Wife
Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose—
   don’t ever quit taking delight in her body.
Proverbs 5:19 (TM)

I love the way scripture addresses some issues head on. Issues that we tend to sweep under the rug or ignore. For example, I don’t think you’ll hear too many sermons from the pulpit on Proverbs 5:19. But, we should. We spend so much time speaking out about the evils of adultery, pornography, and sexual sin – but we hear precious little about the joys and fulfillment of sexual intimacy inside of marriage. As Mike Warnke once said, "If you spend all your time doing the ‘dos’ you won’t have time to do the ‘don’ts’, and if you could you wouldn’t so you can’t so you don’t so it’s cool!"
