Key Points
Understanding Sexual Urges in Christian Marriage
Sexual urges are natural and more intense when partners are apart.
Misconception: Married people should find long-distance easier if they were virgins before marriage, but it’s often harder due to newly awakened desires.
It's okay to have these urges; it's part of marriage design.
Navigating Long-Distance Intimacy
Biblical Perspective: Full spectrum of sex, not just penetration, important in marriage.
God's Design: Not everything is permitted; marriage bed should be kept undefiled (Hebrews 13:4).
Permissible Acts: Sexual activities are allowed as long as they involve only the married couple and use only their bodies.
Practical Tips for Managing Sexual Urges
Communication & Agreement
Discuss expectations and boundaries about sexual intimacy before separating.
Agreement on what’s permissible can help reduce guilt and confusion.
Use of Technology
Texting and Sexting: Send suggestive messages and pictures (without face or identifiers for privacy) through encrypted means like WhatsApp.
Virtual Intimacy: Video calls or virtual interactions as a means to satisfy each other without physical presence.
Fantasy Sharing: Discuss past intimate moments and fantasies to awaken desire and maintain connection.
Moderation and Caution
Avoid over-reliance on virtual intimacy; it should not replace physical intimacy altogether.
Practice restraint to prevent dependency and ensure future physical interactions remain fulfilling.
Avoiding Triggers and Staying Engaged
Mindful Consumption: Avoid erotic content, pornography, and conversations that may increase sexual urges.
Stay Occupied: Engage in work, hobbies, or projects to keep the mind busy.
Spiritual Engagement: Focus on spiritual growth, prayer, and reading the Bible to divert sexual energy.
Special Circumstances and Adjustments
Hormonal Influence: Recognize times when urges may be natural (e.g., ovulation) and prepare to handle them responsibly.
Emotional Support: Supporting each other emotionally through calls and messages can also alleviate sexual frustration.
Wrapping Up
Encourage a balanced approach to managing sexual urges during long-distance marriage while adhering to Christian values.
