Why wouldn’t it be?:confused:

Because it arouses me to be that close to the woman I love and I get the impression from some that arousal is to be avoided unless your ready to follow through. Personally, it’s something I look forward to for a good part of the day.😃

Sounds like a personal issue between you and your wife.

Since you appear to be ready to follow through, there really is no problem even if you believe the “avoid arousal” crowd.😉

Now, whether or not the Mrs. is ready to follow through would be a matter for discussion…
 
Married chastity looks different than unmarried chastity. If you enjoy sleeping naked with your wife because you find it intimate and unitive, then do so; it will be good for your marriage. In that case the arousal is only a side-effect and not the intended result. However, if the only reason you want to sleep naked with your wife is to achieve that arousal during a time when abstinence is required for NFP reasons, that could damage your marriage because an unsatisfied arousal will create tension.

You need to look at the reasons why you want to sleep naked with your wife and decide, based on your reasons, whether that will be good or bad for your marriage.

You should be getting your information about Catholic teachings from Church-approved sources like Theology of the Body. If you take to heart what’s floated by lay people/amateur theologians (some of whom are misguided and some of whom I can only describe as psycho-sexually damaged) you’d “get the impression” that it’s Church teaching that exposed ankles are sinful and that healthy sexual arousal towards your wife is indistinguishable from self-centered lust.

If you’re genuinely serious about learning Church teachings about human sexuality, especially as it pertains to married life, ask your priest or deacon to recommend some books for you. And take everything you read on threads like this with a massive grain of salt.

It seems there are questions behind this question.

Does you wife have an opinion about what you should or should not wear?
Do you regularly sleep au naturel even if alone?
Do you not experience arousal if you wear pajamas or other attire?
What does (or doesn’t) your wife usually wear?
Are there issues between you and your wife due to you feeling arousal?

I *really *don’t want to know your answers but maybe you need to think about them.

My first thought on seing this post was "TROLL!!!"

There is no reason that either habitually or ocassionally you should not sleep naked. - unless you have pre-teen kids who will come and jump into your bed in the morning… then you would need to not sleep naked.
Toddlers hands, arms and legs can get everywhere - I assume this takes time to iron out. - it’s not hygienic to be naked when that happens.
I personally believe that my kids need to join mum and dad for a cuddle in the morning outweighs our liking for sleeping naked together - But other couples would disagree. - They would obviously have different rules for their kids from day 1.

You’re married. it is right and good to be intimate with your wife. It is important that that intimacy includes sexual and non sexual contact, and in my opinion it is good that the lines between these two forms of intimacy should be so blurred as to be impossible to p(name removed by moderator)oint.

You both need to be able to say “not tonight darling” - even after one or both of you have become aroused - or long before.

The wife is naked? Or are you naked? Both naked? You live in Minnesota? Are you sure you want to be naked? Pretty cold there, isn’t it? You don’t need to be chaste with your spouse especially if you are asleep.

Quoted for truth!

Is there a difference …

Sleeping with your wife naked

and

Sleeping with your naked wife

and

Sleeping naked with your wife

🙂

Well lucky for all of us here, “some” are terribly wrong.

Sleeping naked with your spouse is a good thing. Whether it leads to sex that night or not.
