MEMORY VERSE: Songs of Solomon 1:13
A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
BIBLE PASSAGE: Proverbs 5:15-20 KJV.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
INTRODUCTION: Sexual intimacy means that a married couple (man and woman) share a special bond characterised by a shared sensual expression. They understand each other on a sexual level that has emotion behind it, instead of just being a physical act. Sexual intimacy generates pleasure and natural satisfaction. It is an obligatory act in marriage. It is a complex expression of love and a desire to communicate such love non-verbally. It gives the husband and wife a chance to express all the good feelings and thoughts they have towards each other.

1. SOME FACTS ABOUT SEXUAL INTIMACY IN MARRIAGE
Sexual intimacy in marriage is neither dirty nor sinful (1 Corinthians 7:2-5). It is God-ordained primarily for mutual pleasure (Genesis 2:24-25) and secondarily for procreation (Genesis 1:28). It is only in the context of a legitimate marriage that sexual intimacy is approved by God (Genesis 4:1).
Satisfactory sexual intimacy provides the forum in which deep relationship is developed, not only physically but also psychologically and emotionally (Proverbs 5:15-20). It is a common pathway that provides an opportunity for care, demonstration of love and the reciprocity of such (SOS. 4:1-7). It should be a lifelong relationship for married couples (Matthew 19:4-6). If approached correctly and are well aroused, both husband and wife can reach the level of sexual pleasure or excitement called orgasm (SOS. 1:2; 7:3, Proverbs 5:19). Sex should not be withheld or demanded. If one spouse does not want to have sex the other spouse should agree to abstain. If one spouse wants to have sex the other spouse should agree. It is all a matter of compromise to achieve intimacy (1 Corinthians 7:4). Sex in marriage should not just be used for gratification or as a weapon of revenge. God designed the body to respond pleasurably to touch in certain areas. He could have made us with no desire for sexual intimacy and no gratifying sensations during sexual intimacy, but He did not (James 1:17).
