Dear Couples, Satisfy Yourselves In Bed – You Can’t Be Holier Than God!
My beloved brothers and sisters, how are you all going today? I hope you had a prosperous week, and that you’re all ready to attack this new one with much vigor and excitement, too.
Speaking of excitement, I’ve sadly observed a disturbing trend amongst many married couples lately, and I feel led to address this situation today. What makes it even more alarming to me is the fact that many of these couples are barely even up to 10 years in marriage; hence the question – what is happening to true love and passion in today’s society?
Oh, I remember the story of how Jacob was so enamored with Rachel, he served and waited for 14 years so that he could have her as his wife and lover (read Genesis 29)! These days, a couple barely married for 7 years has already lost their spark, sexual chemistry, and passion, and you can’t help but wonder what the problem truly is.
Well, let me share a vital truth from God’s Word with you today. King David said: “For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” – Psalm 11:2-3. I put it to you today that this is a major reason why many marriages are suffering from this unholy pandemic in our days.
Many people went into marriage with the wrongest mindsets and feelings of entitlement. If your motive and perspective about a thing are already twisted before you do it, how do you expect to get the right results from it? The foundation, according to David, is destroyed already!
When it comes to marriage, there are a few assumptions and flawed mindsets many people have, and I want us to address them today:
Dr.( Mrs) Stella Onuoha-Obilor, DrPH, MD, MPH, CPHQ, CCM
(1) Sex is a dirty and sinful act, so it must only be done in one particular way.
Dear brothers and sisters that have turned yourselves into Assistant Jesus and God’s Administrative Assistants, well done o! My question for you is that if sex was as dirty as you self-righteously claim and even force your poor partners to believe, why did God not only allow it for married couples but also commanded that they enjoy it?
If you claim that the Apostle Paul’s teachings on this in 1 Corinthians chapter 7 is “new testament and not the law,” what about this beautiful scripture in your so-called “old testament” too?
“Let thy fountain be blessed: And rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.” – Proverbs 5:18-19.
Note that the Bible says to “be satisfied by her breasts at all times,” and not only when you want to procreate, whenever you feel in the mood, or when the days you fixed for your spouse on your calendar are due. That is an unholy madness, and it must be stopped. You can never be holier than the God who gave us these commandments, and created sex, can you?
(2) It’s not compulsory to satisfy my partner.
Yes, it is, dear brothers and sisters! You are even commanded to ensure that your partner is always fully satisfied in the bedroom: “Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.” – 1 Corinthians 7:3.
In case Uncle King James’s colloquial grammar is too hard for you to comprehend, rendering “due benevolence” to your spouse here means that you must fulfill and satisfy all their sexual longings and desires because this is your duty to each other.
And, if you’re also one of those partners who would always roll off and sleep as soon as you reach your orgasm and not care to help your partner achieve theirs, too, this is very selfish, self-centered, terrible, and a grave offense against the institution of marriage. You need to repent today!
(3) For my dear married sisters, please do not share your husband’s “food” around like your body is a buffet and free for all!
Every man likes his paradise sacred and preserved for him only. When he hangs out with his woman, he wants to feel like a king, and not someone eating public food or out of a public toilet.
Remember what the Apostle Paul said in this admonition to married couples? “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” – Hebrews 13:4.
And for my single bachelorettes, please keep your legs closed. It doesn’t matter whether you are separated, single, or divorced, you must remain celibate until you remarry if you’re a widow, or go back to your marriage – if it is still humanly possible.
This, I say, not from the scriptures right now but from my understanding and feelings – No woman should ever go back to an abusive spouse because you have one life and it makes no sense to have it snuffed out by an unbelieving animal that calls itself a man and your husband!
Anyway, I do hope and pray that these words will get through to your hearts today and that you will receive the understanding and faith to believe them. May God restore every troubled marriage, and relationship and grant you all the peace, resources, and will to do the right things for each other, in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen!
Remember that your body is the temple of God|Holy Spirit. Keep it pure and clean always for only you and your partner.
