🤎💕About three years after Maximum Marriage Ministries began hosting marriage seminars, I encountered a story that perfectly illustrates the destructive power of a rigid mind. It concerns a wife who attended a couples’ workshop focused on sexual intimacy. She happened to have attended the meeting alone.

One of the key sessions explored “Intimacy Styles”—an area designed to deepen the bedroom lives of spouses and to move their marriages to new and higher levels.

Bubbling with excitement—the hallmark of someone who had truly embraced a new, positive perspective—she returned home eager to share these insights with her husband. That night, she suggested a new position she had learned during the seminar. However, her husband’s reaction was the polar opposite of what she had anticipated.

🤎💕A SUDDEN TURN OF EVENTS
The husband immediately halted their intimate moment. Instead of curiosity or passion, he met her with a stinging accusation of infidelity. He demanded to know where—if not from another man—she could have possibly learned such a technique.
Despite her desperate explanations, his suspicion remained unshakable. He threatened to report her “shameful” behavior to her parents, and he followed through on that threat.

One can only imagine the deep humiliation and emotional trauma that wife endured simply for trying to enrich the quality of their marriage.

🤎💕BREAKING THE CHAINS OF DOGMATISM
If you want a marriage that is both enduring and thriving, you must eliminate the spirit of dogmatism.

A dogmatist is someone stubbornly attached to their own beliefs, refusing to consider new ideas, concepts, or perspectives. In a marriage, this rigid mindset is a silent killer of connection.

In extreme cases, this refusal to adapt can lead to tragedy. I once read about a British housewife whose husband was interested in intimacy only about three times a year. Even then, the encounters were cold and mechanical—described more like receiving an injection than making love. Driven to despair by the persistent frustration of a husband who refused to change or listen, she ultimately took her own life.

🤎💕THE FOUNDATION AND THE SPARK
While a healthy marriage should be rooted firmly in spiritual principles from the Scriptures, it must also thrive on the sparks of creativity and innovative concepts that God provides.

Don’t let a closed mind shut out the joy and evolution your relationship deserves. To keep the your romance alive, you must remain open to your partner, stay trusting, and be willing to learn.

📚📖✒️ Quotes For Reflection:

“And wives, please hear this: Marriage and motherhood do not mean that your days of looking good are over. No, they’re not! Look sweet for your husband everyday. Smell sweet and romantic; and look tantalizing and “take away”! And be flirtatious and… what else? Yes, be loving and kind, gracious and open legged! That way, your husband won’t be lured by the witchy thoughts of “Sweet-Sixteen”.(Anselm Ahman. From Lovebirds’ Devotional of September 5, 2025)
