IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE TO TEACH ON THE SUBJECT OF MARRIAGE at a church conference some time in 2016. A vast majority of the audience was made up of married couples. Only few matured Singles were permitted attendance. When it was “Questions Time”, ALL THE QUESTIONS WITHOUT EXCEPTION WERE ON SEX! Meanwhile, I spoke on other aspects of marriage in the course of the ministration. And that’s not the only time I’ve experienced this. It simply proves that God’s precious people are starved of knowledge in this crucial area of marriage.
It’s St. Augustine who said: “It Is Not Right For Us To Be Ashamed To Call By Their Names, The Things That God Was Not Ashamed To Create.” Right as he obviously is, we must even go beyond the boldness to call the sexual parts of the body by name when necessary. We must teach the whole counsel of God on Sexual Intimacy And Fulfillment In Marriage because silence on this subject has given the enemy a field day to cause havoc in the sheepfold of Christ, maiming many and sending some to early graves!
Dear Spouses, please, have you ever sat down and given thought to finding out why God calls Sexual Intimacy in Marriage WATER?(Prov.5:15-17) He didn’t call it Gold, Diamond, Ruby, Onyx, or Sapphire. His calling it WATER is a deep message in itself.
Do you know that we live more on WATER than we do on Food? We only eat food. But Water? We drink it, we bathe with it, we use it to wash our clothes, homes, dishes, toilets, cars, etc, etc. Important as Food is, without Water no food can be cooked! So we cook with water before we can eat. The rains that water and grow our farms and plantations is Water. The next fact may shock you: the human body is made up mostly of WATER! So our lives depends unarguably on Water. In other words, without Water we are dead.
So when God calls Sex WATER, it’s obvious that it’s the very staff of Life for your marriage. Your union must have plenty of it and frequently too.
De-prioritizing or de-emphasizing Sex in your marriage is like choosing to drink a few spoonfulls of Water once every three days. When you do so, not only are you placing your union at needless risk, you’re also placing your very lives as a couple in great jeopardy.
God never calls Sex DRUGS even though it’s highly medicinal. You don’t feed on drugs. He calls it WATER because you need to freely have it with each other just as you freely drink physical water without measuring or counting how many cups you’ve drunk.
Dear Wife, it’s one of your fundamental rights in marriage to enjoy thrilling, ecstatic and satisfying sex on constant basis. If this isn’t what you’re experiencing, politely and respectfully tell your husband in the privacy of your bedroom that you’re not enjoying it. Don’t feel it’s an insult to tell him so because it’s not. That’s frank communication. He won’t know unless you tell him. And husband don’t be offended if your wife tells you she’s not being enjoying the Acts. Marriage is a school and we are all learners. No husband has reached the zenith of sexual knowledge. So, don’t be offended. Listen to her suggestions and use them and see what happens.
Dear Husband, if your wife isn’t making herself available to you as often as she should, don’t get angry and storm out of the house to find sexual satisfaction elsewhere. Many who took that rash step in anger are dead already; many of them dying in utter disgrace and regrets. You certainly don’t want to be in that number, do you? So, open up and tell her that you want more of her.
From time to time, sit down as a couple and talk about your bedroom life. Be honest and sincere with each other. Madam, tell him how you want your Body touched. Patiently teach him how to handle you in bed.
Husband, voice out your own feelings. Let her know what you need her to do for you in the bedroom.
Nevertheless, you must both avoid making demands for any sexual Acts that are ungodly, unhealthy or that your Mate sees as repulsive and unwelcome to them.
Godliness and Righteousness must rule in your Bedroom Life.
