Enriching Matrimonies

HAPPILY ALLOWING YOUR SPOUSE FULL AND FREE ACCESS TO YOUR BODY

Scripture:
‘(1) The wife does not rule over her own body to decide when to have sex. She belongs to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not rule over his own body. He belongs to his wife. (EASY) (2) The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. (CEB) (3) The wife is not in charge of her own body, but her husband is; likewise, the husband is not in charge of his own body, but his wife is. (CJB)’
(1 CORINTHIANS 7: 4)

IN YESTERDAY’S DEVOTIONAL PIECE, we saw God’s command to us not be conformed to the world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

 

To enjoy your marriage to the fullest you need a RENEWED MIND. A renewed mind is different and higher than an enlightened or an educated mind because it’s endued with God’s Grace to see things from God’s perspective and to discern spiritual things.

 

Marriage doesn’t make Spouses one spirit; it makes them ONE FLESH. And that’s why the BODY has so much to do in the life of Spouses. And for many Spouses, the body played a major role in attracting them to each other in the first place.

 

Now, there are marriages where one Spouse is almost always against bodily interactions in form of being touched, hugged, embraced, caressed, kissed or fondled outside the time of sexual intimacy. Such Spouses would say something like: “I’ve told you times without number not to be touching me outside the time of intimacy. Must you touch me? Can’t you rest without touching me? Are you a child? Can’t you control yourself?” Spouses who talk like this do not understand Marriage. Your Spouse’s touching you is no mark of indiscipline or lack of self-control on their part but rather an evidence of the overflow of their affection for you. They see other men/women in the course of the day but abhor touching them. They touch you because they love you and because you’re theirs in the covenant of marriage. Their touching you should make you know that you’re attractive to them rather than making you angry.

 

Our anchor scripture authoritatively declares that upon getting married, you forfeited your exclusive control of your body and your Mate now has full rights of access to your body for sexual, sensual, visual and olfactory delights: twenty-four hours of the day! That’s why the relationship is ONE FLESH. If instead of a happy compliance with our anchor scripture you’re irritated with your Spouse touching you, then you shouldn’t have married in the first place. Marriage is a BODY RELATIONSHIP. It has been like that since the Beginning. That’s why God set Adam and Eve in the nude: because they needed to see, touch, feel, taste and enjoy the aroma of each other’s body!

 

The naked human body is the most beautiful and the most fascinating sight to behold under the Sun. And God has placed in every man/woman the desire to see the beauty of the body of the opposite Sex with the divine intent that this curiosity be satisfied ONLY in the covenant bond of Marriage.

 

Dearly Beloved, your body belongs to your Husband/Wife. Allow them access by giving obedience to our anchor scripture for today. That scripture is not a suggestion, it’s a command from the Lord Who instituted Marriage.

 

Throw away the taboos, myths, customs, traditions, culture, and every other hindrances that have made you block your Spouse from freely accessing your body all along. Release your bodies freely to each other from now forward.

 

🔥🔥🔥CREATIVE DECREES: Let the Light of the knowledge of God’s Word on Marriage greatly flood your heart and mind to renew your matrimony and transform your relationship with each other!!!⚡

 

Let the Power of God break out in your Marriage, crushing and scattering everything limiting your mutual Love lives from growing taller, bigger and stronger!!!⚡

 

🍷🍗 TAKE-HOME LESSON: Marriage is a covenant one flesh life. Always allow your Spouse free and full access to your Body. It’s a mark of maturity in marriage.
