If you are pregnant then you are in a wonderful situation. Your thoughts are consumed by your upcoming due date and you are excited about meeting your child. You are eager to look into the face of your child and you are preparing everything: choosing the perfect color to paint the new nursery, selecting a name, etc.
But have you thought about yourself? About all the changes that you and your husband are going to face in day-to-day life, especially when it comes to your intimacy? Today, I would like to share two web pages with you that offer great answers on this topic, as well as an overview by Sarah Ortiz from the American Bible Society about what the Bible teaches us about forgiveness. May God bless your marriage as you enter this new season of life.
Yours Christian Pälchen
