My wife likes to tell the kids that what attracted me was the short red dress she wore. Since it was an asset, I can’t argue. I am wise enough not to point out all the long discussions we had about life and how we seemed so much on the same page in our commitment to the Lord and desire to serve. Let her have her moment. Solomon would have nodded his head and smiled. He knew what she was talking about.
Physical attraction is part of how God built us. It is part of the program and it is more than a gimmick to insure the existence of the next generation. Paul put it this way.
(1 Corinthians 7:5 KJV) Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.Is it any wonder that the Prayer and Fasting League never caught on?
So? If you are married the attraction you feel for each other is holy. If you are not married and feel the attraction then the answer is marriage. Children are just an added bonus. They will certainly change your Christmas season.
