What can be done? Well, to start, ladies tell your spouse how you feel about the many changes that have taken place with your body. You will be surprised that it probably does not bother him at all because when a man truly loves you, those physical changes do not really matter to him. All that probably matters to him is being close to you and feeling the warmth of your body and your tender touches. You full-figured mamas will really be surprised because he may tell you that it is just more of you to love.

When you have been in a relationship for many years, there must be more to complete intimacy besides having a perfect body. Hey, look at him. His body has most likely changed in some areas too. His six-pack is probably now a two-pack, and some are down to a one-pack. But the point is finding ways to keep that flame burning in the marriage bed. If you have lips, hips and fingertips, you can

make a lot happen. There are all kinds of beauty aids on the market today to help with body issues. You may have to make an investment, but aren't you worth it? Take this seriously and bring the joy back into your marriage. Begin to take the necessary steps to ignite the fire again. You can do it.

The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also, to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife (I Cor. 7: 3 and 4, NIV).
