After all, he's allowed to see you naked, so there's nothing actually wrong with it, right? And there are even "classy" places that will do boudoir photo shoots, with you in lingerie. That would be a good gift, wouldn't it? Especially if he were going away for a time (like a military deployment)?

Well, let's think this one through, because I don't think it has a black and white answer. Like many things in marriage, I'm inclined to say, "it depends." So here are just a few thoughts that I have, and then you can work it through in your own marriage.

We all know this; we see it all the time with celebrities. But it's true for "real life," as well. Photos that you intend to stay private often don't. Kids may come across them (and who wants their kids seeing this?). If they're on a phone, someone else may see it.

If you're going to take pictures, personally, I'd make sure they were erased right away. Let them be something to tease him with, not something he keeps with him.

Now, at the same time, I'm not a military person, and so I've never had that six month or a year separation. But I'm not sure sexy photos would make that year easier. It would be great if some military wives could chime in on this one, because I really do feel out of my depth on that one, and I'm reminded again of the gratitude I have for those in the service. So I'll let someone with more experience in that area make a more definitive statement.
