SEX
God’s
thoughts on sex.
1
Corinthians 7:1-5
Verse
1 is talking about unmarried men and women. The word touch here is used in a
sexual sense. In simpler terms don’t play with temptation. You are not made of
stone. If you are playing with matches you are going to get burned.
Verses
3-5 are telling us to have respect for our partner’s sexual needs, considering
their needs first rather than your own. Your sex life will be rewarding as you
strive to please one another. God created us to be sexual beings so that we
could enjoy one another. Withholding sex from one another is unscriptural in the
marriage relationship, and may cause your partner to stumble in faith and commit
adultery, or be plagued with lustful thoughts and attitudes. It is degrading to
have to beg for communication of any kind including sexual communication, and
this will tear down your marriage relationship. When your partner falls into
temptation because of your unwillingness to communicate, God will hold you
responsible. When your mate is too tired, etc., render due benevolence as you
would in any other type of communication, and wait for a better time.
There
is nothing in the Bible that condemns a variety of techniques or expression in a
marriage relationship, as long as both parties find it pleasurable. When there
is difference of taste, both partners should pray and ask the Lord to change and
adjust their desire. To do this, you must both be willing to work together and
allow the Lord to change you.
Our
feelings towards one another can either enhance or detract from our sexual
relationship. I asked a group of men and women, what do you do to enhance your
sex life. Here are some of the answers that I received:
Make
it a priority to listen to one another during the day.
Leave
your work at the office.
Do
your best to be clean and pleasing in appearance for your partner.
Look
for and acknowledge your partner’s positive qualities.
Be
specific. Don’t be demanding, instead lift the other individual up and put
their needs first.
Show
your love by doing special things for one another during the day.
Plan
for a good sex life by finding times that are good for both parties.
