The Sacredness of Sexual Intimacy


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.
