Week 7 The importance of sexual intimacy
How important is sexual intimacy? I believe that sexual
intimacy, no matter what, will have an lasting effect on the individuals
involved. Whether this be good or bad. Sexual intimacy is something so private,
so personal, such an intimate part of one's being, that it would be naive to
think that it does not have some sort of effect.
Sexual intimacy is something that, when used properly
(Marriage) and with consideration for the other, can enhance intimacy in the
couple and bring them closer together. However, when it is abused (outside of
marriage, recklessly etc) this is a time where your very soul, as well as the
other involved, may be damaged and hurt.
I understand that this is a very sensitive topic, but I
would like to state my beliefs that sexual intimacy is something sacred created
by God to not only bring life into this world, but to bring a husband and a
wife closer to one another and closer to God. When it is practiced anywhere
outside of the bonds of marriage, or even improperly within marriage (abuse
etc), the individual will have damage inflicted on a part of themselves.
Whether this be emotional pain of physical repercussions. The act of sex is something that is too sacred
just to throw around anywhere.
I wan to be clear that I don't think that sex is something
that is bad. But I do think that it is something that is so incredibly sacred
that it should be safeguarded until the time is right.
