Scripture ... SoS 2:3; 4:4, 16; 5:1; 8:2; 1 Cor 7:1-6; Heb 13:4 ... Mommapbs, greetings ... I'm going to try to follow the rules of the forum. The context of 1 Corinthians 7:4 is verses 1-6, some add 7. Sex is normal and if I want it, my wife should consent. However, I should be sensitive ... and know her needs and desires. I should never ask if I sense she doesn't want to. The world od the Corinthians was machismo. The man had absolute say. His wife was property. If he wanted sex, he got ... from her, a mistress or prositute. We read that she was on a equal plane and he was only to have sex with her. Hebrews 13:4 bears this out, too. Solomon seems to be speaking of the lovers tasting, eating and drinking of each other's bodies (SoS 2:3; 4:4, 16; 5:1; 8:2). I'm not sure what that means, but it sound like oral sex. Read the book. Hope this helps, Searcher |

Greetings Searcher! Some observations: Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4 Marriage partners are not excluded from holding their relationship "in honor among all." (I think that this key word, "honor," is needed more than ever today!) In the context of 1 Cor 7 - intimacy is a gift of God to be mutually desired and enjoyed. Refusing intimacy is to be mutally agreed upon but not for self-centered purposes. (verse 5) I agree that the Song of Songs (Solomon) is suggestive of sexual enjoyment. I am glad that it is not defined, per se, as that would appear to limit rather than allow for a varied expression of conjugal intimacies. The marraige bed "undefined," does not make it undefiled! I believe the key word in this passage of 1 Cor 7 is "agreement." Thanks Searcher! Blessings, Mommapbs |
