One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each Day预览

Making time for sex 

Devotional Content: 

Do you make time for sex in your marriage? For some of you, the answer may be a resounding yes. My counseling experience tells me that most people would say no or “sometimes.” Sex in marriage is a gift from God (see Song of Solomon). It is not the most important thing in marriage, but next to growing together in Christ, it needs to be as important as everything else. It draws us close. It is intimacy at its best. It is unique because the two of you are unique. 

Sex in marriage tends to get put on the back-burner when life gets in the way. We get busy with kids, work, housework, volunteer work, and ______________ (you fill in the blank). When we neglect intimate time together, we miss out on this incredible blessing from God. I believe that sex in a Christian marriage is different. Every couple can have the physical, emotional, and mental parts of sex. But because the Holy Spirit dwells in every Christian, there is a spiritual dimension of sex that non-Christians do not have. That takes sex to a whole new level. The best sex possible is in the context of a Christian marriage.
