Examining Submission Journaling Exercise - Day 13

Is sexual availability, being available to your partner any time he or she wants, part of your submission? Why or why not? Are there limits to this?

I am available to him anytime he wants. And he is available to me anytime I want. I genuinely desire him. And he genuinely desires me.  It can be a distraction at times. As you try to get through a day, and thoughts of him dance through my mind and my body tells me- you need him now --- hey, I said now --- why aren't you listening? NOW! ----- leave the cart in the middle of the store...NOW! Hmmm, yup!

There are no limits, not for either of us. Even when one of us is tired. Intimacy is such a relationship affirming thing, that we each pull ourselves up for the other (barring actual illness, of course). Making those concessions, and reaffirming the connection is amazing.

With the crazy schedule Ward has,  in the months before a deployment they have increased duty. Every other day, or every 2 days he will have a 36 hour shift. That special shift leads right into a regular work day - ugh. I can be going insane by the time he gets home. He'll ask, I'll say, that's okay, you're tired (okay, so maybe I pout despite my best intentions - but I try REALLY hard not to), and he'll smile and say, no love, you need me, sleep can wait - how awesome is that?

  1. Lovely post June, that is the way our relationship has always been too. We have always been very sexually compatible and need to come together on a regular basis :)

  2. That is incredibly amazing. I think once you start letting it go because of everyday like things just start to snowball and before you know it's been weeks since you were last intimate. Once you fall into that pit, it's hard to climb back out.

    1. Absolutely, it is important to take care of, to nurture each other and your relationship. That entity that is created when two people come together is transcendent. It exists above this world and guides all your interactions both in the world and in your family. It is what carries you through the years, and it is from it that you draw your strength.

  3. Lol, I love this. Especially the part about leaving the cart in the store. Monster and I are both so guilty of that. :)
