8 Sensual Massage Tips to Set the Mood for Christian Married Couples

How beautiful are your sandaled feet, oh daughter of the prince! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of artisan hands. Your belly button is a rounded glass that is never lacking in mixed wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat surrounded by lilies. Your breasts are like two fawns, gazelle twins. Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon that faces Damascus. “(Song of Songs 7: 1-4)

Sensual exploration of your spouse is an often undiscovered joy for married Christian couples. This passage from the “Song of Songs” leaves little to the imagination and is a clear example of God’s intention that married Christian couples be free to explore each other openly and without shame. From her legs to her waist and from her breasts to her eyes, her lover graces her body one piece at a time. Sensual massage is the deep and exciting touch from your spouse that will bring a new opening in your intimate relationships. For maximum enjoyment, set the mood for your sensual massage along with these mood-setting tips.

1. Block and download. Close the door and unplug the phone. Make sure interruptions are eliminated. Clean the children’s house or find a weekend together.
2. Think in hours instead of minutes. Do not rush. Create a space with enough time to fully savor each other
3. Candles make it hotter. Light up the room with a series of candles. This type of light induces relaxation. If you can, use lavender or patchouli scented candles to further deepen the mood.
4. Save the player. While music can elicit responses, try to achieve a completely calm atmosphere. Peace of mind will tune you into the words and moods of others.
5. Temperatures in the 80s. Keep the room warm. You want to be able to be completely naked without the possibility of chills. A light satin sheet might help to fit.
6. Take off the cold. Make sure your hands are nice and warm. Rub them briskly or warm your core by taking a shower together. Both of these methods will ensure that your spouse takes a big leap when he first gets his hands on you.
7. Cleanliness is next to godliness. While not necessary, inhibitions can be lowered when you know that you are completely clean and are not aware of where your spouse might be headed.
8. The nose knows. The scent is a powerful thing, especially when chosen correctly. Rose, musk, jasmine, lavender, and patchouli are great options to spark this sense. Use a scented massage oil not only for the scent, but also to lubricate your hands during the massage.

Throughout the process, stay tuned to each one. Talk. Have fun. Listen to their responses and let them guide you. The idea is to maintain constant and gentle contact with your spouse as you move to different areas of your body. Gently knead and roll your muscles in each area, varying in intensity. Go slow and enjoy your time together. Sensual massage is a gift that you can give each other as a Christian couple. It is a gift that will deepen your communication, your physical intimacy, and your sensitivity to the needs of others.
