Celibacy In Marriage

Celibacy in marriage is a choice made alone..
By a partner whose given their body, mind and soul to atone.
For someone else’s shortcomings and insecurity..
With all that I’ve experienced I don’t need to validate
“ME.”
As for me after 4 kids,30 years of marriage,5 Grandkids sex is just another distraction…
Fit for men to accuse you of a deed or action..
To cover their own blemishes while gaining from someone other than their self..
Yes I’m happy with this personal choice in life that I’m  making to be put on a shelf.
Cause I’d rather have my body in tact while they losing they mind..
For a woman’s worth should not be based on sexual favor or the size of her behind.
