Love Dare Day 32

Day 32~Love meets sexual needs

The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. —1 Corinthians 7: 3

In marriage, romance is meant to thrive and vibrantly flourish. 

The Song of Solomon, for example , though frequently misunderstood as nothing more than an allegory about God’s passion for His people, is also a beautiful love story.

Sex was created by God as a bond and a blessing for husband and wife. Two becoming one flesh in an act of love.

Sex is not a weapon.  It is not a bargaining tool.  It is not a reward.   It should not be withheld or given in response to whether or not your spouse is behaving in a way you like or doing what you want.

Sex is a way of giving yourself to your spouse to meet his needs.  Just as your spouse is to meet your needs.  It is a way to express honor and endearment to each other.

When the intimacy of marriage is acted out in the right way, for the right reasons - this is truly God's plan for marriage.  The two united in one flesh.  United in His love.

~TODAY'S DARE~

IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, TRY TO INITIATE SEX WITH YOUR HUSBAND OR WIDE TODAY.  DO THIS IN A WAY THAT HONORS WHAT YOUR SPOUSE HAS TOLD YOU (OR IMPLIED TO YOU) ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED FROM YOU SEXUALLY.  ASK GOD TO MAKE THIS ENJOYABLE FOR BOTH OF YOU AS WELL AS A PATH TO GREATER INTIMACY.

Was this a satisfying experience for you?

If it didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped, what do you think is complicating matters?

Have you committed this to prayer ?

If it was a true blessing for both of you, what can you learn from this for the future?
