Develop Your Sexual Relationship
|
Develop a mutually comfortable sexual relationship. There
are Christians that feel the sexual relationship between husband and wife is,
in some way, dirty, unwholesome, unhealthy, and should be enjoyed
as little as possible, and seldom, if ever, discussed. There is
no basis for these thoughts in the Bible. The Bible presents
the marriage relationship as a sexual relationship. The
expression, "become one flesh"
is made in reference to
the sexual relationship. The apostle Paul makes
it clear that neither the husband nor the wife should fail to
provide for the sexual needs of the
other.
Solomon instructed his son to rejoice with the wife of his youth and to
be "enraptured" with her love and only her
love.
The Bible has very
specific and complete commands concerning the types of sexual
relationship that God says are sin; yet, none of these commands
prohibit any type of sexual stimulation within the sexual
relationship between a married husband and wife.

wife according to knowledge.
God says the wife is to reverence her
husband.
Between a husband
and wife, who love each other, and are expressing this love
sexually, "any sexual caresses or stimulations that are enjoyable
to both and not physically harmful to either, are acceptable
to God." Remember, the most important consideration in love
is: "what is in the best interest of the other."

1 Corinthians 7:1-5
1 Now concerning the things of which you wrote
to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless,
because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and
let each woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render to
his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her
husband.

4 The wife does not have authority over her own body,
but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have
authority over his own body, but the wife does.
5 Do not deprive
one another except with consent for a time, that you may give
yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that
Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

her love.
