Thoughtful Motherhood

What is Sex For?

In a perverted world of lust and sensuality, it is hard to understand what God intended marital intimacy to look like.  Through an online study at www.healinghearts.org, I have learned that God gave us sex for five different reasons.  In my Bible, I marked these verses in pink, which is my chosen color for any verse that relates to being a woman.  Then I made my own chain-reference. I wrote a note in the margin that explained the verse and then another note that led to the next verse on the list, thus a chain of verses that relates to marital intimacy.  Beside the last verse, I wrote a note that led back to the first.  So that, if I come across the verses in the middle, I can follow my "chain-refernence" full circle.

1. Sex is for creating life (Gen 1:28)

2. Sex is for becoming one flesh (Gen 2:24)

3. Sex is for pleasure (Prov. 5:15)

4. Sex is for defending against temptation (1 Cor 7:2-5)

5. Sex is for comfort (2 Sam 12:24)

Thanks for sharing this. I like how you did the chain verses. I'm going to start using that myself.
