3-1-2017 – A Word to the Wise: Moreover, I would submit that what occurs during that first year of marriage with two people who are cooperating with God’s laws is indeed a one-of-a kind-experience, which cannot be repeated. The fitting process only happens once in our lifetime, and the fit can only be for those two people. Let us look at what is supposed to happen sexually during the first year of marriage, and how it is affected by multiple sex partners. Perhaps this will give us further insight into the uniqueness of one’s mate. The importance of the first year for the marriage is emphasized by God when He mandates that during the first year, the man is exempt from everything —to allow him to tend to the marital relationship. What does the couple discover during that first year? First, although the idea is appealing, the chief purpose of sex is not to have children. Sex meets man’s need for companionship, and is a reminder of those days in the garden when man communed with the Lord about the deeper things of life. One needs only to recall the intense satisfaction of discovery of spiritual truths to acknowledge the truth of this.
