Dutiful Sex


It is common for a wife to be uninterested or unwilling to have sex because she is emotionally
dissatisfied, tired or sick. This natural fallout of events has led to the break-up of many
marriages. Let us remember that some of the older generation folks were polygamists. This
probably came about because some wives were not willing to have regular sex with their
husbands or complained frequently of sickenesses and so the husbands just found other women.
We as born-again Christians cannot do that! We only have each other. So let us not defraud,
cheat, or torture each other by unexpectedly denying or depriving each other.


Remember that each time we abstain from sex it must be by MUTUAL (both of you agreeing)
CONSENT.


(a) The man usually has a stronger sexual desire and wants to have sex more often.
This may sometimes be surprising to the woman.
(b) But it is your lawful and spiritual DUTY to give yourself to each other daily or as
often as required.^1
(c) The Bible calls it FRAUD (a criminal offence) to deny your partner of his/her
lawful rights to your body.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may
give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt
you not for your incontinency.
