*TOPIC: HANDLING SEX IN MARRIAGE.*(Series 7) *Scripture Reading:* 1 Corinthians 7:4 *"The wife does not have [exclusive] authority over her own body, but the husband shares with her; and likewise the husband does not have [exclusive] authority over his body, but the wife shares with him."*(AMP) *3) RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR BODY BELONGS TO EACH OTHER, NOT TO YOURSELVES:* This is what most couples doesn't know. And that's why as a child of God, you must be genuinely born again and must have grown up though the teachings of God's word on daily basis which will transform you from being a child of God to a son of God. Every other things can change but God's principles on godly relationship or homes does not change. Matthew 19:5-6 declared;*"and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined inseparably to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate."*(AMP) So therefore, both husband and wife must come to this understanding that they're no longer two but one. Your body belongs to each other. Once you have been joined in the holy matrimony in accordance to God's will, the host of heaven doesn't see you as two anymore but one flesh. *"Then Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."*(Genesis 2:23-24,AMP). As husband, your body belong to your wife and it must not be contaminated so as not to harm your wife. And in the same way, wife, your body also belong to your husband and not yourself. It must not be contaminated too. *Do not deprive one another no matter the situation, do not keep your body away from your spouse, be free to one another, be devoted to one another, be committed to one another in the fear of God.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace. *Prayer point:* I receive Grace to understand God's precept and to do according to His will for my marriage in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
