At a marriage conference, I heard about a study that concluded sex relieved headache pain. That fact was set up to be a comical segue to the topic of intimacy, but it struck me as an experiment I wanted to put to the test.
Well, I did…
And the verdict:
It worked!!!!
Next time you have a headache, give it a try. Initiate sex with your husband, enjoy the moment, and see if you too experience a holistic form of medicine!
Don’t forget to try it out on your husband as well! When he complains about his head hurting… offer to heal him!
It may not be successful (my findings are far from scientific), but your marriage will benefit and it has potential to become a wonderful inside joke between the two of you!
Enjoy Your Spouse!

I love this and your photos! I especially loved that you tried it as an experiment. You gotta loves God’s plan and the wonderful mix of feel-good brain chemicals that comes from sexual intimacy! Nice to meet you Darby. 🙂

Nice to meet you too! Thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, the Lord knew what He was doing when he created/designed marital sex. 🙂
