do not enjoy sex when they
are
married.
“Several years ago,
researchers did a study on who was having the best
sex. Conventional wisdom says that the people who are having the
best
sex are those who’ve had a lot of experience with a variety of
partners,
and who feel free from rules and regulations about sexual
activity—
in other words, the people who have sex whenever they want with
whomever they want.
“Guess what? Conventional wisdom is wrong. According to the
studies, married Christian women are having the best sex. That’s
right.
Church women are the most satisfied group of sexually active
people.
I’m betting their husbands are pretty happy, too” . Put
simply, those who follow God’s instructions are the people
enjoying sex
the most and receiving the greatest satisfaction!
Godly
leadership
within
marriage
In Paul’s explanation that marriage is similar to the
relationship
between Christ and the Church, he also teaches us about
leadership
within the husband-wife relationship. Just as Jesus is the head
of the
Church, husbands are to be the leaders within their marriages:
“For the
husband is head of the wife, as
also Christ is head of the church
.
.
.” (Ephesians 5:23).
The way Jesus leads the
Church is the way husbands
should lead their wives. Jesus
was and is “.
.
. the Savior of the
body”—the Church (verse 23).
He literally gave His life in love
for the Church.
With this thought in mind,
Paul instructed husbands in the
way they should lead: “Hus
-
bands, love your wives, just as
Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He
might
sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
that He
might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot
or wrin
-
kle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without
blemish.
“So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies;
he
who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own
flesh,
but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the
church”
(verses 25-29).
When a leader exhibits the kind of love and commitment that
Jesus
showed the Church, it’s easy to follow such a person. We know
that this
kind of leader always has our best interests at heart. Paul’s
teaching to
husbands was that they needed to be the kind of leaders who
would also
be easy for their wives to follow.
Based on this expectation of husbands, Paul taught wives to
“submit

Instruction Manual for Marriage
Husbands and wives who fully and mutually submit themselves
to the pattern Paul reveals usually find happiness and peace.
