Researcher: The Better Your Walk with God, The Better Your Sex Life

Orginally published on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at 7:30 AM

Yes, folks... they actually research this. Not sure how they qualify their research, but none the less, they do, somehow. Here's the premise: The closer your walk with God, the better your sex life. Although I wonder if it's the other way around: the better your sex life, the closer you feel to God. Regardless, here's part of the article and findings over at WorldNetDaily...

Contrary to popular notions of Christians as sexual prudes, 15 years of study have convinced a psychologist and professor that "knowing" your spouse "in the biblical sense" can be scientifically verified as a fulfilling and spiritual experience.

Dr. Chuck MacKnee, who teaches psychology at Trinity Western University, a school associated with the Evangelical Free Church near Vancouver, Canada, began studying sexuality in Christian couples in the 1990s at the University of British Columbia.

MacKnee told The Vancouver Sun that while many people assume biblical writers used the phrase "knowing" a person as a bashful way of saying "having sex," he believes the writers and translators were tapping into the uniquely intimate sense of knowing God that can be found within married, Christian sexuality.

Spot on! No joke. Because the requirements for true intimacy - that full “knowing as I am known” - require a similar spiritual, emotional, and mental process, it is no surprise to me.

I think I also just had epiphany as to what may be missing in some contemporary Christian circles. Maybe we’re approaching God (and worship, etc.) with the same mental process as a typical man-on-the-street approaches sex - just gimme what I want and I’ll be on my way.

What do you think?

I’ve also seen that married monogamous people are most fulfilled… perhaps this is a selling point?

The better your walk with God - the better your sex life?

Yep. Definitely agree. When we come to grasps with the fact that our spouse is not intended to “complete” us… that only God/Jesus/Spirt can… it can and does (and should) have tremendous freeing power for both spouses.

I’m just sayin’....

Peter:

“I’ve also seen that married monogamous people are most fulfilled… perhaps this is a selling point?”

A selling point? “Hey, come to Jesus, so your time in the sack will be better?”

You gotta be joking… =)

There are all kinds of jokes that run through my mind here but the fruit of the Spirit is self control...the fruit of the Spirit is self control...the fruit of the Spirit is self control...the fruit of the Spirit is self control...the fruit of the Spirit is self control…

Whew! I am okay now. CS, I don’t thing Peter meant that as a literal selling point. I think another reason this is true is because of the healing that takes place in a persons heart and mind when they live close to Christ.

Thus allowing for more trust between a man and wife.

Peter, Leonard:

Whew. You had me worried for a moment there. With all of the “MyLousySexLife.com” nonsense out in the world, you can never be quite sure anymore…

Haven’t you learned your lesson yet? Friday, Peter. Friday only.

Spot on! Spot on....

Glad to be of help, Peter.

Now I’m off to go down to the river with three of my favorite guys. Praying and dancing on tap for this date. (our oldest is in Philly this week.)

As always… you were just prayed for.. any who read as well.

A agree with this article, appreciating your wife, and your love, in the most profound way will definitely spice up the sexuality. After all, it is the most intimate way to express true love.

It may be right, it may not but one thing is true...if you have a good relationship with God, you’ll have inner peace reflected in the things you do.

Wow, that is a really big statement! I guess there is a logical explanation for that. I’ll think about it.

I feel if in a marriage both people live with God in their hearts, u will for sure make better lovers, for they know the “true meaning of uncondtional love” a love that never fails and that is ever lasting, as God love us in this very way...Theres no greater gift that GOD gave us the gift to loving our husbands and wives with our whole hearts and souls in the way that God loves us and what he wants for us.... Thank You Jesus for the Gift of Love
