		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest reasons for becoming involved in a sexual relationship is because we are told that it&#8217;s natural. So true. But why are so many filled with remorse for giving their bodies for this reason? For some they are not sure if this person is the one to whom they want to commit. [...]]]></description>

We need to be wise with these connections. Words build or destroy relationships. While we may write something with little thought, it&#8217;s effect on our lives and others [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sex Most of us know what the Bible states about sex &#8211; between a man and a woman in marriage. That means that God would love singles to abstain. That&#8217;s tough but after all, there&#8217;s not many occasions when he says &#8216;no&#8217; to certain things. Casual sex or any sex outside of marriage can seem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tough times and depression are not a new dilemma. Whether depression is a disease is still debatable. In these times, we are fortunate that there is medication that can decrease our pain in crises. Often though, taking a pill dulls the mind and emotions rather than changing the mind and emotions.

However if spiritual values differ, as time passes we see that these feelings and motivations fade. What is spiritual intimacy?

If a man desires his wife to be interested in sex then he must love her “as Christ loved the church” (Ephesians 5:25).
