Message of the Day: God has done everything to make our sojourn here beautiful, great,
glorious and richly blessed in spite of its temporariness. Marriage is a union
of foretaste of heaven. Sex, a God given exclusively ordained for marital life
is a marvel that should command heart of praises unto God. We need to
acknowledge God’s love, goodness, favour, power and riches unlimited reaching
to man. Of this marital bliss say with the Psalmist: I will praise thee; for I
am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul
knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14
Marital life is a life to be lived
with sense of responsibility. Sex as a topical affair in marriage must be
carried with every sense of responsibility for its maximum benefits. Touch not
a woman carnally, lustfully and sexually whom you have not exchanged marital
vows with. Do the right things for right results that give no room for regrets
even eternal regrets.
Sex is a pleasurable service unto one
another. It is mutual rendering of due benevolence to profitable ends. Defraud
not one another save for mutual consent of spiritual life of fasting and
prayer. There may be other critical matters like health or some other things. However
mutuality of consent must be reverenced.
We then come to the matter of procreation
as planned result of sex. Adam knew his wife the result was children in
marriage. Young couples and even others desiring children in marriage may need
knowledge of circles of fertility in women. This is also good for spacing of
children. Ovulation periods or cycle with its symptoms will be a good update in
marriage. A young couple discovered that five months into marriage there was no
conception. Then the father of the groom visited to pass one or two nights on a
friendly or paternal visit. He told the man to watch cycles and suspend sex for
few days after crossing ovulation and more importantly avoids rigorous or rough
sex for such does terminate conception. They followed this advice and they did
not miss the month for successful conception that leads to the birth of their
first baby. The same advice was followed for their subsequent issues and it
works. The amazing thing was that they shared this idea with other young
couples and it works for them. Study cycles and do responsible sex that
establishes and sustains conception. Sex is responsibility even with all the
pleasures it carries. You will be the happier for it and even a blessing to
others accordingly.
So ought men to love their wives as
their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Ephesians 5:28. Sex is for love in marriage.
From You to God: Lord, keep me that my life will never be a violation of sexual life in
Jesus name.
Application:
Ever focused on Christ to ever please God in all matters.
Foot Note: Sex
is a gift of God exclusive to marital life.
