• It is easy to say that a couple which does not have conflict/problems is healthy
• It is also easy to say that, a healthy couple is the couple without conflict/problems
• But how many families or couples have common ideas/thinking/wishes?
• Regarding many decisions, it is not possible to avoid misunderstanding/conflict
• Sometimes the problem is lack of affection/emotions (feedback) and how they communicate their feelings
• For Christians, they are still struggling with their body and their sexuality
• Human beings have 5 dimensions which must grow together: physical, emotional, mental, social and spirit ual
The Bible considers sexuality positively for the couple: (1Corint.7:5)
The Book of “Cantique” is showing how love is; where everyone must enjoy the love from his/her partner using all human sense
In Proverbs we are invited to enjoy sexuality
• Love is over emotions and our being• In Corinthians 13, we can find the description
of love; but we have changed what GOD said about love
• sex and intimacy: simple emotions or feeling which we want completed immediately
• The intimacy we want is to be loved (egoistic)• Really love is turned to others: give and not
waiting for a reward (unconditional)
Who is able to do that? (real love) We cannot have such love when we have
never been loved as such WHY? Because there are many things we ignore
and which we refuse to accept: when others are doing wrong to us, we also do something wrong to them
1 corinth 7:8-9; ……………But if you cannot……. It is better to marry than to burn with passion
The Bible condemned all sex relations outside marriage
Sexuality demands security: gives you intimacy
It is like a desert of the love: marriage
Le désir L'excitation Le plateau L'orgasme La résolution
Sexuality is not limited to sexual intercourse. It is incorporated in our humanity : feelings, ……………..
In order to succeed in marriage: you have to know your partnerYou have to accept the differences between
youHave good communication
