KNOWING YOUR SPOUSE
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Genesis 4:1
Did you know that lack of sexual satisfaction has become one of the leading causes of divorce, even in the church? In times past, couples were prepared to endure lack of sexual satisfaction in their marriages but as a result of exposure to other cultures and information from across the world, people are no longer willing to endure.
Unfortunately, sex is a Taboo in churches and there is not enough education on sex in the church. Couples are turning to other sources of information and getting bare falsehoods, half truths and demonic information designed to deceive and enslave them.
If God created man, he must be responsible for giving them sexual organs, This must mean that he wanted them to engage in sexual activity. Unfortunately, no one turns to the Bible for answers when they have challenges in the area of sex in marriage.
The word “know” in our theme scripture is from the Hebrew word yawda and it means observation, care and recognition. The challenge with folks is that many don’t know that without authentic information on sex, there will be great frustration in the bedroom. Pornographic materials and self styled sexologists are dangerous.
Obviously, men and women are different, they don’t look alike and they function differently when it comes to sex in marriage. Secondly, no two men or two women are the same when it comes to sexual preferences. Couples have to be open and unashamed and they must discuss and agree on sexual preferences. You can’t assume that your husband should know what to do in bed. You have to tell them.
I always laugh when anyone complains that their spouse is not good in bed. No one is born a great lover. Everyone had to learn what they know, mostly by experience. Since sex outside marriage is a sin, folks have to start learning about the sexual preferences of their spouses after marriage. You learn by experimentation and patience.
Sex in marriage is important because it has the capacity to cause couples to bond. The benefits of regular sex are enormous. Sex is also known to cure some health challenges. Finally, let me end by saying that women are also interested in and they can enjoy sex when the couple do it right.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord Jesus for opening my eyes of understanding in the area of sex in marriage. I will commit myself to getting to know my spouse as we openly discuss our sexual preferences and pursue information about how to enjoy sex in marriage.
