Happy Marriage, Happy HomeNäide

Sex can just be sex, or it can be a thousand times better when based on emotional and spiritual intimacy. Spiritual intimacy is a divine mystery. But just as emotional intimacy takes work, so does physical intimacy. I read a funny quote by a small child who said, “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” 

Well, I imagine with that many women all needing one man, they may have felt like porcupines. But aside from Solomon’s disobedience to God in taking on foreign wives, he wrote a book that the Holy Spirit inspired. It’s a love song, and at least in my opinion, he is very specific on how to become a good lover to his wife. 

His wife also writes about how to make love to her husband. Many of you are reading this thinking, “I can’t believe this is in the Bible.” Well, read it for yourself. It’s all in there. Part of what you will find is a romance that is gentle, sweet, respectful, and sensual. 

Here’s an exercise for you: take the next few days and read Song of Solomon to each other. Men, you read the king’s part. Ladies, read the part of the wife. 

Remember, when Solomon was made king, God asked him how He could bless him. Solomon asked for wisdom. Within this book, you will find wisdom for a loving and fulfilling marriage bed. 

Ask God for emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy in your marriage.
