Physical Appearance and Dissatisfaction

Written by Jill
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.

Sex, History and the Bible

Written by Jill
0 Comments

Despite popular belief, the Song of Solomon is not the only book of the Bible that talks about sex.

The Bible contains great revelations and stories regarding sexual issues; including the origin of sex, marital sex, group sex, seduction, sex as a form of worship, promiscuity, prostitution, rape, polygamy, homosexuality, bisexuality, incest, bestiality, and coitus interruptus.

God is not silent about sex. In some ways, God presents “Fifty Shades of Grey” about the most controversial topic in the world, and yet, at the same time, He provides freedom and safety because He sets the guidelines for what is a huge part of our lives.

The many translations of the Bible and the shifting in language over the centuries have served to mask the Bible’s information concerning sexuality. That or perhaps we just don’t read it enough to discover the shocking facts! (Extract from God Sex).

Thoughts on Abortion – Taken from God Sex book

Written by Jill
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

Written by Jill

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.

Effects of Pornography taken from God Sex book

Written by Jill

On the point of pornography as a relational enhancer, this thought is extremely untrue. Women feel the threat of losing their men to this unrealistic view of sex and beauty. It shakes their sense of security. There is no realistic way a normal woman of natural build can compete with the images viewed in pornography.

A woman wants to be the beauty of her man’s life. If the man is overly enjoying another woman’s looks, he is breaking her heart. It heightens her fears regarding her importance in his life and shakes her sense of security in the thought that he will still desire her after the aging process and children run their natural course on her human body.

It’s fascinating today the number of women who purchase breast lifts and enhancements. While these things are not wrong and help a woman to feel more attractive, the images that we view do influence our thinking. We compete and want to keep our man’s attention and so are willing to pay a high price to do this.
