🪘🎸🪗Dear Married Couples,
The massive Love Energy you were born with was not meant to find expression only through penetrative intimacy. It is meant to find outlet through each of your other senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, and feeling.
🪘🎸🪗Long ago, the late Dr. Don Odunze—Founder of Family Circle Ministries in Enugu, Nigeria, and a pioneer marriage and family life teacher—observed that most marriages suffer from an over-emphasis on coitus at the expense of other leisurely, yet highly effective, methods of enjoying each other in the union. He was perfectly right.
🪘🎸🪗In addition to what we taught yesterday, we are looking at other ways of harnessing your Love Energy so you do not depend on coitus (penetrative sex) alone. They’re methods I call: “Matrimonial Tourism” and “Lovescapades”.
🪘🎸🪗(1) MATRIMONIAL TOURISM
Every year, thousands of couples travel to different tourist spots across the globe: archaeological sites, museums, zoos, and wildlife parks. They obtain visas and endure various rigors to see these places. But behold, they have forgotten that the most fascinating sight—with it’s hundreds of jaw-dropping details—is the naked body of their mate?
🪘🎸🪗THE GREATEST TOURIST ATTRACTION!
If mountains, museums, and game reserves are interesting tourist sites, then you must realize that you have the greatest tourist attraction right under your own roof: your spouse, whom God created in His image and likeness! In this regard, we should consider the first couple.
🪘🎸🪗What do you think of Adam? Do you suppose that after his powerful speech in Genesis 2:23, he simply went about his daily routine, oblivious to the stunning presence of the glorious Beauty beside him? Certainly not!
🪘🎸🪗As a full-grown, “sex-alive” male, he was high with excitement and curiosity about the fascinating body of his new wife. No sooner had God blessed them than he proceeded to get close to her, enjoying the glorious sight of her feminine charms. Eve was equally fascinated by his body. This did not end on their first day; they took a “tour” of each other’s bodies again and again.
🪘🎸🪗GO ON “LOVE TOUR”!
Similarly, one of the ways to harness your love energy is by touring each other’s bodies.
🪘🎸🪗It is unfortunate that many husbands, even after 40 years of marriage, still do not know which part of their wife’s body is the AREOLA, let alone the Clitoris. Likewise, some wives have never watched their husbands gain an erection. Why? Because they have never toured each other’s bodies in the light of day.
🪘🎸🪗Dearly Beloved, if you have never seen your spouse’s naked body in the daylight, then you have never truly seen them. Marriage is such a significant, solemn and sacred covenant union that you need to see what your spouse looks like in broad daylight. Viewing each other closely and often will protect both of you from the “lust of the eyes”, which some now refer to as “Lookery”!
🪘🎸🪗(2)”LOVESCAPADES”
You are probably wondering about the word “LOVESCAPADES.” It is a coinage of mine.
🪘🎸🪗You are likely familiar with the word “escapade,” which means an exciting and unconventional adventure. We are drawing on that meaning to communicate a vital truth: in marriage, you must not be tied down by rigid traditions. There is so much room for adventure and the discovery of new, thrilling ways to enjoy each other!
🪘🎸🪗We often reserve our “wow” for things behind a velvet rope or at the top of a mountain peak, forgetting that the person we share a bed with is a literal masterpiece of biological and personal history. It’s time to enjoy each other by “LOVESCAPADES”: leisurely adventures of romantic discoveries!
🪘🎸🪗USING THE EDENIC LENS
Viewing your spouse’s body through the “Edenic lens”—where curiosity replaces critique—changes the entire dynamic of a relationship. It shifts the gaze from “What needs to be fixed?” to “What is there to be marveled at?”
🪘🎸🪗Why does the “close look” matter? Because your spouse’s body isn’t a silhouette or an artwork on canvas; it is a living record. The stretch marks on a wife’s waist, the laugh lines on a husband’s face, and the unique texture of their skin are the “archaeology” of your life together. Noticing them is a way of honoring the journey you have shared.
🪘🎸🪗A SWEET COLONY
Society teaches us to look at bodies with a judgmental, comparative eye. By creating a private culture of admiration, spouses build a “sweet colony of love” where external pressures do not apply. Taking the time to study your partner—the way one might study a fine painting—is a form of mindfulness. It communicates that your partner is worth every second of your undivided attention.
🪘🎸🪗In Eden, Adam didn’t just glance at Eve. Again and again, they gazed at each other in wonder. In your marriage, you should practice the “Edenic Gaze.” To cultivate this sense of wonder, treat these moments with the same intentionality as a trip to a world-class art gallery:
* Don’t be in a rush. Just as you wouldn’t sprint through a museum, this kind of looking requires you to slow down.
* Explore thoroughly. No part is too “secret” to view affectionately.
* Voice out your appreciation: As you view the amazing spectacle of your mate, announce the “jaw-dropping details” you see! Doing this reinforces mutual body confidence and builds a lasting bond.
