Physical Appearance and Dissatisfaction

0 Comments

In Psalm 139, the famous words that each person is “fearfully and wonderfully made” are written.

God’s definition of beauty is not the same as the one that we find in pop culture. He does not set us up for failure or disappointment like the media does when it parades the unrealistic images of supposed perfection in front of our eyes.

God creates variety from which we choose a partner and then He instructs us to live with this partner through the good and the bad, in our youth and old age.

In God’s eyes, each of us is magnificent regardless of the world’s standard of beauty. We need to remember that our chosen partner is one of God’s wonderful ideas and, therefore, do nothing that could damage, dishonor, or disrespect our marriage vows.

We experience dissatisfaction with our physical appearance, particularly as we age. God, though, wanted and designed both of us; therefore, each of us should dwell on our better attributes and also those of our spouse. To dwell on what we do not have or what our partner does not have only negatively impacts a marriage.

Thoughts on Abortion – Taken from God Sex book

3 Comments

Women who often recount their sexual pasts do so with laughter or regret; however, abortion remains the one thing that is too difficult to discuss even years later.

Several organizations, such as Planned Parenthood, note that immediately after the abortion it is common for women to experience anger, regret, guilt, sadness, or depression while some are relieved.

State-sanctioned counselors say that psychological problems appear low for those women who have had abortions, but this is due to the fact that these women have little desire to return to the doctor or clinic at which the abortion was performed; therefore, the gathered data is inadequate.

Overall, the hurt felt in the aftermath of an abortion is probably one of the deepest hurts a woman can feel. It is in epidemic proportions, and yet, abortion remains the champion of women’s rights. Why is that?

Masturbation Truths from God Sex book

0 Comments

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:3–4 that one’s sexual capacity does not exist for himself.

Masturbation teaches us to fulfill ourselves, and, as a result, we become impatient when in a relationship with another.

A masturbator does not need to think of another when seeking fulfillment. He already knows his body well and knows how to fulfill himself. It is a shallow shadow of what true intimacy and sexual fulfillment really are.

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians of marital sex that we should “stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

God designed sex so that we give to and satisfy our marriage partner. It takes time to develop a good sexual relationship. We need to learn each other’s bodies and what brings our lover to sexual fulfillment.

Promiscuity and Sexual Conquests taken from God Sex Book

1 Comment

Society already puts pressure on people to be sexually active.

Promiscuity is similar to addiction. We search for that sense of feeling good and crave to be loved and accepted. It is built into our very being to want to be loved, and that desire can be enhanced in those who had minimal parenting.

Young girls especially will fall prey to the thought that being desired sexually is the same as being loved, because someone wants and desires them. The chase and perhaps the sexual climax act as highs. The low emotions occur when the sex is done and they face the consequence of the lonely feelings.

The pressure of promiscuity falls heavily on men. It is a sort of badge of honor, men are told, to have multiple “conquests” in their sexual history.

Multiple sex partners are supposed to be the mark of a true man; however, this sense of manhood is shallow and false. Men who live a promiscuous life pretend to be real men without having to commit to any one relationship. Some men take great pride in their sexual conquests when, in fact, they are running from commitment to one woman. They fear that they don’t have what it takes to lay down their life for another.

Pornography – an extract from God Sex

0 Comments

Pornography is an unrealistic image of sex that, when viewed, is burned into memory with little hope of it ever fading.

It is an exposure to an idea of what a relationship should be like that sets up the viewer for addiction and relational disappointment. It promises great and glorious sex without commitment or effort; however, pornography effectively breaks down the bonds of sex in a relationship by substituting intimate connection with indifference.

It even drives some to seek sexual stimulation elsewhere by way of an affair because the sex they are having does not live up to the promises made in pornography.
