Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)

[rgcraig]

How many listened to the video of Ed Young?

What did you think?

[rgcraig]

One thing that his wife said that I thought was really good and bears mentioning for those that haven't taken the time to listen was:

One of women's biggest stumbling block is our self-esteem. If the husband loves his wife as Christ loves us – the wife will feel more secure in her self-esteem.

Both should apply Ephesians 4:29-32 to their marriage:

29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

If this is applied not only in life, but in your marriage, self-esteem will be positive and the marriage intimacy strong.

Rejection of intimacy allows too many negative things (lust, etc) into a marriage that will in time destroy the marriage.

There are many good points.

Renda,
These are good points. I've sat through various marriage seminars and wondered what I was doing there. My husband is so attentive to me and always has been. I've never known a human being, besides our parents, to love like this. It's easy to give him what he wants, because he gives me everything - all of his heart. I've never one time in our marriage had to question his heart being mine - forever.

That is a blessing and not all women have that, but also, it's a plus for your hubby!

Pastor Young is speaking on seven benefits of an intimate, marital relationship. He only covered four in the first video.

1 - Fulfilling God’s purpose

2 - Reveal your true self

3 - Thwart sexual temptation

4 - Establishing a legacy

It's very God centered and not all "sexual" like some might think it is. Some very good basics that need to be understood by all married couples.

Which video are you listening to? I listened to the first one on the opening thread and didn't hear him say any of that.

That's the link I used. I thought at first it was yesterday's message, but I believe it was last week's.

Oh, well, I already listened to one. I don't think I can improve on what I have.

I will play it later today.

Rejection of physical intimacy is the outward expression of a rejection by one of the partners to share intimacy outside the physical expressions of intimacy.
