BEFORE GOD INSTITUTED MARRIAGE, He prepared a Home for the Couple. It was an outdoor home. The open Sky was the roof. There were no concrete walls, bars of iron and gates of bronze. Ornamental and aromatic trees and herbs and fruit bearing trees surrounded the Lovebirds. No palace anywhere on earth compares with it. That outdoor home we’ve all come to know as the Garden of Eden. According to researchers, this garden was as vast as three countries merged together. It was so vast that four rivers coursed or flowed through it! And you suppose that Adam and Eve were to stay confined to one small part of it from year to year? Of course not. Adam’s job of “dressing and keeping” the massive garden(Genesis 2:15) would not be done, if they stayed continually in one part of the garden. So it’s obvious they moved their “base” from one part of the luxurious garden to another to fulfill their assignments.
The point here is that right from the Beginning, the Romantic Life of Couples wasn’t designed to be confined to one spot.
Our anchor scripture shows us that right from ancient times, married couples who took their love lives seriously didn’t live it within the four walls of a house CONTINUALLY. The Spouses in our anchor scripture are a good example. They lived in the City but decided to go for a breath of fresh air in the country side for a change.
We saw in yesterday’s devotional piece that when your home grows(as it should) to house more people, you would have to wisely manage your “Sounds Of Love” which are actually beneficial to your intimacy because they
fuel your “conjugal fires”. But when you’re at home, you must exercise DISCRETION and reduce those beautiful sounds to hushed whispers for the sake of decency and modesty. However, it becomes your duty to sometimes prepare ahead of time and then, like the couple in our anchor scripture: “Go forth into the field…lodge in the villages… get up early to the vineyard… AND THERE GIVE EACH OTHER YOUR LOVES”!
It’s important that you learn to invest in your marriage to make it stronger, sweeter, richer and younger. Like the Spouses in our anchor scripture, you can plan to once in awhile go on a “Love Tour’, “Love Weekend” or whatever name you may choose to call it. The important thing is to get to a new, safe and beautiful environment like a Hotel or a Christian Guest House, where just the two of you will be alone once again as at the beginning of your marriage and give each other your “LOVES” in unrestrained measures. In this new environment you can freely be your selves again and make all the “Sounds Of Love” you want. And why not?
Many years ago, while working on a musical production in the city of Jos, I lodged in one of the fine Christian Guest Houses that adorn that beautiful landscape. I was fast asleep until I was awoken by the moaning sounds of a woman. The moaning sounds, which was coming from the adjoining chalet continued for quite awhile until it ebbed out. “In Christian Guest House?” you ask. Yes, in a Christian Guest House of course. So, what’s wrong with a Christian Couple “coming away” to a clean Christian Guest House to be free to express their God-given sexual natures? Hear one of the Lovers in the Songs of Solomon:
“Arise, my love, my fair one, and COME AWAY.”(Songs of Solomon 2:13c). There comes a time when Spouses need to COME AWAY; that is, get apart from the “crowd” in their home and be alone to experience and express their full “love-natures”.
Back to the lady who was moaning in the Guest House. The next morning, I saw her and we even talked briefly. She was a dignified, responsible and respectable career woman, who was expressing herself at the peak of high sexual ecstasy.
Dearly Beloved, the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. And that includes the entire hospitality industry. They are available for you to use in giving yourself and your beloved Spouse the good times that you deserve. And of course, they are not new.
Moses and his wife used a guest house on their way to Egypt(Exodus 4:24). Joseph and Mary would have lodged in a Guest House or a Hotel when they came for the census exercise in Bethlehem but found everyone fully booked up(Luke 2:7). The good Samaritan took the wounded traveler to a hotel and there took care of him(Luke 10:34). The Hospitality industry exists to serve your marriage when you need to get apart, which you should do from time to time so that you’ll be alone to give attention to each other and to fully express your God-given love-natures.
