Enriching Matrimonies

COUPLES’ COSTLY CARELESSNESS (PT. 2)

Scripture:
‘See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise’
(Ephesians 5:15)

💚🤎❤️🩵🧡​As a couple, you need to exercise maturity at all times and in all things. You must constantly be mindful of the fact that, even though your home belongs to you, it has also become the domicile of your children, house helps, and the dependents who live under your roof. Even more importantly, your home is not isolated in a world of its own. You live in a society where there are laws. And in some countries, excessive use of your marital liberties could suddenly put you where you do not expect.

💚🤎❤️🩵🧡​ABUSING YOUR MARITAL LIBERTIES
This means that in the exercise of your marital liberties, you must walk in discretion, wisdom, sensitivity, and knowledge to avoid being guilty of abuse. In view of these realities, watch against the following:

💚🤎❤️🩵🧡​(1) MOVING ABOUT IN FULL MORNING LIGHT WEARING A FILMY NIGHTGOWN
Dear housewife, your elegant and well-designed transparent nightgown looks great on you and makes you look so demure, graceful, feminine, and queenly. But that dress is meant to be worn in your bedroom at night. That’s why they are called “nightgowns,” “nighties,” or “nightwear.”

🤎​As you wear them at night, your beautiful and alluring looks in those hours belong to only one person: your husband. And when the night is over and you need to step out of the bedroom, take it off. Alternatively, tie a loincloth over it so your nakedness will not be seen.

💚🤎❤️🩵🧡​OVER-WISE HOUSEWIVES
Unfortunately, some housewives feel they are in such a hurry to prepare the kids for school that they rush into the kitchen carelessly wearing a filmy nightgown with no panties underneath. And when hubby calls out after her, “Please, come back and change into your casual wear!”, she rebelliously refuses and retorts, “Leave me alone. Who told you they’re seeing me? Even if they see me, it’s their own lust that’s driving them.”

❤️​When a wife behaves this way, she drags her husband’s name through the mud, shames her children, misleads them by her bad example, and sets a temptation before the men who chance upon her wearing the nightgown.

🩵​But hear this part: if she is noted for doing this regularly, she could be arrested, depending on the country. Obviously, this constitutes public indecency, and in some countries, it is unlawful and could lead to arrest.

🧡​It is good to wear a nightie, but once it is daybreak and you want to go outside with it, tie a wrapper over it so that your body will not be seen.

💚🤎❤️🩵🧡​(2) MOANING LIKE VULTURES AT NIGHT
“Marriage is honourable,” and that is the powerful and authoritative declaration of the Bible. That statement speaks about ALL aspects of the institution, including bedroom life.

🤎​But when a couple chooses to walk in indiscretion in their bedroom life and instead act wild and moan like vultures during intimacy, disturbing innocent co-tenants (not to mention their own children), they make themselves a nuisance and their children a laughingstock.

❤️​I once read of a man who had a penchant for doing this, perhaps because their children did not live with them. It was so bad that his wife became ashamed in the place where they lived. Nobody spoke to her, but she felt the stab of their icy stares. She would tell her orgiastic husband, but he would not listen.

🩵​Please note that such behavior constitutes an offense in some countries and could lead to arrest and court action. So, watch your behavior during sexual intimacy. Do not do what could earn you an eviction or an arrest by the police.

💚🤎❤️🩵🩵​(3) VULGARITY
I once made a stopover to see a believer in his family home while on my way somewhere. I was shocked while there by the indecent language of the person’s father, as he spoke at the top of his voice and named human private parts directly without consideration for how that could affect his children. Fortunately, I did not meet the Christian brother at home, so my feelings of distress at the indecent language of his father did not embarrass him.

🤎​The point here is that even though your home is all yours, and you and your spouse are free to talk as you please, it is still extremely important that you avoid indecency in communication.

❤️​If the two of you need to communicate with each other about the man-woman physiology, there is nothing wrong with that, but do so with the utmost discreetness. Use pseudonyms when speaking where the children can hear you. Otherwise, wait until you are in the bedroom behind closed doors to speak openly, and even then, ensure that you lower your voice and speak in whispers.

🩵​Why do you need to avoid vulgarity in the home? It is because it is harmful to your children. It can corrupt them and build up a stronghold of lust in them.
