WHEN A PERSON LOVES FOOD so much and habitually overeats, he has a name. He’s called a Glutton.

When a person drinks alcohol so much that he becomes a slave to it, he’s called a Drunkard or a Winebibber.

When a person loves money so much that he is willing to go to any length to get it, he’s called a greedy man, covetous man or an Idolater.

But how so beautiful that there’s no negative name for Spouses who freely make love with each other everyday. There’s no culture or clime that has yet found a derogatory term to tag such gracious covenant Lovers. Why? Because it’s no offense to make love with one’s spouse as many times as both desire. There is nothing unwholesome about them making love ten or more times everyday!

To make the whole scenario even more beautiful is the fact that in God’s Word, God commanded newly married couples in Israel to be given a one year honeymoon holiday during which they’d be exempted from all national and communal duties for one singular purpose: to give themselves to each other for sexual thrills and romantic satisfaction!(Deuteronomy 24:5). With such a divine fiat in God’s own nation, who dare give an evil name to couples who live the lovey-dovey life of ceaseless romance?

Furthermore, God’s Word names sex in marriage “Water”!(Proverbs 5:15). Is there any bad name for someone who drinks much water? No!

And in giving the gift of sexual intimacy to Spouses, God leaves them to decide on the frequency. In other words it’s up to every couple to determine the frequency of their lovemaking.

Now, with such a glorious liberty given to married couples, why aren’t couple’s making love extravagantly? Instead, we see the opposite: sexual starvation, sexual hypocrisy and pretence as well as infidelity.

(1) STARVING YOUR SPOUSE OF SEX IS FORBIDDEN

God forbids Spouses refusing each other Sex except when they’re on a mutually agreed period of fasting.

“Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.”(1 Corinthians 7: 5).

If we profess that we are Christians, then we must not be guilty of denying our marriage Partner of Sex. When you do, know that you’re sinning.

(2) SEXUAL HYPOCRISY AND PRETENCE
Some Spouses suppress their sexual feelings, desire and appetite towards their mate to “make a statement” and to give the impression of being disciplined, pious or highly moral, while in the real and true sense, they’re not. They only end up frustrating their mate who finds them cold sexually all because they are dramatizing a holiness they do not have and that does not exist.

It’s just like the case of some people who attend a wedding and they’re served full plates of sumptuous meals only for the host to later find most of the food uneaten as the pretending guests eat only a few spoonfuls and leave the rest in the plate to waste. The host definitely won’t be happy.

Meanwhile, those ungrateful guests are poor and can’t even feed well in their homes, but come to someone’s party to pretend that they’re full. It’s hypocrisy. That’s what a Spouse that suppresses their appetite to impress their partner is doing. It’s stinky hypocrisy!

(3) INFIDELITY.
It’s a well known fact that infidelity is common place in our time. It’s so widespread that people instead of calling it by it’s true name, Adultery, now merely call it “Cheating”.

Well, God isn’t deceived. He still calls it Adultery. His word authoritatively declares that He will judge those who indulge in adultery:

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: BUT WHOREMONGERS AND ADULTERERS GOD WILL JUDGE.”(Hebrews 13: 4)

Just in case you don’t know, the promised judgement in the verse above isn’t necessarily in eternity. Many have had it delivered to them in full measure here in this present life(Proverbs 5:8-14).

If God has graciously and very liberally furnished us with the blessing of sexual intimacy to enjoy as freely as we please in marriage and without giving us any form of limits, why would you be denying your mate, pretending or even going into infidelity? When you do any of these three, you’re inviting divine wrath and judgement upon yourself. Make no mistake about that.
