Choosing Persons or Power: It's Up to You - Part 2

Over time a couple may lose the closeness that initially bonded them together. The cares of life may cause a couple to lose interest and emotionally drift apart, causing a crisis to evolve in the marriage. The first thing a husband or wife may try to do is to restore sexual intimacy, only to witness a rise in anger and more distance.

Sex is frequently at the center of power struggles when it's used as a tool for exerting control or punishment. When sex is expressed as God intended, a couple feels deeply connected at the core of their being. Otherwise, sex is just sex. Where there is indisputable unity, the bond that holds a couple together is consistently strengthened.

Choosing to permit God's love to be anchored in the core of your being transforms power struggles into mutual submissiveness accompanied by a sincere motive to please each other. God's business is transforming attitudes and hearts so unity and bonding can be strengthened. Would you permit God to make this transformation in you?
