Connecting Spiritually in Marriage

Dropped Sword Series: Part Four "Not Honest or Accountable"

The sword drops here for sure. When you keep your sexual conversations, behaviors, pornography, or masturbation a secret you are in agreement with darkness. You cannot kill something you embrace. When you start lying, your sword is protecting lust and sin. Men protect what they love. When you protect lust and your sexual sin, your sword is down.

Dropped Sword Series: Part Three "No Boundaries"

One of the earliest signs to find out which way a man's sword is facing is by looking at his boundaries. A man who is more likely to drop his sword has no boundaries or very weak ones. He reads worldly material and watches sexuality in all forms of innuendos and scenarios on television. He doesn’t mind occasional, partial or full, nudity on television or in magazines.

Dropped Sword Series: Part Two "No Plan"

Men who drop their sword often have no plan for sexual purity. They didn’t see a need to walk through ideas that could help them stay clean. You know the old saying, if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.

Dropped Sword Series: Part One "Has Never Committed To Be Clean"

As men who live in a very perverted world, unlike any other generation before us, where Christians carry a porn store on their cell phones all day, often without any blocks or accountability, you have to commit to being clean to be successful. A man who will be vulnerable to drop his sword has never really assessed the battle ground he is in, and his place in that battle.

Intimacy Anorexia Patterns #4

Most individuals who do not struggle with intimacy anorexia recognize how little control they truly have over many aspects of their lives. They understand that controlling other people is unrealistic, especially when managing their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can be challenging enough. They do not place their confidence in the illusion of control or exhaust themselves trying to manage how others perceive them. For most people, attempting to control every circumstance, relationship, and impression would simply be overwhelming and exhausting.

Intimacy Anorexia Patterns #3

If you are not an intimacy anorexic, this particular trigger may be difficult to understand. As human beings, we are all flawed. We make mistakes, lack knowledge, hurt others, embarrass ourselves, and sometimes find ourselves confronted or exposed when those shortcomings become apparent. Most people recognize that imperfection is simply part of being human. However, for someone struggling with intimacy anorexia, maintaining the image of being good, capable, or without fault can become extremely important. When that carefully protected image is threatened and their flaws are exposed, it can trigger a pattern of intimacy anorexic withholding behaviors.
