I am not the kind of person that you will find shopping for myself in the lingerie section of a department store, much less in Victoria's Secret. Those places make me feel very uncomfortable. It is an awkward feeling to have a stranger who is usually much younger and more fit than me, helping me to find something to make me feel "adorned for my husband". Resigned to T-shirts and house pants, I didn't feel pretty in the bedroom. My husband made several attempts at gifting me with lingerie--he knows what size he'd like me to be, but has no idea what fits, comfortably or otherwise. He resigned to my wearing T-shirts and house pants as well. The private times of our life were like eating plain cake without icing.
I've read several Christian books and desired to be a woman after God's heart and a woman after my husband's heart and discovered that the two are very much the same. What God desires from me is to be the desire of my husband. So many scriptures back it up. I still didn't feel pretty in the bedroom, though. What I saw in the mirror wasn't what God or my husband saw, and I knew that I needed to make another attempt at being "adorned for my husband". Thank God for Rachelanne's Trousseau!
Several "gowns" are now in my own trousseau! I did not feel uncomfortable having you, a Christian woman, help me to select beautiful lingerie. You understood and helped me to overcome some insecurities by making practical suggestions on sizes and styles. You also understood the desire of my heart toward my husband and brought value and class to being attractive for him and enjoying our intimate time together.
