IN OUR ANCHOR SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY, the Lady declares that she BELONGS to her Spouse and that HE DESIRES HER.
It’s a blessing to have a Spouse in your life who relentlessly craves, hungers, and thirsts for you; and seem to never have enough of you. When you have such a partner, don’t think that they’re stupid. They’re simply captivated or addicted to you; and that’s the will of God (Proverbs 5: 19-20). Very unfortunately, some spouses are antagonistic and even angry at their mate for desiring them. Such husbands could say, “Woman, I don’t really understand you. Are you possessed? Or else, why are you always wanting to be touched, kissed, caressed and….! I just hope you won’t commit adultery one day when I’m not at home. Abeg ooh!” For a husband to say such to his wife is the height of disrespect, disregard and insolence. It also shows how ignorant he is in the area of marriage, irrespective of the number of academic credentials and professional laurels he’s garnered.
The fact that your spouse is all over you and always desirous of you doesn’t mean that they’re wayward and without self control. It’s simply an evidence that they’re in love with you while you’re unfortunately not.
Have you not read what the Bible says?
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; AND THY DESIRE SHALL BE TO THY HUSBAND, and he shall rule over thee.” (Genesis 3:16) God was telling the first Woman (Eve) that even though she would experience physical discomforts in pregnancy and pains during child birth as punishment for her Sin of eating the forbidden fruit; and would also be under the authority and rulership of her husband in marriage, yet she would be filled with the DESIRE for intimate Love with him. In other words, the strong urge for her man as implanted in her by God would remain, despite the pains the DESIRE would cause her in child birth. This has remained so. Even when a woman has been through tough labour pains, she soon forgets all that after childbirth and desires her husband again; without being begged.
Now, how about men? Do they desire women any less? Of course not. Remember that the Woman was created out of the man and it’s the blood of the man that runs in her veins. So, the woman’s desire (sex drive, passion, affection, romantic ardour, etc) were all inherited from the Man. Therefore the Man from whom she “got” her desire can’t possess a lesser quantity and quality of DESIRE for her. Just like the Spouse of the Lady in our anchor scripture, every man should exhibit a strong and pulsating desire for his wife.
What a good appetite is to eating and living a sound and healthy life is what DESIRE is to married couples. You have to have it all the time. You can not have a strong and happy marriage without it.
When a man or woman loses their appetite for food, it’s never a cause for celebration. The family won’t rejoice that less money would be spent on food in the home. Rather, it’s a cause for concern because it signals a negative health condition that requires immediate remedy. Similarly, a lack of desire for your husband or wife is a sign that something is wrong with YOU as a Spouse and that you need urgent “marital treatment”.
It is an honour to have a God-given husband or wife who endlessly craves your body, your attention and your companionship. It’s high honour and you ought to celebrate this God-given person that’s in your life rather than despising them and making them feel stupid for intensely loving and desiring you.
Some women tell their Husbands, “Mr Man, you’re really not normal; you need deliverance. You’re an Elder in Church and you can not even control yourself. There’s a spirit of Lust disturbing you!” The Wife who says such to her husband insults him.
Listen carefully, Dear Spouses. There’s nothing like lust between you and your lawful husband or wife.
LUST is the craving for what you should not have. It’s the desire for what you have no legitimate rights to. When David saw Uriah’s Wife and earnestly desired to sleep with her, that was Lust. When Potiphar’s wife longed to sleep with Joseph, that was Lust. But a strong craving for your body by your spouse isn’t Lust. It’s a righteous desire that you must be happy about even when you may not be able to meet them sometimes for cogent reasons.
In closing, let’s take a look at our anchor scripture again:
“I AM MY BELOVED’S, AND HIS DESIRE IS TOWARD ME.” (Song of Solomon 7:10) Here the Lady affirms that she belongs to her Spouse and that he had an abiding DESIRE for her person. This is exactly what it should be. In Marriage, Spouses BELONG TO EACH OTHER and desiring each other increasingly and intensely is only natural, normal and right.
