Week 2/25/13


Something that is so important yet so sacred is the topic of intimacy. First of all, it should ONLY be between a husband and wife. This is so vitally important to realize because it is God’s commandment. There is a reason why God views sexuality as being so sacred though. It is because God is literally giving us the power to create life – powers that only God has. When we procreate, we become one with God. Besides intercourse being a physical and emotional attachment, it is a spiritual attachment. When one defiles something that is meant to be so good and wonderful (at the right time and place), it is a sin comparable to murder in Heavenly Father’s eyes. In marital intimacy, it is important to understand that intimacy should not just be on a physical level. Also, if there is anything demoralizing, demeaning, or something that degrades one partner – it should not be done. Complete loyalty to one’s partner is essential and an easy thing to do when we are aware of things to watch out for. Infidelity is another great sin, especially for members of the LDS church because we make sacred covenants with Heavenly Father in the temple. When these covenants are broken, we have committed terrible sin. Something to consider is that “the grass is always greener on the side of the fence you water.” In other words, when we entertain thoughts of other people or immoral material, those options will constantly be in our minds and be a temptation for us.
