Marital Sexual Show And Tell

Ethiopia is sometimes called the land of eternal spring. Even though Ethiopia has the hottest place on earth most of the country has springtime temperatures throughout the year. Springtime is the beginning of new life. Each one of us starts out life in the winter of a propensity to do wrong. Everyone needs the spring of a new life. By receiving God the Son Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin and the Lord of your life, you also receive a new life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!"

Nigeria's constitution says part of the duty of a citizen is to "make positive and useful contributions to the advancement, progress and well-being of the community where he resides." Wherever creyentes (believers) live, we have a new life to do likewise. Having and doing are not always the same thing.

Some children rarely see their parents kiss, hug and display other signs of affection, friendship and marital sexual relations.   

Most parents want their children who are called to marriage to have a good marriage. Yet some parents are not modeling a good marriage. A Chinese proverb says, "Binding your feet to prevent your own progress." A lack of married parental sexual show and tell allows someone else to show and tell children what sexual relations should be.

It's spiritual adultery not to have a loving, joyful, passionate marriage. Hebrews 13:4 Amplified Bible says, "Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous."

Sometimes people allow their marriages to become mediocre because they put too much energy into economic pursuits. Actor Denzel Washington has been married to Pauletta Washington for more than 30 years. The Washingtons are Christians. Denzel Washington says, "Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life."
