Sexuality in Marriage and Family
When God made
the first couple, included in his emotional and physical bodies and the sexual
instinct. And it did so with very high purposes, as everything that the Creator
made. Thus, sexuality is part of the life of any human being. It, no one can
get away. When someone says they are male or female, is implied the idea of
sex, so natural. In marriage, sexuality plays a fundamental role, essential
for the proper relationship between spouses, within the plan of God for
marriage. Let us reflect a little on this important subject.
BIBLICAL VISION OF SEX WAS MADE BY GOD
- God made man,
including sex, and "saw that it was good." Genesis 1:31. The hands
that made the eyes, the brain, also made sexual organs. He who created the
mind, also created the sexual instinct. - Jesus, even in his divine mission,
was normal man, including sexuality, sanctifying the purity and holiness of
your body. He was circumcised on the eighth day. Luke 2:21-23. "And the
Word became flesh ..." (man) Jo L.L. 1
THE PLAN
OF GOD IN RELATION TO SEX
God
wanted, in his sovereignty, the man DIRECTLY participate in the work of
creation, through procreation, giving you wonderful instruments which are the
organs and the sexual instinct. In this plan, we observe the following, within
the will of God:
USE OF SEXUAL ORGANS OF PRIVATE IS MARRIED.
In order
to grow and multiply was not given a single, but married. Gen. 1.27,28. - God
did not want man to live alone. Gen. 2.18,24 Psalms 68.6, 113.9. - God calls
man to enjoy sex with his wife and not his girlfriend or fiancee, In Song of
Solomon, has exaltation of conjugal love and not between unmarried. Ct 4.1-12,
Ephesians 5.22-25.

SEXUALITY IN MIDDLE-AGED
From the
middle-aged (40-55 years), difficulties begin to arise sexual area. There are a
number of crises: physical, emotional, nervous, etc..
The way to
tackle the problems of this stage of life depends on the mental attitude of
each one: if you trust in God, faces with ease, and win if you do not trust,
sees it as a tragedy, and is defeated;
What is
the end for some, for others it is the beginning of a new phase of life, full
of experiences, accomplishments and positive expectations;
OWN CHANGES OF MIDDLE-AGED
The
physical appearance changes dramatically, the mirror seems CRUEL: fats where we
do not want there; beard going gray, sagging skin, wrinkles, baldness, etc..,
It affects sexuality;
physical
energies diminish, but resistance may remain and even increase the beneficial
use of mental energies, leading to emotional balance.
If you get
stuck youth, wanting to stop time, man is nothing;
If you have
spiritual vision will be thankful to God for being in middle age, facing
changes as normal in your life;
The man
comes to see the older woman, the less attractive your eyes, there are men who
despair, become depressed, and others give way to temptation, falling into the
sin of adultery, fornication, etc.. no one who seeks refuge in porn, erotic
movies and magazines, but this only increases the problem. Great men of God
have fallen into the trap of sex.
CARE REQUIRED FOR A HEALTHY LIFE
In middle age,
more than in other period of life, it is important to use an appropriate plan
of emotional and physical development. One should not want to compete with the
young but important adequate nutrition, regular medical examination, according
to age, emotional control, rest systematic, common sense, discipline, beyond
the healthy practice of proper exercise (walking are the most recommended).
The Bible does
not condemn the exercise. Just shows that, in relation to piety, for some value
(1 Timothy 4.8).
The Christian
man and woman need to understand the value of sexuality, and be thankful to God
for that. There needs to be a comprehensive overview of the subject, so do not
get carried away by the concepts and prejudices that only do harm the good
relationship between people, especially between husband and wife, to whom God
gave the blessing of conjugal union, as something beautiful, holy and pleasing,
not only procreative end but as a means of obtaining a stable relationship,
full of joy and pleasure.
The role of family in child sex education
No doubt, if
there is a recipe for a healthy adolescence and consequently set a sexuality,
she would undergo a significant parent, they should match or harmonize
authority and affection.
Young people
prefer the family as the primary agent of sexuality education, but refer to
feel enormous difficulty of communication in general, even more on the topic
sexuality. The absence of parents ultimately facilitate the media to occupy the
main role socialization of children and adolescents.
In relation to
children x parent education for love and sexuality education you can not
outsource. The family has to assume its role, may, however, rely on the help of
the doctor, the teacher, etc..
You need to pay
contributions over time as best as possible between all the needs in the
education of children. The amount of time parents spend with their children,
but not necessarily in a good relationship. It is necessary that we improve the
quality of the relationship in the moments in which we are with family, or with
children, either with (a) partner (a).
"The role
of the family unit is extremely important and begins by the fact that parents
live a cohesive family, united and orderly, respectable in order to function as
a model to be followed by the young model that they will seek to duplicate
eventually when you get your time. Such a component is unofficial, so to speak,
of what is called formal sexual education, because everything depends on a
process of teaching / learning, which starts very early at home from the moment
that the child observes and abstracts the lives of their families that set of
facts that eventually you will be marked for the rest of their lives,
"says Ronald Bossemeyer well known Brazilian gynecologist.
As a final
comment, we emphasize the importance of encouraging dialogue, understanding and
trust are essential to bring parents and children. Not to mention the warm
contact, affection, food for the body of the soul.
STDs
Women need
health care, need to do periodic examinations. Ex: Pap smear, ultrasound, etc
...
Diseases
detected preventively have higher chances of cure, improvement, the diagnosis
detected immediately, helps in better recovery.
CONCLUSION
The Christian
man must understand the value of sexuality, and be thankful to God for that.
There needs to be a comprehensive overview of the subject, so do not get
carried away by the concepts and prejudices that only do harm the good
relationship between people, especially between husband and wife, to whom God
gave the blessing of conjugal union, as something beautiful, holy and pleasing,
not only procreative end but as a means of obtaining a stable relationship,
full of joy and pleasure.
