WHY MASTURBATION IS A SIN (C)

I watched a movie sometime ago. There was a couple who had problem in their marriage. The man denied his wife her conjugal right in the bedroom from the inception of their marriage. Whenever she confronted this man, he'll come up with one excuse or the other. Later, she discovered that her husband was addicted to masturbation. The man preferred to masturbate than to make love to his wife. Masturbation has destroyed the joy in many homes. Any husband who masturbate will have great difficulty satisfying his wife and vice versa. The perverted version of a thing destroys the real or the original.

People who masturbate enjoy it so much that real sex may be irritating to them in marriage. No thanks to sex toys that aid this act. Why would someone have access to the real thing and still prefer artificial? I once read about a sex doll sold at an exorbitant price. Likewise, I've seen masturbators advertised for sale. Unfortunately, some married folks patronize sex toy dealers all because they're seeking self satisfaction instead of a mutual satisfaction with their spouse. A single that didn't conquer masturbation before marriage will have sexual problem in marriage. That's why so many couples having sexual problems are still trying to unravel what may be the cause.

As long as this continue, the bond between the couple will disintegrate because is deriving self satisfaction instead of mutual satisfaction. God didn't create man to have artificial or imaginary sex. Sex is good and blissful but limited within the confines of a legal marriage. Masturbation in marriage is bringing an imaginary third party into your home. This is a defilement of the marriage bed. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge, Heb13:4. If this applies to you, you need a radical renewal in your mind with God's word.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to renew my mind with God's word and to fix my thoughts on the right things in Jesus name.
