I think the subject matter is fine and more churches do need to teach on it, BUT in a couples only setting and where the people have made the choice to be there.

To throw it out there on a Sunday morning with visitors and all age brackets wasn't too smart. They didn't have a clue what was taking place.

Here's the link to the thread where we were talking about that church I was talking about in Memphis.

Do you people honestly believe that a pastor has the authority to command or challenge a couple to have sex?! Whats next? The number and time of day for a bowel movemement? If any of you are so spineless to have to have this kind of advice you have more problems than any pastor can remedy.

I don't think I agree with his premise about lust and desire. I think you can have both in your marriage. Lust being defined as "intense sexual craving".

There are times that you can feel so full of love you desire your spouse and other times it's just an intense sexual craving. Just normal human emotion and feeling, IMO.

He is equating "lust" with something you crave outside of marriage - always. I don't agree with that. It doesn't always have to be that way.

My two cents.

LOVE is a commandment!

Husbands, love you wives even as Christ loved the church and
gave himself for it.

Could it be that if there was more of the LOVE that this is speaking
of, there might be more of what accompanies it! Love begets intimacy.
Not just not the bedroom. It needs to be consistant, day in, day out!
Not just on the day you feel a need to have sex. It cannot be one-
sided. Takes the love, words. and actions, day by day, from both hus-
band and wife.

Husbands, the way the day starts in the morning in the kitchen or else-
where, is most likely to follow you in the bedroom that evening. If there
is fighting in the morning, you most likely will need to take care of that
before the day is gone.

The Bible gives instructions for every need in the Word of God. Evidently
too many in our world today are not reading the Bible before they enter
their bedroom. There could be a lot of dialogue on this subject.

No offense intended! Ever!

Blessings,

Scripture says, "Marriage is honourable in all & the bed undefilled...."


It is also nobody else's business what goes on there or how often!

Just as long as it's going on!

I think this is the other extreme from these simpleton preachers always harping about "sex curls", seductive long fingernails and wearing red.

They're as obsessed with sex as any convicted pervert.

But ... while there is nothing wrong with teaching that sex is good and wholesome from a christian point of view - this business of "have sex all seven nights this week" intrudes too much into the bedroom too.

Preachers should stay out of the married bedroom, period.

I think this could be better fodder for a marriage retreat. How about seven days of romancing your spouse? If couples are having trouble in this area, a "challenge" from a pastor for sex alone could cause problems.
