Sex Will Not Save Your Marriage

Oh my goodness, what next?

We heard today that the Reverend Ed Young of the Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas plans to tell his congregation this coming Sunday that he wants married couples to have sex all week long. He says that God may have rested on the seventh day, but he wants married couples to have sex every day for a week!

He goes on to say, "I won't be dressed in pajamas" while delivering his sermon while sitting on a bed. In these days of financial crisis, debates over same-sex marriage, and the like, it's time, he says, to turn the "whining" into "whoopee."

The question is, where do you start with debunking such a ridiculous notion. Let us count the ways!

Can You Trust Him?

Here is an undeniable truth about life – actions speak louder than words! We know, you’ve heard this all before! But the truth is, you can, and must, judge a man by his actions and not by his words!

Words are cheap. Actions mean everything! The truth is always there for all to see when you observe the way people act and respond, rarely by what they say. This truth is self-evident – good men practice what they preach. Here’s why.

In answer to the question, “How will I know I can trust him?,” you must always remember this – you can tell a lot about a man by his actions. How does he respond to you? How does he treat you? How does he treat your friends, your family, your children, his dog, and all of the others you love? How does he treat the janitor? The person who cuts your grass? The checker at the supermarket?

Real men say what they mean and act the same way. Real men, good men, decent men, will always demonstrate who they are by their consistent actions. To know the real truth about a man – pay close and careful attention to him over a period of several weeks and then ask yourself this question – is he really what he appears to be? Consistent actions on his part will tell you what you need to know, for good or for bad.
