UNHEALTHY PRETENCE IN MARRIAGE

Scripture:
‘Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.’
(1 Corinthians 7: 3)

GOD INSTITUTED MARRIAGE, WE DIDN’T. We are only beneficiaries.

God isn’t just the Originator of Marriage, He’s also the Creator of the bodies of Spouses by which they’re One Flesh.

When you are hungry, the solution is not to listen to a Sermon on Holiness or Handel’s Messiah. Neither is the solution in picking up an interesting book to read. What the body needs then is FOOD, NRI, ONJÉ, UJĒNWU. That’s what’ll solve the problem. And it’s not the fault of the body that it gets hungry from time to time. That’s how God created it.

When you’re ill, the solution is to seek medical attention. You get to your Doctor and of course you tell him how you’re feeling and he’ll know exactly what to do for you. The Lord Himself said that those who are sick need Physicians (Matthew 9:12).

Similarly, when either you or your Spouse gets sexually hungry, don’t keep quiet! Don’t sweep the need under the carpet and pretend to be the Superman or Superwoman that you know that you’re not. Open your mouth and tell your Mate exactly what you need. Enough of putting up some funny behaviour and assuming that your Spouse will “interpret it” and know your need. Open your mouth and tell them exactly what you want just as freely as you ask for the toothpaste, torchlight or toothpick. There’s no need for formalities or procedures. It’s your entitlement and it’s your Mate’s responsibility and duty to lovingly attend to you. Nothing calls for ceremonies.

I once read of a couple who went to bed at the same time. The husband was desirous of Intimacy with his dear Wife but kept quiet. He hoped that she would “bring the Matter up”. Well, Madam was also in the mood but was waiting for Mr Husband to “propose it”. They both lay awake for a long time until the husband stirred himself in bed, changed his lying position and cleared his throat. Just then the Wife wondered aloud why he was still awake. The husband also wondered that she had not yet slept. Each of them desired A BLESSING that was right there in the room with them but PRIDE and the fear of being misunderstood kept them from voicing out their needs.

Beloved, it’s never a sign of the lack of spiritual power or the lack of self discipline to have a sexual urge. It’s only natural. It’s rather a sign that you’re sexually normal, alive and sound.

As a married man or woman, there’s nothing to feel ashamed of as far as your God-given sexuality is concerned. There’s nothing embarrassing or laughable about it. It’s a core part of your life as a married Man or Woman. Therefore, when ever you need this service from your Spouse, say so! Don’t keep quiet.

🍷🍗Take Home Point: WHEN EVER YOU NEED SEXUAL INTIMACY FROM YOUR SPOUSE, SAY SO!
