The Marriage Bed Guide To Christian Sex & Intimacy In Marriage

Consider these wonderful truths, which you can claim on behalf of your own marriage and relationship. ‘The Marriage Bed – An Uncompromising Guide to Christian Sex and Intimacy in Marriage’ is designed to open these Scriptural truths to couples, and enrich their lives through the living Word of God concerning the intimate areas of their Marriage Covenant. That at the very heart of the Bible is a book that revels in the delights of sexual love between a loving husband and wife. - How God has designed men and women to perfectly compliment one another, and why it is important to understand the sexual chemistry of your husband or wife to enjoy the fullest expression of physical affection and sexual love in your marriage. - How to develop a loving trust within your marriage in the sexual arena, so your love and its expression in the bedroom can grow, develop and blossom year upon year. False or incorrect church teachings over the decades have led to much confusion in in the area of sex in a Christian context, often misapplying the Bible’s strong stance on illicit sexual activity and using it to discourage healthy enjoyment and exploration within the Covenant relationship called marriage. Such discouragement for those who have committed themselves to each other before Him in holiness was never God’s intention. In reality the Bible distinctly celebrates the delights of marriage, whilst warning against the spiritual and physical dangers of sexual activity outside of lifelong covenant, but wholeheartedly endorsing sexual exploration and enjoyment within it. Thankfully there are boundaries, designed by our loving Creator, to ensure appropriate conduct as we explore the pleasures of physical intimacy with our wife or husband. Husbands are commanded to love their wives as their own bodies for example – caring, protecting and cherishing them, not abusing and selfishly using them to gratify their own sexual desires or fantasies. Thank God for such guidelines that help us steer a true and honourable course in the midst of a sex-soaked and perverted society that has cheapened the sexual act and the female body in particular in a manner never intended by God. (Ephesians 5:28-30) Likewise, wives are encouraged to willingly offer themselves to their husband, becoming for him an ever fresh fountain of intimacy and sexual satisfaction as he delights in her as God’s gift to his life. (Proverbs 5:15-19) ‘The Marriage Bed’ also recognises that there are practical (and personal) issues that surround the act of lovemaking that are rarely spoken of in a Christian context.
