Fulfil Your Marital Duty

Good day people. How are you doing? I trust that all is well.

I'll like to talk about a type of wickedness that I see that abounds in marriages. It is the wickedness of depriving your spouse of sexual satisfaction, knowing that as believers, they should not seek satisfaction elsewhere.

I met a lady who claims to hate sex yet she has 4 kids. She said she asked her husband to 'understand' with her that she just doesn't like sex; that she should remember all the other 'sacrifices' she makes for him...Seriously??? I don't know if the man has remained faithful; I know the woman has DETERMINED that there is nothing she can do to enjoy sex.

What annoys me is that this woman is a leader in her church; you can imagine the kind of counsel she will be dishing out...

 

Unfortunately, there are also men like her. Their wives are sexually frustrated and these men are not ready to do anything about it...It is wickedness...

 

There is a scripture that addresses this. If you are not married and you know you don't like sex, please remain unmarried and don't frustrate another person's life. If you're married and you don't like sex, please get godly counsel and help. You can't continue like this and ask your spouse to 'understand'. They are trapped in the marriage and that is probably the cause of your marital challenges...GET HELP! GET HELP! GET HELP! Thank you.

 

"Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."

1 Corinthians 7:1-5
