Today Sunday church sermon was about Matters of Singlehood and Marriage.. It was an interesting topic by Pastor Eric.. Therefore I choose to share it here..:)
Concerning Marriage Life
1 Corinthians 7:1-5
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.
Now, why do men get married? Because of the lack of self-control? Marriage is designed by God and meant to be something beautiful. NOT to fulfill the sexual desire.. Pastor touches something sensitive but funny, he said when the wife is not in the mood to have sex, then no matter red bull, blue bull or whatever bull he drinks, she still won't have the mood. This is where verse 5 comes in: "Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer." Tolerate with one another and not by force.
Pastor Eric said, no matter we are single or married, it is the gift from God. Therefore appreciate the treasure and live with it:)
