Bible Question:
If you are married what is acceptable sexual behavior between husban and wife. What is allowed and not allowed within the marriage. Thanks |
Bible Answer: I'll attempt to answer your question in general terms. Where the bible speaks, we are firm and where the bible is silent, we are free to live according to the principles of Godly living. To my knowledge, the bible does not discuss in detail what is allowed and what is prohibited between husband and wife. In principle then... That which expresses passionate love and unbridled joy for both husband and wife, that which promotes spiritual intimacy, that which honors and respects each person, those are the behaviors that glorify God. Sex is His gift to us; we should cherish it. That which expresses selfishness or lust, that which denegrates or objectifies a person, that which injures, that which manipulates, that which does not honor the other person, etc, those are the behaviors that must be avoided. Leviticus 15:19 and 24 declares that sexual relations during menstration renders both unclean. However, as I understand it, this relates to ceremonial cleanness. In Christ, we are freed from the OT law, so so this issue may not imply anything about sexual conduct between husband and wife today. I'll leave this point for others more knowledgeable than me. Ultimately, in this area, like all areas of our lives, the Spirit is our guide. |
