We began with the institution of marriage and the reason for that institution. God honors marriage and will bless it when we respect it as God has called us to do! It is therefore prudent that we also deal with the intimacy of marriage. In the age we live in we must have this clear in our minds as the Word of God speaks very clearly about this.

It is honorable in ALL aspects. Not for all but regarding the intimacy and the completeness of marriage. It stands in complete distinction from the world. (who may respect it to a degree, but who exploit it more than God.) Scripture meshes the body and soul together. "He who commits adultery lacks understanding." It is SELF destruction. Sex withOUT strings attached? (as the world talks about it,) does NOT exist. God has made it complete....physiologically, emotionally, and mentally. Sex and intimacy has depth! Meaning! It destroys the marriages, kids, and the person. Self destructs while the marriage bed is pure and undefiled. Where the husband and the wife can pay their respects to each other faithfully. We make a mistake when we don't talk about these things together and relay them to our children. We may not shove this off to someone else, but must talk with our children about the beauty and pureness of sex! God formed a sexual being! (before the fall.) It is NOT relegated to sin! Can you imagine the world teaching our children about this? Sin had an effect, but sex was ordained and created prior to the fall. It is all positive, and as is with our souls, so are gifts restored by God. God speaks often and shows us that we must pattern even these things after the relationship between Christ and His Church. It is for the purpose of God's Kingdom! God's Church! (Read the marriage form.) Marriage is to be enjoyed as a communion of two lives picturing Christ and His bride! It is a foretaste of our ETERNAL COMMUNION with God! (And also for the propagation of the human race.) Do we strive to make our marriages just that??! Are they established for our eternal good and can we taste eternal joy when we step in our doors of our homes??

95% of the population engages in premarital sex today. Man wants to have his cake and eat it too. We see murders too. Divorce, diseases, debauchery is RAPENT today and the world shuts its ears??? Where is the church? Even the church world have set aside some of these most basic and important principals today. When you speak the truth regarding divorce you are called "heartless." We MUST however stand FIRM that God's grace rains upon us efficiently. And it is still FACT that God brings each man his wife! This starts by being examples of it in our own homes. We MUST esteem it very highly. I am old fashioned, BUT am in touch with my God who is "old fashioned" too and has NOT CHANGED!!!

God does recompense. Explicitly teaching it and being an example of it reaps God's blessings as it has a rich foretaste of eternal glory upon our lips.
