Desperate Households Part 6 -- Desperate for Sexual Fulfillment

Abba, please help all of us stay within our marriage vows and make our marriages what you intended them to be. Help us learn to love one another as we all deserve to be loved. Help us to be there for our spouses to meet all of their sexual intimacy needs and to always be available to them. Help our marriages to stay strong and forgive us for anything that we've done wrong to our marriage covenants already and put us back on the correct paths to start anew if we need it.

Notes...

Most people in past generations have avoided the topic of sex and sexual intimacy. Most people leave it to the schools to teach about sex ed. The family needs to teach the children about this in a positive way. Government thinks teaching abstinence to kids is irresponsible.

It's ok to talk about sex and it's healthy and God wants to talk about it. We're going to talk about it in a G-rated way. Children are picking up on ways of love as early as the age of 4. The Bible pretty much says about sex that if you're single, you can't have any. If you're married, you can pretty much shop until you drop.

You're the only legitimate source of romance in your spouse's life. You're #1 person at meeting your spouse's romantic needs.

Avoid all forms of sexual immorality...

40 mil people are sexually involved in some form over the internet. Be have to be careful about what we listen to and watch and watch how we are dressing.

God said that he made one man and one woman so that they could become one flesh. He gave us the gift of intimacy. He wants us to bond with one another and go foward and multiply (have kids).

Some research recently found that the youth who watch a lot of programming with sexual connotations that you're twice as likely to have sex than those who watch very little of this programming. Parents need to be aware of what you're using to entertain your kids while you're trying to get other things done. Even cartoons can teach bad stuff.

When we sleep with other people before marriage, we rob that special person of that gift of saving yourself for marriage. When we have affairs outside of marriage, we remove the bond of intimacy that God gave us in marriage.

God sees all the paths that we take, nothing is done in secret. Seeking sexual fulfillment outside of marriage will only put you in bondage. You break the covenant of marriage when that happens and break the vows of marriage. Don't give in to peer pressure and believe that what God tell us is right and true.

Proverbs 5:15-18 (God's plan for strengthening intimacy in marriage)

15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

We must keep our distance from those who seek to draw us into sin. It is our responsibility to be responsibile for ourself. It is nobody's fault but our own if we fall into temptation. Move yourself from the temptation.

Husbands and wives, your needs were not given to you to share with strangers. Never share them with strangers. Husbands and wives, you must be available for one another. Keep your marriage in proper working order. If there's a marriage that's not properly working, that's not justification to seek fulfillment outside of the marraige.

Those of us, who have had past sexual relationships, have been married before or a couple of times, or those of us who have had babies outside of marriage...God has something unique for you. Truthfully access where you are right now. Let God know that you know where you are. We all mistakes. Embrace God's forgiveness and healing and make a new start and give yourself a fresh beginning to start over on the path to proper sexual fulfillment. Seek God's graces...God will always heal us...we just have to go to Him with our problems and issues.
