WHY GOD CREATED MARRIAGE – FOR MAGICAL CLIMAX (PART ONE)
Why did God create marriage? To provide for the only place where the most magical climax on planet earth, “the best fun one can have without laughing,” even sex, can be experienced! Hollywood actress Sharon Stone said, “The best sex there is, is married sex!”
I would like to say in similar vain, the only guilt-free sex happens between a husband and his wife. You can stare at the ceiling with a feeling of absolute serenity and total peace when you have just had sex with your spouse. This does not happen when you just had sex with anyone else. This does not happen after you have just masturbated with your mind full of adulterous thoughts.
There’s peace only when your life partner is standing unclothed in front of you; when it’s someone else (that porn star on that DVD, that movie starlet in your imagination, that office colleague in actuality, etc.), that peace will be shattered. This is the message of the Bible in Song of Songs 8:10.
In the book of Proverbs, the Bible teaches, “Enjoy the wife you married as a young man! Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose – don’t ever quit taking delight in her body!” (Prov 5:18-20, The Message). When some of my close friends have gotten married, I have written this set of verses, unedited, in my greeting card to them!
God’s Word teaches ‘abstaining from sex is permissible’ for the husband and wife ‘only if they mutually agree to it and it’s only for the purposes of prayer and fasting – only for those times’. After such periods, they need to ’come back together’ to experience the joy of sexual intimacy ‘again’ (I Cor 7:5, The Message).
There are 66 books in the Bible. Did you know that God put one whole book in the Bible to make us understand that he created sex for giving the married pleasures untold? I am referring to the book of Song of Solomon.
It is interesting to note that this book does not record the birth of a child. The message of this book then is: “God created marriage for pleasures within the boundary of marriage, not just for the mere production of children!”
