SUMMARY OF SCRIPTURAL TEACHING ABOUT SEX GOD GAVE THE GIFT OF SEX FOR PLEASURE (GEN 2:25, PROV 5:15-19) GOD GAVE THE GIFT OF SEX TO CREATE LIFE (GEN 1:28) GOD GAVE THE GIFT OF SEX FOR INTIMATE ONENESS (GEN 2:24) GOD GAVE THE GIFT OF SEX FOR COMFORT (II SAM 12:24) GOD GAVE THE GIFT OF SEX FOR MARRIAGE (I COR 7:3-5, HEB 13:4) GOD GAVE THE GIFT OF SEX TO TEACH US SOMETHING ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM (EPHESIANS 5:31-33) THE ROLE OF SEX IN MARRIAGE STRENGTHENS THE MARITAL BOND FOSTERS GROWTH IN INTIMACY PROVIDES A SPECIAL PRIVATENESS EXCLUDING ALL OTHERS A SPECIAL TIME OF TOGETHERNESS THAT LOWERS STRESS A WONDERFUL WAY OF EXPRESSING LOVE A SHARED EXPERIENCE OF INTENSE PLEASURE FOSTERS EMOTIONAL CLOSENESS AND SENSE OF WELL-BEING Page 1 of 7

SUMMARY OF GENDER DIFFERENCES MAN WAS FORMED OF DUST; WOMAN WAS FORMED OF LIVING TISSUE MAN WAS PLACED IN THE GARDEN ALONE; WOMAN WAS BROUGHT TO THE MAN SO THEY COULD BE TOGETHER MAN WAS CREATED WITH A NEED; WOMAN WAS CREATED TO FILL THE NEED MAN S JOB WAS TO WORK TENDING THE GARDEN, WOMAN WAS TO HELP MAN MAN S JOB WAS COGNITIVE/TASK ORIENTED (NAME AND CARE FOR); WOMAN S JOB WAS EMOTIVE/RELATIONAL (MEET THE NEED OF THE MAN) MAN GAVE WOMAN HER NAME; WOMAN RECEIVED HER NAME FROM MAN MAN S BODY GIVES SEED; WOMAN S BODY GIVES LIFE MAN S FIRST EXPERIENCE OF WOMAN WAS PRIMARILY VISUAL; WOMAN S FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS PRIMARILY RELATIONAL Page 2 of 7

JUST HOW DIFFERENT ARE WE WE DIFFER IN HOW WE THINK ABOUT SEX WE DIFFER IN WHAT WE WANT FROM AND ENJOY ABOUT SEX WE DIFFER IN OUR ENERGY RESOURCES FOR SEX WE DIFFER IN OUR CONCERNS ABOUT BODY IMAGE WE DIFFER IN HOW OFTEN WE WANT TO HAVE SEX WE DIFFER IN HOW WE CONNECT SEXUALLY A TURNED ON WOMEN TURNS ON A MAN, A TURNED ON MAN IS USUALLY SEEN AS A DEMAND BY THE WOMEN Page 3 of 7

PRIMACY OF THE MALE ROLE FOR THIS REASON A MAN WILL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE UNITED TO HIS WIFE, AND THEY WILL BECOME ONE FLESH. GENESIS 2:24 THE HUSBAND SHOULD FULFILL HIS MARITAL DUTY TO HIS WIFE, AND LIKE WISE THE WIFE TO HER HUSBAND. I CORINTHIANS 7:3 HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES, JUST AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR HER TO MAKE HER HOLY, CLEANSING HER BY THE WASHING WITH WATER THROUGH THE WORD, AND TO PRESENT HER TO HIMSELF AS A RADIANT CHURCH, WITHOUT STAIN OR WRINKLE OR ANY OTHER BLEMISH, BUT HOLY AND BLAMELESS. IN THIS SAME WAY, HUSBANDS OUGHT TO LOVE THEIR WIVES AS THEIR OWN BODIES. HE WHO LOVES HIS WIFE LOVES HIMSELF. AFTER ALL, NO ONE EVER HATED IS ONE BODY, BUT HE FEEDS AND CARES FOR IT JUST AS CHRIST DOES THE CHURCH. EPHESIANS 5:25-29 HUSBANDS, IN THE SAME WAY, BE CONSIDERATE (UNDERSTANDING) AS YOU LIVE WITH YOUR WIVES, TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT AS THE WEAKER VESSEL AND HEIRS WITH YOU OF THE GRACIOUS GIFT OF LIFE, SO THAT NOTHING WILL HINDER YOUR PRAYERS. I PETER 3:7 Page 4 of 7
