What I learned this week is that couples who often
complain about sexual intimacy problems often do not adequately talk with their
spouse about the problems that they may have.
The key to resolving such an issue is first doing your homework, second
having the patience, and third final having good communication with your spouse
to encourage and discourage undesirable behaviors. Like all churches who discourage or refrain
about sexual education the young adults need to seek out good sources of
education that teaches about this so that can prevent embarrassing and potentially hurtful situations
when it comes to sexual intimacy in marriage. I still a fairly new member of
the church so I am still baffled at some of the customs and culture of the church
such as the guilt that is placed on “noncommittal make outs” and things of that
nature. I think it is very funny, but
now I am starting to realize why the culture places such a great emphasis on
things like this because the church discourages such acts. In my culture back
home and I guess from the worldly perspective that a kiss was the least
possible thing that you would expect on a date. I am learning to distinguish between
the different sub- cultures here in Idaho and the principles of the church
which clears up a lot of the misconceptions that I have.
I also read another book for my marriage class and it stated
that there are ten steps to
10 steps to preventing infidelity
1.
Do not allow the seeds of lust to germinate.
2.
Never make excuses to spend time alone with a
person of the opposite sex who is not your spouse.
3.

give. So do not flirt with others.
4.
Do not allow your heart to dwell on anyone.
5.
If you find yourself making excuses for
continuing the relationship, you are addicted.
6.
Spend more enjoyable time with your spouse.
7.
Renew your spiritual efforts.
8.
Don’t set yourself for failure.
9.
Keep your soul free of the soul-numbing
barrenness of pornography.
