To help you accomplish the three purposes for your creation, God designed special hormones of love to be released during frequent, ecstatic lovemaking.

These hormones help you become more loving toward your mate and children. They promote bonding with your companion and children. The hormones also calm your nerves and make you more at peace with the world.

If you’re asking yourself, “Does God want me to have good sex?”, just refer to two Bible verses from the books of Genesis and Isaiah.

Genesis 1:28: “And God blessed them; and God said to them, [1] ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and [2] subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’”

Isaiah 43:7: “Everyone who is called by My name, and [3] whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed even whom I have made.”

Indeed, having jubilant sex helps you serve God and accomplish the three purposes for which he created you, as stated in the Bible verses above:

1. To bear and raise children.
2. To work and subdue the earth.
3. To glorify God.

Understanding the purpose of creation and the role of these hormones provides insights into three reasons God wants you to love and enjoy passionate sex:

1. Frequent lovemaking turns you into a better parent.

For over 3000 years in the Song of Solomon, God patiently taught us how to choose a lifelong sexual partner. In the true story, a young virgin of Israel must decide if she will marry rich, powerful King Solomon who loves only her body or the poor shepherd who cherishes and values her as a person.

The drama begins as Solomon succumbs to the heat of lust when he spies the beautiful girl working in the vineyards. He courts her over a whirlwind of three days as he repeatedly tells her how beautiful she is.

Instead of accepting his proposal, the maiden asks for time to think. She pleads with the palace virgins not to force her to marry Solomon before they learn to love each other. The story turns when the maiden experiences a wet dream that clears her mind.

She rejects Solomon in a not-so-kind or timid way and leaves to marry her shepherd. She tells her groom:

“Oh that you were like a brother to me
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts.
If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you;
No one would despise me, either.
“I would lead you and bring you
Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me;
I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.
“Let his left hand be under my head
And his right hand embrace me” — (Song of Solomon 8:1-3)

The maiden credits their similar loving homes for preparing them for a wonderful marriage. They began learning to love at their mother’s breasts. Touching and sucking release hormones that bond the mother and baby while enveloping them in love.

Additionally, her mother instructed her about sex being for women as well as men. The maiden promises to serve the shepherd an aphrodisiac of pomegranate juice to enhance his masculinity. She can hardly wait for their marriage to engage in passionate lovemaking.

Oprah interviewed Charla Muller about her book 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy. She asked Charla how making love every night for a year as a 40th birthday present to her husband affected their two children. She replied that the whole family became more loving and touching.

Charla’s experience shows how the hormones of frequent love making spill over onto your children, even teenagers. The love in the air between you and your mate surrounds them with affection that brings out the best in them.

2. Passionate lovemaking helps you earn a living.

The word “subdue” in the Genesis creation account means “to make to serve, by force if necessary… It assumes that the party being subdued is hostile to the subduer, necessitating some sort of coercion if the subduing is to take place.”

In other words, the earth will resist mankind’s efforts to control and subdue it. Men and women contend with the weather, weeds, insects, and even the hostility and ignorance of other people. Lack of scientific knowledge complicates their efforts.

But God does not command you to work hard to support your family and then leave you as an unwilling victim of stress, depression, and sleepless nights. He blesses you with his design of the hormones of love to balance your labor with joy and laughter:

Ecclesiastes 9:9: “Enjoy life with the woman whom you love [sexually or otherwise — Strong] all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.”

These hormones reward, refresh, and renew you after working hard to survive on a hostile planet. The more you share these hormones in the arms of your mate, the more you become creative and successful in your work.

3. Ecstatic lovemaking helps you glorify God.

God openly boasts about love making being his proudest, most brilliant accomplishment in the creation:

There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Four which I do not understand:
The way of an eagle in the sky,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
And the way of a man with a maid. —  (Proverbs 30:18-19).

This is not God’s empty locker-room brag. It’s God’s genius for husbands and wives to enjoy and to help them accomplish his purposes for creating them. Proverbs says the first three things are too wonderful to understand. But four amazing things are hidden from man’s understanding.

Ancient man has always attempted to fly like the eagle. Finally, the Wright Brothers solved the puzzle. Man continues to improve on their initial discovery from airplanes, to rocket ships, to drones.

To scale a mountain, man must strap on cleats and use safety lines. Even then, he can’t go wherever he wants like the agile snake. Many men and women die while trying to imitate the serpent.

Matthew Maury said, “If God said paths are in the sea, I’m going to find them” (Psalms 8:8). He spent eighteen years charting the ocean’s currents. Today worldwide commerce and travel depend on them.

The eagle, the snake, and the paths in the sea testify to God’s superior intelligence in creating the world. And mankind seeks to replicate his divine wisdom. But the fourth is the most profound and difficult for man to figure out — the way of a man with a maid:

It’s more than a male hopping a female’s bones. Animals do that.
It’s more than a woman moaning and groaning. Prostitutes do that.
It’s more than a vibrator shaking up an orgasm. Laboratory subjects do that.

