In all seriousness, it's amazing that us Christians sit back and let the worldly people do all the talking about sex like they know what they're talking about when for the most part they have more trouble getting their Love Boat out of dry dock. Us Christians ought to talk about the joys of married sex more often, particularly if we can find a way to do so without betraying our spouse's privacy. An argument could be made that the world is in the mess it's in in part because we've been too quiet and haven't educated people on how best to get what many folks want most (sex) by doing it God's way. Us leaving that void in the discussion is part of what makes worldly hedonism so attractive (because it's the only voice about sex).
Since we’re all anonymous here, I’ll just throw it out: We were married when we were both 44 (we’re only six days apart). for the first ten years, it was at least once a day, and we had a fun phrase on road trips - “Do you want to pull off and scare some deer?” We scared a lot of deer, and probably a few Racoons.
But the point is it is REALLY about intimacy. There is a closeness that quite literally fuels a man’s inspiration and motivation when he is desired by his wife. And the fact that it is ONLY the two of you creates an incredible bond. If I ever cheated on her it would be like killing the golden goose, even if she never found out, because I would know.
Note, we are now almost 69 and it’s less than once a day now...
“Us Christians ought to talk about the joys of married sex more often,”
1 in 5 marriages is sexless. The couples never have sex. The number is not different for Christian marriages.
Yet, when was the last time you heard a sermon about the wife and husband’s obligation to have sex with each other? It’s in the Bible. Paul preached it.
Before we go touting marriage as sexual nirvana we need to get that problem fixed.
