When a wife says to her husband, “I feel so stressed and down,” she is not asking him to fix her, or fix the conflict she has at her job or fix her kids who might be driving her crazy.
No, no, no! She is not asking him that. All she is asking him is this: “Can you show me some love so that I can pick myself up to fix my problems and be respectful towards you?”
Yes, it is for freedom Christ has set us free but after we are set free from our sin, we have to learn how to live that free life Christ died for; a life that is free from sinful and destructive lifestyles.
There are great purposes why God created marriage, a covenantal relationship between one man and one woman. And one of the zillion purposes of marriage is to raise kids who are mentally and emotionally healthy.
Healthy marriages are like “Petri Dishes” to grow “healthy and godly children” on. When that “Petri Dish” that good ground is disturbed, the ones who suffer the most are kids.
A4P Guest: I have a question about your latest post titled “Sex in a Dream.”
So, are you saying that the natural phenomena called wet dream or also called “nocturnal emission” (or ejaculation) is a sin and whoever has this phenomenon needs someone to pray for them so that they won’t have it?
One of the young men who came to me for help this week had this problem: He often sees in his dream having sex with the same woman. This woman is not the woman he knows in real life, he only knows her in his dream. He finds himself being orgasmic whenever he sees this dream. Here is his whole story:
(Thank you my dear brother for letting me use your story and your question. May the LORD bless you!)
Well, it is true that a wife’s desire for love is like a deer’s desire for water.
A romantic husband knows his wife’s love language and he speaks it as often as he can. He knows that one “I love you” a day is not a good enough dose to fill the empty love tank of his wife.
“There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
who rides across the heavens to help you
and on the clouds in his majesty.
The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,
saying, ‘Destroy them!’- – –
Sometimes, I find similar questions dropped off in my inbox from different people at the same time.
And this week, I have received one particular question from different married women; and that question is regarding “loss of sexual pleasure after childbirth”, (which is clinically called anorgasmia).
From all the things God commanded His people, the Israelites, this one command got my attention last week:
“Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.” (Deuteronomy 22:10)
Okay, I clearly understand those commands such as, “Don’t kill” and “Don’t do adultery”; but “don’t yoke an ox and a donkey” command kind of got me a bit confused. Continue reading An Ox and a Donkey→
