Yes I am writing about sex. God made sex so of course I’m going to talk about it. Most of us got here as a result of sex. Sex is how we reproduce.
Sex is awesome when you’re married and you can trust your partner. Sex is suppose to be between a husband and wife. That is the way God intended it to be… For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and they will become one flesh. -Genesis 2:24
The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. -1 Corinthians 7:3-5
This verse says A LOT! And I learned this in 2009 when I started watching the church channels and came across the Marriage on the Rock teaching by Jimmy Evens with Marriage Today Ministry. And it probably saved my marriage.
Men need sex and God gave us women that gift. So when a husband wants or needs sex he should be able to get it from his wife. If a wife doesn’t give her husband what he needs, where is he supposed to get it from? Is he supposed to go without? That is a lot to ask. But he’s supposed to be faithful, right?
I did not always think like this, but now I do and I do believe it saved my marriage. I do not withhold sex from my husband. He doesn’t get it as much as he’d like it because we have 2 babies runnin’ around but I don’t withhold it from him. If he asks for it, I give it to him.
Sex is a funny thing though. It can be something amazing and it could be something horrible. Sex can create life and it can kill. Sex can (help) save a marriage and it could destroy it. People lie about it. People go to jail because of it. People will pay for it and people will sell it.
While I’m on the negative (sin) side of the subject… Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. -1 Corinthians 6:18-20
If you are married… have sex (with each-other), even if it’s a quickie, have sex. Sex helps keep something there. Don’t let a lot of time go by to where it becomes awkward. And if it already has become awkward… don’t worry you can get it right with Gods help.
Do it.
