The Special Blog of the Week we want to share with you is the Do Not Disturb blog. Justin and Megan do an excellent job of encouraging intimacy and the freedom there is to be found behind closed doors. They are thought-provoking, conversation inspiring, and down-right honest in discussing issues all married couples face at one time or another. You can follow them on Twitter @_DoNot_Disturb and on Facebook.

Here are a few of their recent posts we want to share with you:

• Marriage: The Hidden Seam – I love analogies and this one will make you think!
• Five Hindrances of Sexual Freedom 1 – Ego <<Love the conversation depicted between a married couple and their counselor. Very helpful as you evaluate your own answers.
• Five Hindrances of Sexual Freedom 2 – Interests << The conversation continues with a counselor and another couple. This time to examine the genuine interests of the husband and wife. How would you answer the questions?

Finally, we want to share a need of which we’ve become aware; Scott and Bekah Crowell are dear friends who have only been married a few years. Scott has faced many physical challenges, mostly regarding his heart. It has escalated to a point where the doctors aren’t sure what is best for his care. They are working diligently to help bring him to a place of health. However, he lost his job and insurance the beginning of the year, and after two lost pregnancies they are now expecting again. Friends have set up a fundraiser to help them through this time. Empathy is putting yourself in another’s shoes. Would you consider donating if you are able. If you aren’t able, I know they would covet your prayers for them. Click the picture to access their page.
