Is sex a want or a need? By Timipre

 

People define sex in different ways.. for some people, sex is a need. For others, it's a want.

Sex is a sexually motivated behaviour. 

For me, Sex is having an intimate intercourse with someone who you truly have feelings for. I love!

Is sex a need or want in Marriage?

I've spent a whole lot of time thinking about this question for some months now and was able to put these together..

I'd take sex to be a want..

Want means having desire for something..

Sex creates a strong bond between a man and his spouse and as the bible says : Husbands and wives should be fair with each other about having sex.  A wife belongs to her husband instead of to herself, and a husband belongs to his wife instead of to himself.  So don’t refuse sex to each other, unless you agree not to have sex for a little while, in order to spend time in prayer. Then Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Corinthians 7:3-5

A lady once shared her story with me. She said, My marriage started up all rocky but my sex life got terribly bad due to pregnancy, birth control pills etc. Luckily, I had an understanding husband who helped me build my confidence back. My want for sex grew deeply as time went on. He taught me how 2 initiate sex and how 2 deal with my emotions. 

Women, generally, feel loved by having their husbands take good care of them, be attentive, be caring, compassionate and talk to them.  Husbands, generally, feel loved by having sex, to know that their wife desires them. These aren’t the only ways, but I believe they are the strongest.

Lastly, Couples should love and respect each other, and not deprive themselves of sex. We should be willing to serve our spouses at any time.
