The Art of Intimacy

In our culture, sex sells everything from cars to carbonated drinks, from bran flakes to boats. Our society promotes sexuality as more fantasy than reality. Few areas in our marriage lug as much baggage as sex. Expectations are at an all-time high. Husbands expect their wives to be a Victoria's Secret models. Wives expect Casanova to sweep her off her feet. With such great expectations, both could end up being disappointed. At the same time, any meaningful conversation on the subject generally gets pushed aside by dirty dishes, kids, work, and responsibilities. It's easier just to pull the covers over the exasperation.

While the world creates expectations based on fantasy, God created great expectations based on reality. The Author of sex knows exactly how it should be enjoyed - and He never meant for us to be in the dark. He desires for us to be fulfilled with our deepest sexual needs, not frustrated.

THE BIG IDEA: The best sex is with the right person at the right time.
