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?
