Sex Is a beautiful, delightful, and necessary prerequisite for every successful and lasting marriage, and God made it so. It is an expression of oneness, a total commitment, a complete self-giving, and a sacred obligation of two parties. Sex is not a right to claim selfishly, a Cavour to withhold childishly, nor a weapon to dominate one another. It is not even a reward for good behavior.
In marriage, sex is important for the following reasons:
- Purity (1 Cor. 7:2-3):
The primary reason for sex is to preserve your purity. It is the only thing that you are not allowed to get from another person except your spouse. In order for you and your spouse to remain pure before God, get the best experience from each other.
- Pleasure (Prov. 5:19-20)
Sex is a gift of pleasure from God to married people. It will be wrong to say you will only do it when you need a baby. It is meant to be for pleasure, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Get it at home and don’t look for it outside.
- Passion Sos (4:15-16)
It is also for sexual love called passion. This helps to strengthen marriage and make the home more robust and better. Passion is what differentiates the marriage relationship from any other human relationship.
- Preservation Of Your Marriage
If you are both happy, there will be no need to open your bed to a third party; this will guarantee the security of your marriage. Once your home is secured, your marriage will be preserved. One of the reasons you need to take sex seriously is to preserve Your Marriage.
- Peace
Good sex in marriage brings up passion, satisfaction, fulfillment, and purity, all combined to generate peace. One of the significant causes of misunderstandings in marriage is sexual denials. When a couple gets to the level of mutual sexual satisfaction; they hardly fight and easily settle their differences. When You seek to give your spouse sexual happiness in marriage, you have secured peace. There is nothing else that can either make a man so happy or angry in marriage. When good performance in the bedroom is at constant, the home experiences deep peace.
- Procreation (Gen. 1:28)
God wants us to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. The only way we can fulfill these is through matrimonial sex.
- Partnership
Good sex in marriage promotes partnership in Marriage. It aids agreement, enhances communion, and leads to togetherness, fondness, and oneness at home.
- Protection
When sexual fulfillment is gotten at home, it protects the couple from STDs and binds them together. A marriage void of sex will easily open the man to sexual immorality and many deadly diseases. I agree perfectly with a Marriage counselor that said “A married man with an unfulfilled libido is a danger going somewhere to happen”. In order to protect yourself and your partner, sexual satisfaction is a must.
- Progress
When couples agree, and walk in purity and peace as a result of sexual fulfillment in marriage, progress is assured. It guarantees prosperity for that Family. When Couples open the room for sexual temptation and open the door widely for infidelity, it will affect every other part of their lives including their progress. When you allow your husband to sleep with you in a satisfying manner, you are only calling for progress and prosperity in your home.
- Do well to be a generous giver to your spouse.
- Invite him/her to the bedroom as you do at the dining table.
- It will be happy to have you as his/her baby girl/boy.
Sexual denial should never be practiced or encouraged.
