ONE OF THE MEANS OF KEEPING your marriage fresh and thrilling is using the power of Love that’s in your hands. Put another way, this means using the power of TOUCH.
Apostle Paul speaking in our anchor scripture authoritatively declared that it is not good for men to touch women outside the bond of Marriage. Why? Because there’s the release of amorous and erotic power through touch. Merely touching a woman who’s not your wife could trigger a chain of erotic events that you may not be able to control!
If TOUCH is so powerful outside of marriage, it means it’s as powerful between Spouses; if not much more. But sadly, many couples carry this power around for years but never use it outside the hurried time of copulation.
While you cannot use “the key parts” of your “Marriage Body” outside the hour or hours of sexual intimacy, you’re always as free as the breeze to use your hands to keep the fire of your marriage burning. How do you do this? Here’s how:
(1) BY THE USE OF PATS
The Dictionary defines PAT as: to touch gently with the flat of the hand. You could give your Spouse a PAT on the shoulder, on the back, on the cheek, on the waist, on the thigh and for your wife in particular, on the buttocks.
PATS, like all the other forms of marital touches, speaks eloquently and communicate definite messages. Every touch signifies something. They could communicate approval, love, appreciation, gratitude, encouragement, sexual desire, etc.
Learn to use this free gift to bless each other, set each other on romantic fire and to lift up one another’s spirit in the course of the day.
(2) HOLDING HANDS.
When was the last time you and your Spouse held hands? Maybe twenty-five years ago when you were honeymooners. And what have you now become that you feel holding hands is now old fashioned? It’s not maritally wise to stop any of the practices you used at the beginning of your marriage that helped you.
Today you joyfully hold office files, laptops, money, books, plates, cutleries, car keys, etc but you won’t touch or hold your Mate’s hand except in the dead of the night during the hour of intimacy!
Not the best, Sir/Ma!
Marriage is a School from which we never graduate. God is using this Devotional piece to give you fresh instructions, one of which is that you and your Spouse should begin to sit together and hold hands from time to time. I hear someone saying “But the children will be gazing at us and it will be so awkward and embarrassing.” No! It should not be embarrassing for the kids to see you merely holding hands. Instead, it will be a message to them that Daddy and Mummy now love each more than before! They’ll be happy about that.
From time to time, take an evening walk in your neighborhood holding hands. It will be a loud message to all those young Jezebels and Delilahs around you that you’re now crazily in love and there’s no room for them to achieve their desire of breaking up your marriage and home!
(3) STROKING
This consists of gentle, affectionate and light TOUCHING AND RUBBING of parts of the body of your Mate with the hand. It’s done tenderly, unhurriedly and repeatedly to give pleasure, sensual thrills and amorous delight.
In our very busy world, it’s still very important for couples to spare themselves some time to use their HANDS to minister the gift of stroking to each other without intending it to be a prelude to sexual intimacy.
(4) EMBRACING AND HUGGING.
Watch out for opportunities to use your hands in these effective ways of refueling the Fire of your marriage.
Upon returning home from work or from a journey, use your hands to draw each close for warm and affectionate embrace and hug. It recreates and renews the atmosphere of your marriage and home.
(5) FONDLING, MASSAGING AND CARESSING
These are other ways that you could use your hands to renew and refresh your marriage.
(6) AFFECTIONATE SCRATCHING AND COMBING
Another way you can use your HANDS to minister to each other in marriage is by SCRATCHING AND COMBING.
We all know what scratching is and so don’t need to present a dictionary definition.
In scratching, you use your fingers and your fingernails to scratch the parts of your Mate’s body where there are pimples or where they feel itchy. (This should not included the face, please)
Sometimes, there are parts of your Mate’s body where they’re feeling the need to be scratched with a comb or with hands and they can not do it themselves and it would not be morally proper for your children to help out. At such a time, you’re in your Partners life so your hands would handle the task.
And of course, there are times when the itchy part of your Mate’s body are accessible to their hands but they prefer that you do it because you always do it better than them. What should you do? Gladly consent and serve them with joy. That’s why you’re one flesh in marriage.
We also have what is known as Intimate Scratching and Combing. As the name indicates, it involve Spouses gently, lovingly and tenderly finger-scratching the intimate parts of one another’s body and combing the hairy parts. To avoid causing any pains during the combing, generously apply hair oils before starting and COMB VERY GENTLY. Be attentive to your Spouse whom you’re combing and obey any objections they may express. Don’t argue.
Of course, Intimate Scratching and combing MUST NEVER to be done in the sitting room or any open place in the home. It’s a love affair that belongs strictly in your bedroom and with your bedroom door fully and securely locked.
As you and your spouse practice these usage of the HANDS in marriage faithfully and continually, I am certain that your love for each other and friendship with one another will grow deeper and stronger.
There’s so much LOVE-POWER in your hands. Use it!
