(Husbands, if you are reading, you are invited to pray these scriptures and thoughts over your wives.)
Around this time of year, it’s easy to spot a New Yorker before they even speak their first tell-tale word. For them, it’s already beach weather in Wilmington. But, soon there will be all sorts of local young love at the beach. College and high school kids take to the sun in the afternoons after class. Who can’t spot puppy love a mile away? They are usually running after each other chasing. Or, he’s throwing her in the water while she shrieks false resistance. Some even fly kites, play volleyball or frisbee.
I am a sexually charged wife. I welcome my husband’s caresses. I welcome my husband’s playful touch. I welcome and acknowledge that sexual intimacy is God-ordained.
A verse that came to mind that goes along with this is Genesis 26:8 (NASB):
“It came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah.”
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! That is an exactly appropriate verse. One that I had overlooked.
