Proverbs 5verse 18-20: ‘V18- Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. V19- Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. V20- And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?’
Sexual faithfulness is a major issue today in the world of marriage and you need to know that it’s possible to be faithful to your partner no matter the kind of challenge or temptations that comes your way. 1Cor10v13. There is no moral justification for flirting or sexual unfaithfulness because God’s word remains the same. Gen2v24-25. Sexual Faithfulness is possible and the essence of these teachings is to share with us how to be faithful to your partner. I strongly believe that you will be blessed by the truths that I will be sharing in this series. However, before I start sharing these nuggets with you, there are certain things you must say no to as a married person if sexual faithfulness is a reality. So what are these things?
THINGS TO SAY NO TO:
1. Flirting in any form. This is not acceptable by all means. Matt5v28.
2. Emotional attachment to the opposite sex (this is aside from your partner).
3. Crushing on someone else, aside from your partner.Jb31v1.
4. Pornography
5. Sexual Immorality.
6. Extramarital Affairs.
7. Emotional Intimacy with someone who is not your partner.
8. Fantasising about having sex with someone else.
9. Demanding sex from your spouse as an entitlement.
10. Withholding sex as a weapon to manipulate or punish.
These are just some of the basic things that you must say no to if you will be sexually faithful to your spouse. I strongly believe that all these things are possible with a strong will and commitment to building a strong and healthy relationship. May God’s grace abound richly towards you in Jesus’ name as you embrace these truths.

Prayer for Today: Father, I receive your help and grace to say no to anything capable of ruining my marriage in Jesus’ name, amen.
CONFESSION: The word of God is a liberator and deliverer! Therefore, as I appropriate these truths, I walk in the realm of dominion and victory! I am no longer a slave to my flesh and carnal desires, for by the power of the word and spirit, I dominate them all! This is my testimony and song in Jesus’ name amen.
