The Purpose of Sex - Day 4 of 5

Devotional
Within marriage, sexual intimacy becomes a beautiful dance of mutual giving and receiving. It's not about taking or demanding, but about serving and honoring one another. This mutual submission reflects Christ's love for His church - selfless, pure, and completely devoted. When both spouses approach intimacy with this mindset, it becomes a powerful expression of love that strengthens their bond and brings glory to God.

Bible Verse
"The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife." - 1 Corinthians 7:4

Reflection Question
How can viewing intimacy as mutual service rather than personal gratification change your approach to relationships?

Quote
You can have sex without intimacy, but true intimacy, when all other parts are functioning healthy in a couple, should produce sex in a marriage.

Prayer
Lord, teach us to love selflessly and purely. Help us to see intimacy as an opportunity to serve and honor our spouse, reflecting Your love for us. Amen.
