Sex in Marriage is Meant to be a Treat from God
Sex in Marriage is Meant to be a Treat from God
October is a great time for blogging about cooler weather, falling leaves, and pumpkin spice...ending up with an article or two about Halloween. Although Romantic Blessings does not condone any form of pagan worship, we still support the idea of handing out treats. We love taking our kids to this holiday’s church events for some family fellowship.
But treats during this season don’t have to be just for kids. That’s why we decided to highlight this “sweet” time of year by talking about a different kind of treat...sex between a Christian married couple. We believe you should treat each other with your bodies and grow your intimacy together, no matter the time of year.
Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
What better way to start this discussion than with a Bible quote from Song of Songs 1:2.
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love is more delightful than wine.”
Delicious, intoxicating kisses that taste better than wine? This is really referring to the opening move to the dance that is the physical expression of love. What better treat from God than sharing the intimacy of a kiss?
Sex for Pleasure
Throughout the most sensual book in the Bible, Song of Songs never talks about having children when referring to sex. Instead, the primary focus of the book is about passionate pleasure. As a treat from God to married couples, the scripture shows sex isn’t just for procreation. It’s also about enjoyment. Though many think of sex in a physical way, it is a gift from God that is not only physical and emotional but also spiritual. It’s not just a means to giving birth.
Spouses are a Treat from God
From the very beginning, God created a woman for man to be his companion, both physically and spiritually.
We look to Genesis 2:20-24.
“But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.”
According to Proverbs 18:22
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”
And in Mark 10:8:
“And the two shall become one flesh...What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
What a wonderful way to look at your spouse...as a special treat from God! Honor them by enjoying them!
The Special Treat of Children
As another gift from God, children are conceived at the moment of a couple’s deepest connection.
According to Genesis 1:28:
“God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth…”
So sometimes sex is a joyful expression of love in and of itself. At other times becoming one is the catalyst to the creation of life–another gift from God to be enjoyed and cherished.
One-ness is a Treat
Romantic Blessings believes God designed sex in marriage to be a treat for one another. We pray that you and your spouse find sex as one of the greatest treats from God. It’s a gift to be stewarded, guarded, enjoyed, and shared together for your good and God's glory. Visit our virtual Christian sex shop for ways to enhance your intimacy as a married couple.
