We are mistaken if we think sex equals love. Yes, it is an expression of love within a marriage founded on God. But it is not love. And any kind of sex outside of a marriage founded on God is not an expression of love, but merely a physical act.

But in order for a marriage to be founded on God, both the husband and the wife must be each individually in love with God more than each other. We are only truly happy when we put God first above all else, whether we are married or single.

Many seem to think that sex equals love. But what happens when we have this idea in our head? If we think sex equals love, then what happens when our sex life is unsatisfying? Have you ever had sex with your wife, then wanted to look at porn because it “just wasn’t good enough?” If this is how we feel, then something is wrong.

God does not intend that we should look at porn because the last time we had sex wasn’t earth shattering. Understand, my friends, that not every time will be better than the last.

We need to learn to put God first in everything. Deuteronomy 6:5 says, “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” When we get this right, we will begin to understand what marriage, sex, and most importantly, what love is all about.
