This is a difficult topic but I...Great post David.<br /><br />This is a difficult topic but I'm glad we're writing about sex. As Christians, we let the world talk way too much about sex while we're way too silent.<br /><br />In answer to your question - is the Bible realistic about sex, and how do you manage? <br />While I find western Christianity exceedingly unrealistic about sex, I find the Bible exceedingly realistic. One of the things I love about the Bible is that it is so honest. It it's pages I see lots of sex; in it's beauty (Song of Solomon and the references in the NT about one our bodies belonging to each other in marriage) and in it's perversions (Lot's daughters having sex with him, David with Bathsheba, rapes, etc.). The Bible shows sex to be a part of life. The apostle Paul was really clear in 1 Cor. 7:6 that not everyone has the gift of singleness; which I take in part to mean that most of us are meant to be married and need to have sex on a routine basis. <br /><br />As to how I manage, it's easier since I'm married. But I do encourage my sons in truth and to make wise decisions. And I was totally supportive of my oldest son getting married at what, in our current world, many would consider young (age 22).Tracyhttp://abundantliving-tracy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947901677057635396.post-82558595444944064532010-07-12T13:11:17.877-04:002010-07-12T13:11:17.877-04:00I'm soooooo glad I post on Friday.
