Enriching Matrimonies

IN MARRIAGE NO OLD AGE, NO RETIREMENT. DON’T LET YOUR SPOUSE’S APPEARANCE DECEIVE YOU…

Scripture:
‘AND MIRIAM AND AARON SPAKE AGAINST MOSES BECAUSE OF THE ETHIOPIAN WOMAN WHOM HE HAD MARRIED: FOR HE HAD MARRIED AN ETHIOPIAN WOMAN.’
(NUMBERS 12: 1)

MOSES BEGAN HIS MINISTRY AS A PROPHET at the age of 80.

As a Minister of God his work was highly demanding and full of opposition from the people he served.

But here’s the point: All these difficulties did not in anyway diminish his romantic powers nor cause his sexual ardour to decline! Yes, he was obviously elderly and a deeply spiritual man but his natural passion, affection and positive concupiscence WERE FULLY INTACT AND STRONG! And that’s why he could take a new Wife even though he was often engrossed in the great task of trekking long distances as he led God’s people to the Land of Promise.

 

The lesson in all these is: God has given each one of us A VERY STRONG, VIGOROUS AND LONG LASTING LOVE LIFE that’s fully “equipped” to serve us all through Life; no matter how challenging our vocation or profession may be.

 

If Moses had enough romantic drive, urge, and stamina to marry a new wife at a very advanced age, why would Spouses who are just 65, 70 or 80 call themselves “Old” and feel they have outgrown Sex, kissing, embracing and all the other beautiful, covenant privileges of matrimony while their Spouse is still alive? Taking such a position isn’t only wrong and unwise but an open invitation to the devil to attack you and your Spouse with extramarital affairs. This is especially if your Mate does not buy into your awkward “Old Age” idea.

 

Recently, I read a story that made me concerned about husbands who leave the door of their marriage open for the devil to leisurely walk in and defile their union.

There is housewife in her mid sixties and her husband considers her an “Old Woman” but she knows and believes that she’s not an Old Woman. He would abandon her at home for whole months as he crisscrosses the globe on business trips. It wasn’t easy living all alone in a home that was already “An Empty Nest” because the children had all grown and left. After over one year of being left without Sexual intimacy, she gradually “found love” in the arms of another man. Even though her husband sees her as a Granny, which she truly is, the reality according to her, is that her Sex drive is still as vigorous as when they were newly married. But he unwisely concluded that she was OLD and had no need for affectionate attention anymore. So, who do you blame?

 

Dear Spouses, the Marriage Covenant makes you and your Mate ONE FLESH; and all the “One Flesh Duties” of Marriage are obligations you continually owe each other until death brings your union to and end.

 

You have no grounds to assume that your Mate is “Old” and to therefore neglect their romantic and sexual welfare.

 

Don’t think that because you’ve both become grandparents or even great grandparents you can afford to overlook the romantic and sexual needs of your Spouse. No.

 

Continually serve each other romantically and sexually. In marriage, there’s no old age or retirement. Not in any of it’s departments.
