I Feel Guilty When we Have Sex!

On the Show Today:
* Our Son turned 13 this week and we enjoyed celebrating him
* Stu had his Dad and Father in Law write letters of blessing to Dean to celebrate a new season beginning. Stu seemed to appreciate it more than his son (right now!)
Listener Question:
My husband and I have been married for just over a year, our marriage overall seems to be going at a steady pace! We attend church, we pray together, we are best friends & we are very happy! I, however, I have one issue. Whenever I and my husband are intimate I feel guilty.
I sometimes wonder if it’s because I grew up in a strict Christian household where I was taught sex was basically a bad thing until marriage & that me and my husband made the mistake of not waiting until we were married to be intimate, about 7 months before our wedding we both became super convicted and decided to stop being intimate with each other.
Now that we are married and living out gods design for marriage I want to be able to enjoy the intimacy God has planned for us without feeling like I’m sinning even when I am not, I thought when we quit being intimate before marriage it would solve my guilty conscience but it hasn’t & I am over always feeling this overwhelming guilt.
I know it’s In my head and that it’s something I need to work through. I have asked for forgiveness and prayed a lot about this specific topic but I am struggling to find the relief I am wishing for.
