MARITAL AIDS: A Commitment To Intimacy

Can 365 Nights Of Sex Bolster A Marriage? When Their Marriages Fell Into The Doldrums, Two Long-Married Couples Took Action - CBS News "But will daily sex really help a relationship that's hit a rough patch? Some experts say yes; others aren't so sure. As for the two couples who tried it, the Browns and the Mullers, both say the experiment strengthened their marriages in -- and out -- of the bedroom." Two couples have recently released books telling their story of how their commitment to intimate relations reignited their marriage. Here are the titles: Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!) by Douglas Brown 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy by Charla Muller with Betsy Thorpe. There was no indication in the article that this was a spiritual quest at all, but I wonder if these couples have touched upon something that God intended for sexual relations in marriage. Not so much the emphasis on everyday but the frequency of relations led to their marriage being something that God intended marriage to be. I am reminded of Relevant Church in Florida who did the 30 Day Sex Challenge several months ago. Too many people thought it was a gimmick to get people to come to church. I really believe it wasn't. I honestly think they wanted to minister to their people by encouraging their participation. It seems they knew what these two couples found out. The God of the Bible is the author of love and lovemaking. We as His people ought to be experts at both.
