How Do I Stay Attracted to My Aging Spouse? // Ask Pastor John

A video published by Desiring God on November 17th, 2019

Sexual desire doesn’t begin and end with physical attraction. God made us to cherish inner beauty and glory, not just looks that pass with age. How do I stay physically attracted to my aging spouse? The question comes our way from an anonymous older man who listens to the podcast. “Dear Pastor John, most men marry in their youth, when our wives are young, vibrant, physically fit, and at their most physically beautiful. The passing of time inevitably ushers in wrinkles, sagging skin, sunspots, cellulite, etc. As aging husbands, how do we remain physically attracted to our spouses? Should we work at this? Is it disingenuous if it’s forced? Or is this something that should naturally die off over time? I don’t think so. However, if I can be fully honest, it often feels like I’m brainwashing myself. How would you counsel me?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-i-stay-attracted-to-my-aging-spouse Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
