God meant for wives to enjoy this part of the relationship as much as men, and my husband tells me it helps to cement the bond by making the man feel more protective. I suppose this is the layman's way of explaining the scientific words.

I have been married 18+ years and have 8 children. Though I was raised in a christian household, my parents always displayed a little friskiness in front of us children. Their example, and good Biblical teaching, led me to have a healthy outlook on sex. I'm sorry for your past experiences, but many christian women share them. And I'm sure this post will help many of them.<br />Visiting thru Strangers and Pilgrims.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LeslieLeslie McKinleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082544707682903607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040749378186048586.post-26096869222966739642015-11-10T20:50:35.694-08:002015-11-10T20:50:35.694-08:00Solid message on how to love well.

I thought this so insightful: "In other words, while women want to feel connected before having sex, men want to have sex in order to feel connected, and the more often sex happens, the more connected they feel."

Her answer... never go longer than 3 days. lol Now that I'm married, I understand what she meant by that. Intimacy doesn't happen on its own. We have to work at it. Not just emotionally, but physically as well.

When it comes to sexuality, or any issue that we discuss here on Maidservants of Christ, what we think isn't the issue. We do our best to conform to the Scripture in everything. So when we say that sex should be saved for marriage, that isn't our opinion, but what the Word of God says (See 1 Corinthians 7:2, among others). If you are referring to our PG-13 warning above, that is simply a courtesy to our readers who are parents. Every mother has the right to decide when and how they will teach sexuality to their children, and we didn't want our blog post to be a shock to anyone who might read with their children.

I've never understood why frank discussion of sexuality wasn't encouraged. It is a part of life. Even if you think it is for marriage only why would you not want your children to be well educated in the matter?
