Model Marriage by Bishop Dag Heward Mills

Model Marriage

(i) You don’t need to wash every time after sex.

All the above make the sex art a less laborious event.

The Man

1. Things not to do

Do not make scathing remarks about your wife’s body, for instance

comments like: “Your stomach is too big.”

But speaking the truth in love...

Ephesians 4:15

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife

loveth himself.

Ephesians 5:28

2. Things to do

(a) Be nice to your wife during the day, and speak lovingly to her. For

example, a phone call makes her feel that you are thinking about her.^3

(b) Take a bath often, especially at the end of a hard day’s work.

(c) Do not be in a hurry to have sex. Take time to stimulate your wife by

kissing and caressing her.^4

It is recommended that couples have sex at least everyday or every other day.
