Delight Your Marriage Belah Rose | Author, Podcaster, & Marital Intimacy Enthusiast

We all know that marriage is a blessing from God. And when a marriage spans decades - ten, twenty, thirty years- we often stand in awe and amazement at that accomplishment.
 
However, there are times when those thirty years privately have been disconnected and painful and becoming empty nesters resulted in feeling like even less than roommates.
 
But, what if they found a program that changed it all and brought a deeper peace, connection, and unity to their marriage than they’ve had in three decades?
 
That is Adam’s Transformation Story. From being disconnected and treating her almost as he did one of his “employees” to learning what it truly means to be “safe” for his wife. So connected in fact that they are planning a getaway for their 30th anniversary! When just a few short months ago she felt there was nothing to celebrate!
 
We are thrilled to share this transformation story with you because it’s a miracle that we give God all glory and honor for what He did in their family. 
 
If any part of it resonates–the disconnect, the want for a change in heart, the desire for results like this one (planning a trip, deeper intimacy, deeper connection)–we encourage you to make a Clarity Call at www.delightyourmarriage.com/cc
 
We hope this story encourages you, reminds you that God is for you, and that it is truly, truly, never too late to turn and create a new beginning in your marriage.
 
Love,
 
Belah

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate:
 
Before MR: “Lack of connection, lack of intimacy on each Spiritual, Emotional or Physical. I knew that our physical intimacy was lacking, My wife and I were friendly 'roommates', Physical intimacy was infrequent (3-5x a year) and not passionate. I knew I wanted and needed more, but I wasn't able to identify the lacking Spiritual and Emotional intimacy. I described myself as Helpless but not Hopeless because I had hope but didn't know exactly what was missing and what to do about it….”

After MR: “(The) DYM MR program has drawn me closer to God, my wife, and my daughters. I have seen wonderful growth in my closeness with my wife and we've spent more time truly together in the last couple months than in prior years. We've gone from polite roommates where I had been jealous of my wife's craving of Diet Coke more than she seemed to need or crave me in her life to teenagers who do fun silly things to express our love for one another... My spiritual connections with God and my wife have improved 100 fold!... My wife and I are on an adventure to read the bible within the next year. We're also cooking together 3 nights per week…”

Have you ever been in a place where a conflict has absolutely consumed you?
Whether you're grocery shopping or with friends, that conflict is just circling over and over in your mind.
Maybe you find yourself wondering how you even got there in the first place? And even more so, how to get out of that place?
Well, author and speaker Donna Jones is here today to talk about just that. 
In her new book “Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life: a Biblical guide to Communicating Thoughts, Feelings, and Opinions with Grace, Truth, and Zero Regret”, Donna walks us through how to handle conflict with love and grace, how to be an Addresser of Conflict, rather than an Avoider or Attacker, how to lead with listening, and so much more. 
We were sad to have this episode end because it was such a treasure!
We hope this episode blesses you and brings you and your spouse closer together- shoulder to shoulder, against the problem, rather than against each other.
We believe God can heal any relationship and He can use you through His wisdom to do just that.
Love,

Belah

I was confused. 
There I was a new bride, having saved myself for marriage... 
only to find out that my new husband wanted me to do SINFUL things. 
Where did he get all this "inspiration" anyway? 
Oh, I knew: sinful places.
So, of course, I refused. And of course, it brought mutual anger (covering each of our hurt). 
What's your story?
If it's even remotely like mine, I needed to change the lens in which I was viewing sex. 
I wasn't viewing sex from a biblical standpoint. 
I was viewing sex from a sexually perverted lens. (Even though I saved my sex for marriage, I certainly received messages from the world that perverted the purity and unashamedness that is meant to be in the bedroom.)
I was thinking about a sinful visual I had, at some point, encountered that I knew was wrong. Instead of recognizing the COMPLETELY different and HOLY context of my marriage, I decided the act was associated with my experience that was not God's will. 
Maybe you've gone through something profoundly tragic, if so, my heart goes out to you. And now you're married and there are so many things that feel hard to move towards because of the past. There is hope. Hope for healing and even hope for desire. 
Be washed by truth. That's my aim in this conversation. That you will realize that our God is a God of intimacy and freedom in your marriage. 
When you wash your mind with the truth of His design within the marriage bed, may you slowly wade (or dive in) into the waters of marital intimacy and find out it's nice and warm (with your spouse :) )
In this conversation, I talk about:
1 - the actual boundaries God gives in the Bible
2 - the clear freedom He gives, biblically speaking and logically reasoned
3 - the difference between masculine and feminine sex
4 - the invitation to align your typical life with the standard of the Bible (which is often overlooked... a frequent contradiction)
Love, 
Belah

