Looking For Romance? Heres What The Bible Says.

Where do you find anything about romance in the Bible

? You dont. Not anywhere.

Where do you look for romance or get your idea of romance?

The world?

Pride and Prejudice?

Romance movies?

Christian romance stories?

Advertisements?

Marriage retreats where you can have time to reconnect?

Now, I am not saying that any of these things are all bad, only that they are not where we want to get new ideas for our wish list from.

Let me tell you how Websters dictionary defines romance.

It is a story with matters that appeal to the imagination.

Being a romantic is defined as being foolish unpractical, and unrealistic. It is characterized as having a preoccupation with love.

If you are looking for romance, you are looking for more than God planned for you; youre looking for something the world thinks is real, and not something God designed. As long as you keep looking, you will never be content.

Discontent is the breeding ground for restlessness, and restlessness leads us to begin looking at what our husbands dont have. Then it is easy to become bitter over what we think is missing, and we may even find ourselves looking elsewhere for what we think we are missing.

What if your husband is not content? Affairs are not commenced or responded positively to by a contented and satisfied manand Im not speaking of intimate fulfillment here.

Discontented men who are tempted to look elsewhere for happiness are usually ones who respond to how the other woman makes them feel. Neglect your man and his feelings and you may find the wicked truth: there is a woman out there who will take your place and make sure he feels like a desirable person.

Intimacy. You may have wondered, Why intimacy? The answer is from the Bible in three -tions starting with a P and three -tions starting start with an R.

1.Procreation babies make the world go round. Genesis 1:28 commands us to be fruitful and multiply. That command has not been rescinded.

2.Proclamation picture of Christ and His church, each time a Christian husband and wife are intimate; it proclaims to Satan that Gods plan of love will win in the end. A happily married couple united emotionally, spiritually, and sexually is one of the best antidotes to the evil of the world.

3.Protection Intimacy is designed to be only within the commitment of marriage. In Proverbs 5:15 young men are told to steer clear of the sin of lust, Drink water from your own cistern, and fresh water from your own well. I Corinthians 7:2-5 without a doubt shows us that intimacy within marriage is a protection to married people against temptation, But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband . . . Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

4.Reconnection The emotional, spiritual, and sexual connection that happens during and lingers after intimacy is healing and it awakens your hunger for it so you want more. This oneness provides deep comfort during times of hurt. In II Samuel David and Bathshebas son died and the Bible says, David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. It is natural; the way God designed us to desire intimacy when we are experiencing heartache.

5.Recreation God thinks intimacy between a husband and wife should be fun. In Genesis 26:8 we read that Isaac and Rebekah were caressing in a private moment. In its original Hebrew, the word used in the Bible means sporting with. That sounds like fun to me. Also, when you read the Song of Songs, you see the king and his new wife are having a wonderful time with intimacy.

6.Rejuvenation Intimacy is good for our emotional and physical health. We talked about how it is good for us emotionally under Reconnection. Physically, it is good for us because it raises our endorphin level so it makes us happier. Plus, it burns calories. 60 minutes=250 calories, the same as taking a walk.
