Yes, here is God’s design: that a man should leave his father and mother, seek for a wife, and having found her, cling wholly to her in an embrace of growing and fruitful love. This plan has its difficulties and requires sacrifice, mercy, and mutual forgiveness. But, unlike lust, God’s plan gives life. Fruitful, faithful, and lasting matrimony is God’s answer to a lustful world.

18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, 19 A loving doe, a graceful fawn–let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever. 20 Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress?

Sadly, when one generation largely fails to teach wisdom, the next generation is not only poorly instructed, it is ill-equipped to teach, and this allows the problems multiply quickly. What was once common sense isn’t very common anymore. It does not take long for the whole culture to start crumbling if good sense cannot be restored.

We clearly see the fruits of this every day.

Another excellent essay. Thanks for the ping.

I observe that the queers and other "sex education" malefactors want to peddle their perversions in kindergarten. Get the kids "blinded by lust" and their "minds darkened" before anyone can do anything about it.

Intimacy cannot be exchanged in a merely physical way; humans are just not made that way. Our soul and psyche are deeply connected to our body, especially in matters of profound physical intimacy.

This is a profound truth. I have been married for multiple decades ... the experience of life I share with the bride of my youth, the the good times and bad, sickness and health ... all add up to a priceless treasure that cannot be gained any other way.

For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil

I am reminded of those words every time I hear certain politicians speak. They apply to many more people than just loose women.

Amen!

Undiscussed is the fact that viewing porn (which Christ says is essentially committing fornication or adultery, depending on the marital status of the lust object involved), is likely the primary cause of the ED epidemic in this country.
