." Awww. Except as he was saying that, he was staring at my chest. Actions speak louder than words, buddy!! :)
