SPIRITUAL
CONNECTIONS
TO SEXUAL MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIPS
|
PAUL
FROST:
A successful marriage demands a divorce; a divorce from your own
self-love.
ANDRÉ MAUROIS (1885–1967):
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every
day.
Author and Theologian C. S. LEWIS:
In this department of life, as in every other, thrills come at
the beginning and do not last. . . . Let the thrill go—let
it die away—go on through that period of death into the quieter
interest and happiness that follow—and you will find you
are living in a world of new thrills.
SIR ROGER L’ESTRANGE (1616–1704):
It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water. They are
good servants but bad masters.
SYDNEY J. HARRIS (1917–1986):
Most of the so-called sexual incompatibility in marriage springs
from the delusion that sex is an activity when it is primarily
a relationship; if the relationship is faulty, the activity cannot
long be self-sustaining or truly satisfactory.
GEDDES MACGREGOR:
Sex is a very holy subject.
MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE:
Sex is the ersatz or substitute religion of the twentieth century.
J. I. PACKER:
What then is the place and purpose of sex? God intends, as the
story of Eve’s creation from Adam shows, that the “one
flesh” experience should be an expression and a heightening
of the partner’s sense that, being given to each other, they
now belong together, each needing the other for completion and
wholeness.
Children are born from their relationship, but this is secondary:
what is basic is the enriching of their relationship itself through
their repeated “knowing” of each other as persons who
belong to each other exclusively and without reserve.

1
Cor. 6:18 -Message
There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others.
In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these
bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming
one" with another.
Ephes.
5:25 -Message
Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ
did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting.
