Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and
good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so
much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
To consider one another means to think about and inquire
about one another to determine the needs of fellow believers,
and in doing so will “stir up love and good works.” What a
wonderful concept!
God Bless You!

–PEARLS OF WISDOM:
My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel

Annie,
I am a relatively new subscriber and enjoy, and am empowered, by your selection of verses and look forward to each I receive. My wife too is a Christian. We have a problem that is one only I care about, so would like to ask if you’ve addressed this problem in your messages before. If not, perhaps you could, or maybe one of your subscribers has faced and dealt with this problem.
Our marriage, in all aspects except one, has been mutually beneficial and satisfying in most respects. We get along well and are best of friends, but it has been absolutely, totally, positively celibate for nearly the past 25 of our 30 years together, so we are more like roommates than married lovers. I have remained true to my vows for all of these years, though I have been tempted many, many times, especially when I was traveling extensively for my work.
My wife does not recognize or consider this to be a problem, despite what Luke says in 1st Corinthians, so she sees no reason to do anything about her lack of desire or libido, and will not even talk to me about it. Her belief in the Bible is very strong, except she views it as being something that was written by a bunch of men that thought only of women as property, so puts little to no faith in anything it says about sex and marriage.
I admit I am the original cause of the problem, and no matter how many times and ways I’ve tried to apologize, she will not even talk with me about the lack of intimacy in our marriage. So, I am left frustrated, confused and disappointed. My libido is still very high, hers is zero point nothing.
After years of encouragement, she finally did ask her Dr. to test her hormone levels because she no longer had any strength and stamina, and was feeling tired all the time. As I expected, her testosterone was almost zero and her estradiol was way too high, so her Dr. gave her some prescriptions which she’s had filled at the same compounding pharmacy that I use for my T. The pharmacist, who’s known of my problem for several years, told me that it could take 2 to 3 months for her levels to be restored, and then, perhaps, her libido might be restored, so I do have some hope that she may be willing to talk with me about “my” problem. She’s always considered this to be “my” problem because she has no interest or desire and does not consider that to be a problem; the thought of this being “our” problem never enters her mind.
Thanks for your response.
Lee
