ONLY YESTERDAY, I HEARD A PREACHER NARRATE his experience with Spiritual Dryness. Gradually, his appetite for spiritual things dropped to zero! Thank God he was sensitive enough withdraw from “circulation” and have personal retreats with God; and his spiritual life roared back to life.
Today, thousands of married couples, though still living under the same roof, are miles apart and their passion and craving for each other is almost nil. To make matters worse, they don’t even know the dangers it portends.
Our anchor scripture for today is short yet carries powerful truths. The first part states the fact that in Marriage you and your Spouse belong to each other. The second part shows us the very engine of marriage: DESIRE. It’s Desire that brought you together. It’s what made you cleave to each other and you became ONE FLESH.
When your desire for each other nosedives, something is wrong. It’s like you experiencing the loss of appetite. You don’t smile and thank God that it’s good, since it will help you to eat less and save money, do you? Rather you’re alarmed and you head for the hospital to see your Doctor.
Similarly, when your husband or wife’s Body which is your “Love Food And Love Water” irritates you instead of exciting your romantic, sensual and sexual appetite, you’re maritally ill and need treatment. Thankfully, the Love Medicine for your ailments are right with you.
It’s possible that your Spouse’s misbehavior or unkind words have wounded your spirit and turned off your passion for them. When this is the case, it’s important that you call them and tell them their faults rather than keeping silent. Jesus said:
“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, GO AND TELL HIM HIS FAULT between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”(Matthew 18:15)
Sometimes, your loss of appetite for each other are traceable to fear, anxieties and concerns over challenges. Well, you need to understand that allowing troubles to shut down your appetite for each other isn’t wise. It’s like refusing to eat and drink for upwards of five days because you’re faced with problems. Starving yourself isnβt the solution. Besides, it endangers your health. Similarly, abstaining from romance and sexual intimacy because you have challenges isn’t good for you. Live your full romantic life, pray and commit your needs in God’s hand, do the needful and everything will turn out right because GOD will answer your prayers.
