Week 7

Warning: This post will discuss things that may not be too appropriate for children.

This week we discussed sexual intimacy. We discussed what the reasons behind sexual intimacy are. Which are, initiate parenthood, strengthen marriage relations, and symbol of unity. We also discussed what needs to happen in intimacy. In 1 Corinthian 7:1-7 it says that we're all entitled to kindess- due benevolence. My professor said, "As you're carefully attending to each other's needs, that's the best kind of love making there is." Sexual intimacy is one of two main reason people get divorced. Couples are not focusing on each others needs like they should, which can lead to a lot of problems. I can see how this could be a problem in any facets of life. If we always feel like our spouse is only focusing on themselves and thinking of their wants and needs it could be easy to be offended or hurt by this.
We also discussed what we would like to teach our children. Some of the things that I would like to teach our children would be 1. What their bodies are about (bodily responses). 2. When it's appropriate. 3. How children are created. 4. That it's sacred.
