The marriage bed is meant to be enjoyed throughout the course of a marriage. Sex is very powerful, which is why God ordained for it to be within the confines of marriage. In marriage, it brings enjoyment, as we read about in Proverbs 5, and serves to strengthen and protect the marriage. We see the protective nature of married sex demonstrated in 1 Corinthians 7.
Outside of marriage, sex is a destructive force, harmful to all parties involved. Nonetheless, temptation can lead us to believe that we’re missing out. We might think there is a better or more exciting version of sex out there, but the truth is that there is no better place for sex than inside a healthy marriage.
There is no better sex than between two spouses who are connected spiritually, emotionally, and physically. But that can’t happen if you’re entertaining thoughts or fantasies of sex with anyone else but your spouse, or if there is any infidelity in your heart or mind, including the use of porn. It’s when you devote yourself fully and exclusively to your spouse and faithfully work to strengthen your marriage that you will enjoy the satisfying and connecting sex God intended.
Confess today if you have fallen into sin. Ask God to keep your sexual desire for your spouse only. Ask for Him to help you experience all He has for you in your sexual relationship. Pour into your spouse and marriage. Get curious about how to grow your connection and your sex life.
When you pray the prayer asking God to confine your desire to your spouse and marriage, I believe He will answer in amazing ways.
Prayer: Lord, I pray that my sexual desire will be for my spouse only. I pray that I will treasure our relationship deeply and be devoted to purity. Help me to flee the temptations I face. Guard my mind and remind me when I need it. I pray you will fortify our marriage through our sexual relationship.
