Help!! I have been married four months. My H and I abstained from sex until marriage. I find myself uncomfortable being naked in front of my H and NEVER with the lights on. I know this is awful because sex is God's creation for US (within the context of marriage), but I can't seem to change my thinking. A lot of it is my insecurities with my own body. My husband is so patient! Please help before his patience runs out!<P>-- Encouragement

And give it time. Four months is not so very long to un-learn the habits of the first part of your life. <P>Candlelight is an especially good idea. Very flattering, very private, very nice. Especially bathing together, by candlelight......<P>Is your husband OK being naked in front of you? Try starting that way, and see how it goes from there. <P>Trust me, your husband probably does not agree with you that you should have insecurities about how you look to him. When your lady looks at you with love in her eyes, she is beautiful. Naked is icing on the cake. <P>Take your time. Your husband loves you. It will work out.<P>Regards,<BR>rs0522<P>
