I came across a young woman online probably no older than her late teens who admitted to being coerced by her ex to participate in an ANR. My heart sank. I’ve mentioned on this blog that I’m convinced Husband Nursing is more intimate than sex. Correspondingly, therefore, to coerce anyone into it, I believe, is…
But God (Genesis 8:1) Genesis
“Drinking breastmilk?” I nodded, with a half-overjoyed, half nervous smile that seemed to convey a sense of “alright, you win. You got me.” I had just directed her to a Christ-centered ANR post where the Shulammite woman discusses feeding her bridegroom some wine/juice squeezed from her pomegranates. There was no more keeping her in suspense.…
I haven’t been in an ANR before and actual physical sin with women is not an issue for me, but if I said I haven’t recently been distracted and have my walk with Christ undermined, I’d be lying. I’m actually just coming out of a season of blindness and flesh-driven idolatry. I need your prayers.…
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah (fn) and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed.” – Genesis 5 NIV Footnote (5:29) Noah sounds like the Hebrew for comfort. I am looking for…
Adam, meet Eve. 18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what…
Whenever a woman’s body is discussed in the Bible, the emphasis is usually on her breasts and womb. That’s because these are the only parts of the female anatomy expressly created to bring protection, nourishment and comfort to others. There are parts of women’s bodies that bring pleasure to self and others, and the Bible…
I normally don’t quote the Spice Girls, but the chorus from this song speaks so beautifully to this blog and its mission that I had to share. “Come a little bit closer baby, get it on, get it on ‘Cause tonight is the night when two become one I need some love like I never…
If you’re struggling to appreciate the idea of an ANR, ask yourself why God breathed such a thing out into his word. Seek to discern the profitability of this particular exhortation. These posts may help towards that end. So if God tells you to “drink heavily from her breasts,” don’t argue with God. Just drink…
The greater responsibility falls on husbands to protect, nurture and love their wives as Christ loves the church and gave himself for her, but taken together, passages like Genesis 2:24 and Ephesians 5:22-33 inform believers of the mutual nature of the nurturing relationship built into marriage. See also: Husbands, love and feed your wives like…
If you spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of breasts or lips, you’ve probably been deceived. This is even more true if you’re single. If you spend time relishing graphic thoughts centering on Couples Nursing without having even met your spouse, you’re probably deceived. If you spend more time on this blog than with…
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.b He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she…
New International Version (NIV) The Appeal Renewed 2 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a…
The most powerful weapon against sexual impurity is humility. Patterns of sinful thought and behavior are fruits of a deeper root. If we want to stop bearing bad fruit, we must aim our primary attack against the root. And the root of sexual sin is not our sex drive; it’s pride. We live in an…
God’s hatred of sexual immorality and his impending wrath on the sexually perverse can’t be separated from his love for sex within marriage, along with his commands for couples to have sex frequently. From Tim Challies: Those who love must also hate. Those who love what is good, what is beneficial, what is honorable must…
“I want to be able to give my husband a safe place where he can come home at the end of a long day and let all the worries and stress fall away.” – K, ANR-desirous “I want to have a relaxing, cozy home for my husband to come home to; his safe-haven from the…
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the…
“I want to be able to produce something a man can’t make himself.” “A man can head to the refrigerator and pour himself a glass of milk, but what I produce can only come from me.” These are nearly exact quotes I’ve seen on ANR sites. We need to celebrate the uniqueness of women’s bodily…
Rejoice, ANR/ABF community worldwide! Since I began delving into ANR research around 2013/14, no year has passed without someone coming out or something significant happening to push Couples Nursing closer to the mainstream. Sure, some sites have either closed or been taken down, but the rate of new developments outpaces the shutdowns. Examples include Atlanta’s…
It’s too easy to be blindsided. ANR is incredibly beautiful but don’t let it become an idol. Trust me, if you let it, it can quickly become an overpowering, insidious and cruel master. It can save your marriage but not your soul. Always keep things in perspective. Repent of idolatry and keep your desires in…
This was translated from a Slavic language, so pardon the sometimes incoherent phrasing. I also found that a majority of Eastern European women online seem to be turned off by the idea of HBF, so I don’t think Eastern Europeans are any more into it than Westerners. “I’m Veronika, … third baby. I have 2…
True story. I have a sweet tooth. My blood sugar level has been known to spike in the past. Women’s bodies produce sugar. Real sugar. What a shame many women never get to realize their maximum inherent sweetness, both figuratively and literally. I think I’ll have to invest in a blood glucose meter when I get…
If you struggle with intrusive mental images of ANRs, then “think often that Christ suffered agony for your purity. Fight image with image. Christ crying in agony.” Titus 2:14 Christ gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for…
Alright, God never directly said that, but He very nearly did. For proof, see: Let her breasts inebriate thee at all times and Proverbs 5:19 (Intelinear Hebrew Bible and Douay-Rheims Bible).
“Hind of love and ibex of grace, nipples of her they shall satiate you in every of season. In love of her you shall err continually.” — God
