Chapter 38
Assorted Biblical Principles 1-12
No. 1 Principle of Humility in Sex
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels
of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put
her away all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:29(a) It is necessary for both the man and woman to be humble in order to have sexual
happiness in marriage. It takes humility to be naked or to bare your private parts
and be in certain positions for sex.
(b) Some people are just too proud to get deeply involved in sex. Humility will open
new chapters in your sex life.^1
No. 2 Principle of Staying Together to Discover Each Other
When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he
be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall
cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
Deuteronomy 24:5(a) We recommend that newly married couples spend their first night together at a
place where they can have maximum privacy e.g a hotel, and also to take some
time off for a honeymoon.
(b) It is also important that they avoid pregnancy in the first few months or even a
year so that they can adjust to each other.^2
No. 3 Principle of Drinking from Your Own Cistern
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Proverbs 5:15
