SEXUAL MALNUTRITION IN MARRIAGE

Scripture:
‘The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but TO THE HUNGRY SOUL EVERY BITTER THING IS SWEET.’
(Proverbs 27:7)

THE KIND OF POVERTY MOST PEOPLE are aware of is financial or material poverty.

However, there are other forms of poverty and one of them is Sexual Poverty. Unfortunately, many married couples are suffering from this form of poverty. They are properly married but there’s little or no Sex in their union. And what are the consequences of such low consumption of Sex or sexual malnutrition? It’s the fulfillment of the words of the second half of our anchor scripture: a great hunger ensues, driving the sexually famished mate to eat bitter things on the sexual dung hill. The “Bitter things” are adultery, fornication, pornography, paedophilia, etc.

Let’s face the truth: no one goes into extramarital affairs without knowing that it’s wrong. No husband or wife will go through the shameful process of removing their tops and underwear without knowing that they’re doing something very gravely sinful. No married woman entices an underaged school boy without knowing that it’s undignifying. Nonetheless, many do these things as a result of extreme sexual starvation; because their spouses care less about their sexual wellbeing.

There are husbands who are married to well endowed wives who have literally every bodily feature they crave for in women. But sadly, their wife sternly forbids them from touching those parts they so much cherish. And as a result they resort to infidelity to find what they are denied at home.

Similarly, there are wives who have handsome husbands to whom they have little or no access sexually. Yet he’s not polygamous. He simply believes that sex should be VERY MINIMAL in marriage.

In some marriages, it isn’t even that there’s low or nil Sex. The problem is that one Spouse is so selfish and at the same time tyrannical. This authoritarian spouse insists on Lovemaking being done in one position ALWAYS. And so the couple has used only one position for the past 10 years non stop; against all the reasonable complaints and entreaties of the Spouse who’s tired of that posture. It’s like being in a home where there are diverse kinds of foodstuff but one partner insists they must eat only jolof rice always; and as a result they’ve fed on jolof rice only for the past 10 years. It shouldn’t come as a surprise when the partner that’s sick and tired of eating the monotonous meals chooses to walk into a restaurant one day to eat a hearty meal of pounded yam for a change.

Some ask their Mate who wants sexual intimacy all so often if it’s food. “Is Sex food? Is Sex food?”, they query? Sir/Madam, sexual intimacy is much more than food. It’s Water and that’s what God’s holy and inerrant Word calls it. WATER! And we all know that we consume water many more times on any given day than we do food.

Please, read the piece of research information below. I believe you’ll find it both interesting and useful at this point in time:

“Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to Mitchell and others (1945), the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.”

When God’s Word says that spouses are ONE FLESH, do you know that they are ONE BODY? If the physical body is dominantly made of Water, do you expect the matrimonial ONE FLESH/ONE BODY to have less of it’s own Water which is Sex?

As there’s far more Water in the physical body than anything else, so also should there be much more Sex in marriages than anything else.