None can compare to God’s design for a man’s gentle touch to stir up a maid’s emotions and powerful sensations. Together they speak God’s beautiful language of love.

If you don’t cultivate a loving sexual relationship with your spouse, all of life becomes much harder:

1. Raising healthy, loving children.
2. Dealing with the problems of earning a living and caring for a home
3. Trying to serve and glorify God in whose mind the sexual relationship originated.

God’s love shows in his creation of the hormones of love to relieve you of the burdens of daily living. He preserved a whole book of the Bible, the Song of Solomon, to teach you the secrets for a lifetime of passionate lovemaking with your mate. He hopes you’ll choose to love and enjoy passionate sex — his proudest creation.

It isn’t nice when a relationship gets to the point where you’re questioning whether you still find him attractive. When you guys first started dating, you probably found him irresistible. You literally had eyes for no one else! Now, your eyes are not only wandering elsewhere, but you’ve began to raise the possibility that your man isn’t just the second or third hottest man in the room – he may not even be attractive to you one bit.

Worse still, you know your feelings for him aren’t as strong as they once were. But is this situation retrievable? Are you going through a rough period of your own? Or is it really time to call it quits?

Unfortunately, our feelings for our partners change as time moves on. It’s no one’s fault. Let’s take a look at the 10 warning signs you are not attracted to your man anymore.

Everything he does rubs you up the wrong way

He literally can’t do anything without it getting on your nerves. From the way he wears the same faded jeans every day of the week, to the way he chews loudly on his food … what you once found cute and endearing you now find total annoying!

This is always a bad sign. If even the small things he does irritate you, it’s not good.

It’s strange how this happens – how the things we used to love about him now annoys us. But it sometimes happens. And when it does, it might be time to get out. Otherwise, he might get upset if your resentment builds and builds and comes out in ways you didn’t intend.

You Snap Easily

Not only does every little thing he does annoy you, but you get really snappy any time he does these things.

“Why are you wearing the same jeans again, oh my gosh!!”

He can’t understand your reaction. What’s the big deal?

The big deal is that you’ve had enough. You’re no longer attracted to him, and it’s beginning to show.

It’s Inconvenient When He Calls Randomly

Remember when he used to call you up at the most random moments? It could have been 11PM when he called and you still had work to do. But you LOVED it when he called and would spend an hour or two happily chatting to him. Work could wait.

Now, though, it really annoys you when he calls you up without warning. Sometimes you stare at the phone for ages, wondering if you should answer. It’s inconvenient that he’s calling. You’ve got other things to do.

Why does he have to keep calling? Hasn’t he got better things to be doing?

If it irritates you when he calls you up without warning, it’s a pretty big sign that things aren’t going too well.

He doesn’t do the things he used to do

Think back to what attracted you to him so much in the first place. Was it the way he did his hair? Was it his beard? Was it the way he dressed, or the way he was so outgoing?

A cousin of the deceased who is the Assembly Member for the area, Owusu Asante Ahmed, said the deceased and his colleagues were working at a construction firm close to the site when he fell into the pit.

[contextly_sidebar id=”5WinWJzwOkGxOuIiPrtGjAY92hcFSZvj”]Mr. Asante explained that, colleagues of the deceased wanted to initially help him after he fell into the pit, but they failed after several attempts, prompting them to inform elders of the community about the incident.

“He went there as a labourer at the construction site so after the day’s work, all the labourers decided to go there and wash themselves in the abandoned Galamsey pit. The water was so deep that he could not control himself after diving into the water so later on the boys around thought that they could not save him so they decided to come to the community and inform the elders; so I drove to the place and we found some swimmers to get him out of the pond.”

“Before we could bring him out of the pond, he was already dead, but me not being a medical officer could not confirm his death so I took him to a nearby medical centre for a medical assistant to confirm for us and they said he was dead already.”

A few weeks ago, a similar incident, involving a 15-year-old Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidate of the Sekyere Himang Methodist JHS in the Wassa East District of the Western Region, occurred.

The deceased, Ransford Donkor, reportedly went to wash in the abandoned pit after carrying farm produce from his village to Hemang, which is few meters away for onward transportation to Beposo, a popular market centre.

His lifeless body was found floating in the pit by some community members who retrieved it for burial.

Stephen Donkor, 21, has been charged with attempted murder of his girlfriend, Mary Oforiwaa, 18. Donkor’s plea was not taken and he was remanded in police custody by the presiding Judge, Mr James Kojo Botah.

Oforiwaa was not present in court because she was still receiving treatment at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

[contextly_sidebar id=”om2ALeni0qI8oqOFEQ9g7tVrh7ZRHkEA”]The prosecution’s case was that Oforiwaa, a trader and Donkor had been in a relationship for some time and lived in a wooden kiosk at Darkuman Cable and Wireless.

The prosecutor C/Inspector Gregory Yeboah told the court that Oforiwaa had been threatening to end the relationship for some time as she suspected Donkor of cheating on her.

