IT DOESN’T MATTER WHETHER YOU’VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 7 OR 70 YEARS; the truth is, your Spouse will find you MORE DESIRABLE AND MORE ENJOYABLE when you look lovely, smell sweet, feel smooth to the touch and are a delight to spend time with.
One word summarizes what Marriage is all about; and that word was not spoken by Man. It was spoken by God who instituted Marriage. That word is CLEAVE (Genesis 2: 24).
Marriage is the CLEAVING TOGETHER of a matured man and a matured woman. Cleaving is much more than just standing closely beside each other. Literally, it means to hugging and embrace one another very tightly and this brings the Spouses into such a close contact that they SEE, FEEL, SMELL, HEAR and TASTE one another. And this why COMPLETE CLEANLINESS AND ATTRACTIVENESS ARE BOTH PRIMARY AND COMPULSORY IN MARRIAGE.
Therefore, DAILY MAKE YOURSELF SO CLEAN, SO SWEET, AND SO FRAGRANT, that your Spouse could freely take a TOTAL TOUR of your ENTIRE BODY, without you feeling embarrassed!
There are many husbands who were “complete gentlemen” when they were “still searching” for a wife to marry. And throughout courtship, they were a delight to behold and to be with you. But not long after their wedding, they forgot all they knew about looking good and being fun to live with. This ought not to be so, Sir.
In some marriages, it’s the woman that has made this costly mistake. When she was in the campus christian fellowship, she was always super-clean and well dressed. Such was her appearance and comportment that many in the fellowship called her “Woman of God”, which she didn’t mind but rather cherished. But two years after saying “I DO”, she’s such a changed lady that her former campus christian brethren wonder at how she transformed into a dirty and wild woman that nags and henpecks her husband.
Spouses, you need to all times be mindful of the basic nature and demands of your callings as married persons. The following Scripture reveals that:
“MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE IN ALL, AND THE BED UNDEFILED” (Hebrews 13:4)
This Scripture above tells us two very important things about Marriage:
(1) IT IS AN ESTATE OF HONOUR, UPLIFTMENT AND EXALTATION
Perhaps, you didn’t know this before, but as a Servant of God, I owe you the duty to tell you.
Your getting married is comparable to being appointed to a high and lofty public or government office; say the office the Minister of Education. Once appointed to such a highly respectable position, you know that you must be super-clean, well dressed and of good conduct all the time. Even if you were ordinarily an easily provoked individual that didn’t mind fighting in the streets, this appointment automatically changes all of that. You know that you’ve entered a new phase of your life where your dressing and behaviour must line up with your new position, new titles, and new image in the society. This is exactly how Marriage is. Just as the Minister of Education must dress well round the clock, so must you.
In your relationship with your Spouse, cleanliness isn’t an important option. IT’S COMPULSORY!!! Let your Mate have you looking good and attractive round the clock.
(2) MARRIAGE IS THE ESTATE IN WHICH YOU STRIP COMPLETELY NAKED AND GIVE YOURSELF TO YOUR MATE IN COVENANT LOVE AS THEIR LOVE MEAL.
Marriage is the one and only place that God ordained for you to give yourself to a member of the opposite sex for their constant sexual nourishment and vice versa. In other words, YOU ARE THE “SEXUAL FOOD” OF YOUR SPOUSE.
Now, if you visit a fine looking restaurant for a meal and find out that the plates, cup and cutleries they served you with are dirty and even giving off some mild but nonetheless offensive odour, would you eat the meal? No. You’ll instantly protest. Even if you don’t protest but manage to eat the food because you’re badly hungry; you’ll when leaving vow never to set foot there again.
Marriage is that one and only place where you serve someone sexual nourishment. This nourishment is your body. Therefore, YOUR BODY should be totally clean all the time. Your mouth must well brushed and free of bad odour; your fingers well filed, your beard well shaved(this is for men) and your genital area PERFECTLY CLEAN.
(3) “HIS MOUTH IS MOST SWEET: YEA, HE IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY. THIS IS MY BELOVED, AND THIS IS MY FRIEND, O DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM.” (Song of Solomon 5: 16)
Marriage makes you and your Spouse more than just merely married. According to the verse immediately above, it makes you LOVERS AND FRIENDS!
In other words, in marriage, your Wife is your Girlfriend and your husband is your Boyfriend. That consciousness should be in each of you constantly.
Yes, you may already have children and grandchildren but the fact remains that YOU ARE LOVERS AND FRIENDS. Therefore, always relate with each other as such.
Marriage is an estate of high honour that demands that you be always squeaky clean. It’s also an estate of endless romantic and sexual love. Therefore, be always attractive and desirable to each other.
🍷🍗 TAKE-HOME LESSON: CLEANLINESS AND ATTRACTIVENESS ARE NONNEGOTIABLE IN MARRIAGE. BE ALWAYS CLEAN AND SEDUCTIVE TO YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE.
