Topic of conversation

As women, we love to get together with other women and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Our men should like these gatherings because we unload and unleash all the talking on each other and perhaps they will be spared. :) I have come to realize the topic of conversation inevitably goes in the same direction no matter what group of women I am with. And what direction is that? Well, you can guess.  That's right, the topic of lovin. I really don't know why it goes in that direction and sometimes it just gets down right graphic. Is that a bad thing? I've pondered this. I guess it could be if it's taken too far or if someone gets offended. However, I think it can be a good thing too. Although these are private matters between a husband and wife, they are also somewhat tabu and that can often lead us to question what is normal regarding our emotions toward the subject. But why should we care what other people do and think about the topic? Well, we can not care, that is definitely an option, but we can also receive help and advice, which never hurts either. I definitely have lent a listening ear for some of my friends who struggle in this department and yes somethings are a challenge for some people and it may cause problems in the marriage. I have found it rather therapeutic for myself and others to be somewhat open about this sort of thing. I have left my group of friends feeling confident and glad that I'm feeling good about that part of my marriage. As women who are supposed to be modest and mindful of our bodies and their sacred component, it can become difficult to discover how to enjoy that part of marriage without feeling like you're sacrificing your core values. I'm here to tell you, that is why that topic of conversation can be helpful. One should never feel like that part of their life is compromising the virtue they hold. Being married is a gift from God and so is that aspect of marriage. Enjoy it and don't be afraid to talk about it with your friends as well as your spouse. I felt the need to write a little something on this topic because so often I find that women are afraid to not only to talk about it with their friends but also their spouse. (You should always be able to talk to your spouse about it.) Often I have found that women have insecurities and question's that lack an answer because they don't know how to ask. I assure you, friends can help!
