🌼🍁🍂I once travelled to a certain place to minister.
In the course of my work, one of those who graciously assisted me was a vivacious young housewife.
🌼🍁🍂Since I was in town to minister to married couples, she decided to discuss her marriage with me.
🌼🍁🍂According to her, after she got married, she realised that she had a higher and a more intense sexual desire than her husband. Her husband therefore felt something was wrong with her and that she needed to see a Physician. Doesn’t the Scripture say that those who are sick need a Physician? And so to a Physician he took her.
🌼🍁🍂The Physician listened to his complaints patiently, evaluated her but found her to be in perfect good health: both in body and in the mind.
🌼🍁🍂Not content with the Doctor’s assessment, he took her to an Exorcist to cast out the demons troubling her. Again there was no demon to be cast out.
🌼🍁🍂What made this husband carry his wife about seeking a cure to what wasn’t a sickness? Ignorance! Deep ignorance, that’s what! Yet he was educated and had a college degree!
🌼🍁🍂Yes, this husband was ignorant of the fact that in some marriages, the wife is a sex driven woman while the husband isn’t. Such husbands assume that in every marriage, it’s the husband who has a stronger sex drive and should therefore be the one to always lead the sexual aspect of their marriage.
🌼🍁🍂Dearly Beloved, in marriage as much as in other areas in life, people demonstrate their God-given gifts, abilities and potentials.
🌼🍁🍂There are Christian marriages where the husband, even though a full-time Minister, isn’t as gifted with the grace of prayer and supplication as the wife. Every one in the home knows that Mama has more grace when it comes to prayers. It will be folly for the husband to feel threatened and to seek to silence his wife from exercising her praying grace. A wise husband would instead put such a wife in charge of prayers in the family.
🌼🍁🍂When God made Man, He gave him a Love Life just as He gave him a Spiritual Life.
🌼🍁🍂Just as He gave some wives the grace to preach, pray or perform some other spiritual duties in the Body of Christ more than their husband, so also in marriage.
🌼🍁🍂Some wives are naturally more romantic, more affectionate, more sexually keen, more passionate, etc, than their husband. And when it’s this way, a wise husband will know that it’s the gifts and talents of God in the wife that are showing themselves. He needn’t feel threatened and he shouldn’t become afraid or suspicious of her either.
🌼🍁🍂What should he do? He should adjust to her high level of passion rather than telling her to lower her strong sexual desire. Why? Because her strong sexual passion is an asset to their marriage. He is the one that should adapt to her. And as he does, it’s just a matter of time and his own appetite for sexual intimacy will zoom up and become as massive as her’s; and perhaps even more! And their marriage will be all the happier and merrier for it!
❤️💕 TONIGHT’S ASSIGNMENT IN THE BEDROOM
Reread the devotional piece just before bedtime and soberly discuss it.
📚📖🌹🍋QUOTES: “If mere feelings of a strong sexual desire in your Mate’s absence moves you to go somewhere and take off your clothes with your two eyes wide open and you actively start, continue and conclude Adultery; forgetting your marriage covenant, then you just don’t love them. That’s why you could be so easily blown off your feet by the wind of sexual desire. True Love is heavy and weighty like the Cedar tree! It keeps your feet strongly on the ground and your heart deeply entwined with your Spouse’s, though they be faraway, and the winds of the temptation to cheat cannot shake you, let alone move you!”(Anselm Ahman. From Lovebirds’ Devotional of September 10, 2024)
