Your Questions About Sex In Marriage Bible

MarriageCounseling answers:

Paul gives these principles for marriage in 1 Corinthians 7:1-5:

“Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

He is basically saying the following:

The wife should not act as if she were still single. She now belongs to her husband and should strive to make him happy. The same holds true for the man. He’s no longer single but belongs to his wife and should strive to make her happy. When you are married, you should not overlook each other’s sexual needs, unless you both agree to do so for a while to devote yourselves to fasting and prayer. But when that time is over, you need to resume your sexual relationship lest Satan tempts one or the other of you to have sex with someone else (Clear Word Bible).

Proverbs 5:15-19 – Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets? Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.

In other words, be satisfied and thankful for the wife God has blessed you with. Do not go looking outside the marriage for someone else to satisfy you. This applies to women too. Appreciate the men you are married to.

Song of Solomon is a beautiful expression of marital love.

The king is lying on his couch, enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume. My lover is like a sachet of myrrh lying between my breasts. He is like a bouquet of sweet henna blossoms from the vineyards of En-gedi. Young Man: How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves (Song of Solomon 1:12-15).