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: 
“We were emotionally, intimately, and spiritually disconnected. We lived in the same house, but didn't live together.  I was angry and bitter…”
AFTER: “My wife and I are closer than we have ever been! She has a glow. It's crazy how much we love each other.  Life is fun!”

Bethany felt like her marriage was a lost cause. 
She knew that she and her husband were called to be together, but after years of serving in church ministry, three kids, and infidelity, Bethany and her husband began questioning their promise of “no divorce” and began considering separation. 
She knew she needed help. She was desperate.
She searched for a Christian answer and found Delight Your Marriage. After listening to the podcast and the testimonies, she felt unsure because the testimonies felt too hard to believe. 
“God couldn’t do that for me, could he?”
But she kept listening until she felt God tugging on her heart telling her it was time.
Through Delight Your Marriage, Bethany received encouragement, support, wisdom, and a team of people that was in her corner. 
 
She has seen a transformation in her marriage including surprise flowers and a softness in her husband that she had never seen before. (Not to mention weekly dates! Which was never a thing before!)
 
We are so thankful to be able to share Bethany’s story with you today and know that it is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what God can do in so many marriages. 
 
He is a good, thoughtful, and intentional God.
 
Blessings,
 
Belah and team

As Bethany said, “It truly is a CLARITY call.”


PPS - Here is a quote from a (different) recent graduate:

BEFORE: “Before DYM, there was a lot of tension and stress in our marriage and disconnect. My husband had affairs and these were replayed constantly in my head… I did not trust him and had not forgiven him. Intimacy felt like something I had to do to keep him somewhat happy.”
AFTER: “After going through the program, the stress is gone and replaying the affairs in my head is pretty much gone… I told him I have forgiven him and intimacy is something I desire now and enjoy with my husband. We are both so much happier in our marriage!”

Maybe you've done something wrong...
Maybe there's a deep discomfort that you keep trying to avoid...
Maybe you feel if you let yourself be with yourself quietly, the shame will swallow you whole...
 
The guilt and shame you feel may be justified.
 
And that is exactly why we need a sacrifice that allows us to live in confidence and freedom, peace and joy in life.
 
As followers of Jesus, we don't have confidence that "we're good enough" because of some baseless affirmation. 
We have a strong foundation of reason as to why we have confidence.
 
The truth is, on our own...
We aren't good enough. 
We don't deserve the goodness God gives us every day.
And we don't deserve His sacrifice. 
 
But what we are as Jesus followers are receive-ers. 
We are trust-ers. 
We are people who say THE event that altered the human race 2000 years ago is WHY I can have freedom from shame. 
 
If you have felt like you've been "paying for" the sin you've committed, it's time to receive the payment from God and start walking in your freedom as His son and daughter.
 
His payment actually means something in your day to day life. 
 
You can never earn your way into being worthy of His love and goodness, peace and freedom. You get to believe and receive it. He is that good and loving and merciful and kind.
 
I invite you to let the gift of Jesus' sacrifice move you today.
Spend time in the story today and this weekend. Remember and receive His sacrifice for every part of your life and heart.
 
Love, 
Belah

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate:
DW Before: We were planning on how to keep a family together while breaking our family up - We were at the end of ourselves and decided it was time to give up and go our separate ways.
DW After: WHERE DO I BEGIN!!! I have grown in patience, perspective, my faith and connection with God, my understanding of my husband, and peace. I have learned how to build my marriage.
​​ Change starts with me - God can only save my marriage if I am humble enough to surrender and let Him start with ME!!!!
​​Belah always pointed us to Jesus NOT to a strategy or an idea or concept. It was directly and purely to JESUS. He was the main focus, and everything else just fell into place. It helped me to re-center everything in my life.
