"The Right Word For Sex"

Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant
and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of
the LORD I have brought forth a man." (Genesis 4:1)

It's amazing how creative parents can become when it's
time to explain the facts of life to a child,
especially in the vocabulary they choose. A parent
says to their child, "This is your chin. This is your
neck. That's your stomach. That's your ...
oogieboogiewagaboogie!" I've really heard some pretty
funny names for human anatomy - words invented by
red-faced parents, but not recognized by any doctor on
earth. Of course, they're better than a lot of the
words our children come home from school asking about.
But when it comes to sex, it's important to use the
right words - especially one.

I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You
today about "The Right Word For Sex."

Our word for today from the Word of God comes from the
Inventor of sex, who is, of course, God Himself. Our
world seems to have forgotten who invented sex - and
that the Inventor knows best. In the first experience
of sexual love in human history, Genesis 4:1 (our word
for today from the Word of God) says, "And Adam knew
Eve his wife; and she conceived." Now this is sex as
it was meant to be, still unspoiled, still the best.
And the word God uses to describe it is "know."

When two people come together physically, it's
designed to be the ultimate knowing. When two people
have sex that isn't an _expression of a deep, intimate
friendship and commitment, they aren't going all the
way - they'reonly going a small part of the way.
That's not ultimate knowing!

The Hebrew word for "know" here is "yadah." It conveys
the intimacy of two people who know each other as they
really are - a deep, personal, intimate, experiential
knowledge of another person. That's why God designed
this kind of bonding to be for a lifetime commitment,
confined within the protective fence He calls
marriage.

Ironically, when you take sex out of marriage, it
actually slows down the knowing process. The physical
tends to take over the relationship. The relationship
becomes more self-centered. A couple stops talking and
focuses on the physical. And, as a result, too many
people end up married to a stranger - someone whose
body they know, but not their heart. Because so many
relationships between men and women have been so
physical, a lot of those relationships are strangely
lonely. With sex dominating so many relationships, a
lot of men and women have never developed a friendship
- and maybe never will.

When the physical starts to take over, it often masks
serious weaknesses and dangers in the relationship -
hormones make you blind. Consequently, many people
have married the wrong person because their passion
blinded them. It actually kept them from really
knowing their partner. And they made a lifelong
mistake.

Remember how the Inventor designed sex: two people
bonded in a lifetime knowing experience, expressing it
through the unparalleled intimacy of sex. Anything
less is a cheap, twisted, ultimately disillusioning
counterfeit. If you've made that mistake, there's a
Savior who died for every sin, including our sexual
sin, who will forgive it if you'll repent of it - and
He'll begin to restore your emotional and spiritual
virginity. Don't settle for anything less than
Designer love where the right word for sex is K-N-O-W.
Know - as in knowing your best friend forever.

So, when they said "Yadah, Yadah, Yadah" on Seinfeld they were just talking about sex? Wink

LOL, Borad, I first thought of the same thing,Seinfield!

OK, this settles it. Mr L and I have always b een convinced what has made our marriage so special is the fact we were good friends for so many, many years. before we "got serious" about each other. Having such a good respectful friendship for each other certainly aided in our marriage b eing one others admire and wish they had also.

Pau, I liked this article you found and agree with every word.
It definitely worked for us Cool
