Romancing Your Wife
Last week I started a new series for those of you that would like ideas about things you could do for your wife—things that go beyond getting her flowers or chocolate on the way home from work.
These things will take time, money, and maybe even a bit of planning. They could be done as a surprise, or done together to build excitement.
The series isn’t over yet, but please, take a walk on over to Weekend Kindness and Make a Splash.

The Wedding and After
Passion is at its most pure when it’s unleashed after remaining pure. Your love, totally give to another, is one of the strongest bonds in the world. That’s one of the reasons that your purity is so valuable, and something that should be taken care of so well.
Your purity is something that makes you uniquely you. I know that’s redundant, but it’s on purpose. No one else is like you and no one else can give what you can give.

Guard Your Eyes and Your Heart
We talked last time about the power that is now wielded by the Seductress not only through her physical presence, but now through photography and video. The power of this medium is not to be trivialized.
Pornography has destroyed marriages, it has encouraged all sorts of perversion, and it has taken ministries away from individuals.
It’s no wonder that Solomon goes the the extra mile to detail just what should be avoided, and of all the different sins Jesus could have used to talk about committing sins in your heart, adultery would have been one of the few that were used.

She is a Cheap Imitation
Much could be said about the bond that should be present between a husband and wife. That bond is reflective of the bond between Christ and the Church, a bond that is supposed to last until death, and that is unconditional.
Part of that bond is enjoying all that each other has to offer. Each person in the marriage relationship brings something different. They bring their perspective, their ideas and dreams, their opinions and their desires. They are two different beings made one through their vows and in the presence of God.

Rejoice in Your Own Wife
Imagery is used quite often in the Bible to make a point. A lot of what Christ said to His followers were in the form of parables. So it shouldn’t surprise us to find an analogy in the Proverbs that compares people to things.
Wisdom is often personified as a woman, and very often we see something compared to something else.
In the case of the passage we’re looking at today, “the wife of your youth” is compared to water, and there’s a good reason for it.

Her End is Death and the Dead
The End of the Seductress is death.
For her house leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;
None who go to her return,
Nor do they regain the paths of life– Proverbs 2:18-19
The first part of this verse talks about her house—and where going to her house leads. In order to get the full force of this verse, I want you to think about what it means for the man to end up at the house of the Seductress.

Breaks A Covenant With God
The concept of a promise comes into place for two reasons:
- People often fail to keep their word.
- People want to know that you really mean what you say.
When a couple gets married, they’re traditionally making a series of really important promises. They are first, and foremost, promising one another their love and devotion “until death do us part.” A lot of the other vows (or promises) are geared to back up these two.

Purity Before Passion
The truth of the matter is, it’s hard to be pure. Our sex saturated culture doesn’t help the situation either.
Sex and flattery sell just about everything that is on the market today. Sex education permeates our public schools, and the Internet gives access to all sorts of perversions.