C/Inspector Yeboah said on October 12, 2016 around 10:00p.m., Donkor came home from work but did not find food to eat. This led to a quarrel between the two, but a witness in the case intervened. After wards, Donkor was said to have gone for acid which he hid under the kiosk.

The prosecutor said at about 1:00a.m the next day, Donkor went for the acid and poured it on the victim who was fast asleep.

He said after the act, he run out of the room,while Oforiwaa woke up screaming for help, and a witness in the case went to her aid.

Inspector Yeboah said while in the process of helping her, Donkor emerged, claiming some of the acid was also poured on him.

Prosecutor Yeboah said Donkor together with the witness rushed Oforiwaa to the Faith Hospital and she was referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital where she had been on admission.

According to the prosecutor, Donkor proceeded to make a report with the Darkuman police that someone had poured acid on his girlfriend, saying he suspected the witness in the case.

He said the witness was arrested, but after thorough investigations, it was revealed that it was Donkor who committed the crime.

“There just aren’t any good guys out there anymore,” you lament.

Bad relationships will do this to you. After a while of dating Mr Wrong and Mr Cheater, it’s so easy to quit the dating scene for good and adopt some cats.

I know it’s hard to believe, but there are good guys out there. Lots of them, in fact. In America, there are 20,000,000 single men. Amidst all the frogs are some real princes. You just have to know where to look.

“Where?” I hear you asking.

So let’s take a look at 10 ways to find yourself a faithful guy.

Online Dating

I know, I know. You’re as sceptical as I once was about online dating. In fact, you might already have tried it, only to find that it just made you trust guys even less.

But there is no denying that for every bad online dating story is a fantastic one. More and more people are meeting their soul mate online. And if they can find the good guys, so can you.

When it comes to online dating, you have to be selective, and you have to know the red flags that should tell you whether or not a man is bad news. If you’re savvy enough, finding a faithful man online should be a cinch.

Volunteering

Do the bad guys who cheat on their partners volunteer at homeless shelters and soup kitchens? I think not!

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people – good people with big hearts who are ready to devote their time and energy to helping others.

People who volunteer tend to be open, kind, compassionate, warm, considerable, and emotionally available people who are faithful to their friends, family – and partners.

You can volunteer anywhere at any time, be it at a charity event or a homeless shelter.

Your friends

As I write this, I’m reminded of a common expression:

“Birds of a feather, flock together.”

This means that cheaters will tend to hang around with like-minded people. Likewise, folk who are faithful to their spouses will likely hang around with faithful people.

Your friends should be people that you trust. Take a look around you and ask yourself if there is someone you’ve known for a long time that would make for a great partner.

Spend some time by yourself

Spending some time by yourself might sound counter productive when it comes to meeting a man. After all, shouldn’t you be aiming to spend your time withother people? But hear me out.

Women usually go out in packs, and very rarely go out by themselves. But according to the author of The Vixen Manual, Karrine Steffans, this can actually blockade the good guys from getting to you.

“Not only can men be put off by a pack of women – or even two or three – but when they a woman who seems happy and content by herself, she’s so much more approachable and inviting.”

Go to relaxing places with warm atmospheres, such as coffee shops, country pubs or even libraries, and take a book with you. You never know what could happen.

Say yes to something different

If you’ve been going to the same places and doing the same old things for the last year or so but find that you’re not meeting faithful and desirable men, you might want to have a rethink about these places you’re visiting.

Perhaps it’s now time to try something different. Instead of heading to the pubs and clubs each weekend, consider saying Yes to that cultured friend who’s been inviting you to the galleries and museums for the last ten years. Try your hand at networking events or anywhere else where good guys tend to frequent.

You have to look in places where you would expect a faithful man to hang out.

Dig up the past

People say we should never dig up the past and instead let sleeping dogs lie. But maybe there is a man from your past who you had a crush on, and who was as faithful as they get, but he was the one who got away?

There is nothing wrong in reconnecting with someone from your past who you think might be the One. You already know lots about him, and you know he’s going to be faithful. So what’s the worse that could happen?

Go to church

Going to church is a good idea if you’re trying to find a faithful man. Men who go to church are naturally moral and ethical, as well as kind, compassionate and considerate.

Churches often have lots of social events that you can get involved in, which widens the chances of you meeting someone new.

Throw a house party 

It’s your house party and you can invite who you want. As well as inviting all your cool friends who share your values, you should also ask your friends to invite their other friends who also share your values.

Such a house party gives you a great opportunity to meet a new man who is on your level. As the host, you’ll introduce yourself to everyone who walks through your day, which means you can pick up a conversation with someone who takes your fancy later on in the night.

Go to a friend’s birthday party

Kinda similar idea to the one above here. If your friends share your values, the chances are that their friends who you haven’t yet met share them too.

So the next time you’re invited out to a friend’s birthday party – go!

Be patient 

Perhaps most importantly of all, you have to be patient. Faithful guys are out there, but there are also a lot of losers. To make sure you don’t lose any more heart, take your time and don’t rush into things. Don’t waste time dating the guys you’re not sure of but wait for the show stealer to come and sweep you off your feet.
