UNDERSTANDING THE SEXUAL URGE IN MARRIAGE (PT. 3)

Scripture:
‘MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM’
(GENESIS 1:27c)

Dear Spouses, it’s of uttermost importance that each of you know that, God has entrusted the sexual welfare of your marriage partner to you.

That’s why the Bible says:
“Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.”(1 Corinthians 7:3; KJV).

Another translation puts it this way:

“The husband should meet his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should do the same for her husband.”(1 Corinthians 7:3; CEB)

Let’s look at what God is telling Spouses in the verse above.

Spouses are to give each other sexual intimacy.

Look closely and you’ll see that no where did God pronounce who should initiate sexual intimacy. So, it’s not the husband that should always be initiating sexual intimacy. God simply laid the obligation of providing sexual ministry on each of the Spouses.
The implication is that no one should wait for their partner to propose love making. Each of you has the responsibility or the obligation of proposing love making.

The word, “Render” used in the King James’s Version translation of that verse makes the duty of giving sexual ministry to your mate a debt and you the Debtor.

And how are debts paid? By waiting for your Creditor to be the one always coming to ask for it ? No.

A responsible Debtor who has self respect goes to their Creditor to pay and not wait for them to come asking for their money.

Similarly, Spouses should be going to each other to offer sexual services without being asked. This is how it should be.

For as long as you live, your finger nails will grow and would need to be trimmed. Your hair will grow and would need to be barbed or dressed. You’ll trim your finger nails and the Barber or Hairdresser will take care of your hair.

But when your marriage partner is sexually thirsty, they’re not to quench their thirst by themselves. The only person authorised to take care of satisfying their sexual thirst is YOU, their marriage partner. And vice versa.

When you refuse to help meet their sexual hunger and thirst, you’re transgressing. You’re exposing them to needless danger as many have done, leading to the death of the sexually thirsty mate.

Spouses need to understand that sexual urge more deadly than the urge to use the restroom. The sexual urge is fierce energy and a fervent flame. That’s why the scripture refers to it as “Burning” in 1 Corinthians 7:9. It’s a fire.

Spouses are in each other’s life to control this fierce energy and fervent fire so it never gets out of hand and create disasters. This they do by constantly meeting one another’s sexual needs and on time; so it never gets to the point of explosion in form of a sexual scandal as has happened to many.
