Yes,
right now we’re flipping the script to focus on how your husband’s sex drive is
God’s gift to you, his wife! As research
on the subject has rewarded us with stats on how much women fret about and even
avoid sexual intimacy with their husbands, it must be acknowledged that sex is
a huge force in your husband's life. And while acknowledging this, we should
not neglect the fact that God created that force for your use as well. In fact,
wives should become jealous and possessive of the power inherent in your
husband's sexuality. It was intended for you!
Christian
Psychologist, Juli Slattery, author of “No More Headaches, Enjoying Intimacy in
Your Marriage” (Tyndale Press, 2009), says that we often look at a man's sexual
desire as a weak link or an Achilles' heel. As with Samson or David, the
promise of fleeting pleasure has the power to strip him of all that he values
in life. However, what can be a source of evil can also be a force of great
good. Just as twisted women are able to pull men into sin, virtuous women can
use the influence of sex to call men to morality, love, and godliness.
Boaz is
opening the “floor” for discussion in this series. It is a serious, grown-up
conversation we believe couples should be having, whether in pre-marital
counseling or seasoned in your marriage. Saying that this is vital and
essential, is an understatement because of the outside influences in society
through media, as well as stale ‘religious traditions’ that have caused gross
misrepresentation and lack of understanding concerning what God intended to be
a joyous celebration and experience for husband and wife.
We invite
our readers to engage in this dialogue, share thoughts, and invite/share with
others. Our references will be provided, and, as always, our source and guide
is the Word of God. Part 2, with more for the ladies (men, you are welcome to
take note!), will be posted Sunday, May 4, 2014.
Blessings,
