Fight Naked...

Now we get to what's really interesting.
No, you don't need to clean your glasses or rub your eyes, and yes, you are reading this right.
And no, it's not the newest reality craze, but it should indeed be taking marriages by storm.
If you're anything like I am, when my husband comes for me and my feelings, the first thing I'm trying to do it become as least vulnerable as possible. If I'm getting dressed, I dress faster. If I'm in the shower, I cut that joker short and get out of there. Even if I'm fully dressed, I usually cover myself with a pillow. It's not that I'm crazy (well, not for this reason anyway), but it's because it is a natural reaction that I have to shield myself from hurt.
It's not bullet proof but, don't judge...
I have to cover myself! Marital conflict can get very real very fast. Usually one person is talking and the other is super busy waiting on their next turn to talk, not listening at all, and mostly not getting anything accomplished. Before you know it, you're slinging insults and talking about each other's mothers and saying really mean stuff. That's the way it goes. It's not right at all, but it's real.
But could you imagine arguing with your husband naked?

James 5:16

"Confess your sins to each other and

Pray for each other so that you may be healed."

 

 

Besides the fact that I would be ridiculously distracted, there a few other reasons why this needs to be implemented into your marriage's communication system post haste.

1. It reminds you that you aren't perfect- When I have to be uncovered, I am insanely aware of how imperfect my body is. And, it feels magnified when someone else is present, mainly that husbandman. But it should also remind you that he loves for who you are, the way you are. If that's no a self-esteem booster, I'm not sue what is.

2. It keeps the issues on task- Who has time to sit around naked all day? Especially if you have children. We got things to do! Eventually this argument must come to an end, and if you cannot get dressed until it does, then it becomes more efficient.

3. It makes the make up sex easier to start- There's already nothing there so, why not???

 

If we choose to argue naked, it symbolizes the true meaning of being transparent. There should be nothing to hide in your marriage anyway and this is just a way of sealing that deal. When we do something wrong or we disagree, our husbands and I have to work it out, and it should be done expeditiously. The longer we hold on to issues that arise without addressing them, the easier it is to become resentful and bitter. Those little bugs take a lot longer to get out than they do to get in. Discussing these things is the beginning process of healing. Prayer is the second part, and working on it is the third part, but you can't finish until you begin.

In order to be healed from things, we have to acknowledge them or confess them. You can't work on something by acting like its not there or brushing it o like it's no big deal. Doing it in the nude is just a way of saying "I'm withholding nothing from you. I trust you completely. Let's work it out."And it may not work all the time, but it may. You will never know unto you try.

It's not a ploy or a game, its a real life suggestion. Try it, at least once. If you and your husband are having "heated "fellowship" and he starts raising his voice, just go to your bedroom and tell him to get naked.

That will usually be the end of it...
