Sex, Love, and Marriage in the 21st Century by Robert T. Francoeur,Martha Cornog,Timothy Perper Pdf

Love, sex, and marriage are changing faster than ever before in human history. The current tidal wave of social changes will continue into the next century, and we will have to adapt our sexual values and relationships to these accelerating changes. These 22 honest, authentic stories tell of the unconventional paths pioneering church leaders and spiritually-aware women and men have taken in their quest to link their sexuality with their spiritual needs. Some might see in these unorthodox explorations only tales of promiscuous couplings. But these are not stories of wild thrill-seekers. These are tales told from the core of their being about their deeply felt need for genuine, responsible love and intimacy within a spiritual context. Their journeys do not promise paradise or instant happiness, as popular magazines do with recipes for lifelong marital bliss and fiery passion. These sojourners have much to teach us, even when we decide that this or that path is not for us. Their individual paths are not nearly as important as the simple message of God and Eros being inseparable that underlies journey. God and Eros can come together in many different relationships. And they must come together if we want to nourish and fulfill the divine spark at the core of our being. These women and men challenge our assumptions and our willingness to adapt to our radically changing world.

Spiritual Marriage: The Curse of Illicit Sexual Union by Ebenezer Gyasi Pdf

There are certain spiritual truths you should know before you start dating, having sex, or start thinking about marriage. Ignorance of spiritual matters may become a source of problems for you and your descendants. Currently, our sexuality is under tremendous attack. Spiritual marriages to demonic entities have become a source of hidden problems in our relationships. Nothing in this world happens by chance. Not with God, nor the devil. In the realm of the spirit there are no accidents. People who allow events in their lives to pass without connecting them to spiritual issues, not only don't understand what is happening to them, they also can't do anything to change their world. This manual along with the companion books, "Killing Me Softly," "Dad And Mom Pray For Me: Prepare The Way," will help and equip you to trample and overcome evil enforcers assigned to steal, kill, destroy, or truncate your destiny and that of loved ones, your marriage, your family and your home, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

Sacred Sex by Tim Alan Gardner Pdf

For years, Christians have been told that sex is God's creation, designed by him as a gift to husbands and wives. Yet few couples actually experience sex as a spiritual, God-ordained experience. Rather than admit their lack of fulfillment, many couples hide their disappointment and confusion, while others attempt to solve the problem through better sexual technique. Unfortunately, all the advice on improved technique fails to explain the one thing that makes sense of it all. Despite the proliferation of resources to enhance sexual satisfaction, couples continue to struggle in their sexual relationship. In fact, author and licensed counselor Tim Gardner estimates that as few as 2 percent of married couples ever experience a truly exciting, energizing, and soul-touching physical bond. But now, that can change. A couple's sexual relationship has a far higher purpose than pleasure or procreation. Scripture makes it clear that sex is the one thing on earth that joins two people into one. Now readers can learn how to approach marital sex in a way that brings the fulfillment of true oneness. Sacred Sex shows how they can experience a beautiful, God-ordained life of intimacy that blesses them far beyond the bedroom walls, serves as an act of worship to God, and touches their hearts and souls in ways they never could have imagined.

To Love, Honor, and Vacuum by Sheila Wray Gregoire Pdf

"Sheila speaks to both the heart and habits of the woman who is wife and mother. The lessons in this book are biblical, doable, and affordable!"--Margaret B. Buchanan From advertisements to mommy blogs to Pinterest, scenes of domestic bliss abound, painting a picture of perfection and expectation nearly impossible to live up to. Why can't you work a full-time job, stylishly clothe yourself and your children, plan a party for twelve with handmade decorations, keep your house sparkling clean without chemicals, and bake a gourmet meal in the same day? Everyone else is doing it! For many women, housework has become more than chores that need to be done; it is a symbol of identity. Sheila Wray Gregoire wants to stop that thinking in its tracks and help women back to a life of balance--for their sakes and for their families. She encourages women to shift their focus from housekeeping to relationships and shows them how to foster responsibility and respect in all family members. The second edition retains the helpful, concrete advice on everyday situations such as strategies for tackling chores and budgets and tips on effective communication, while incorporating the wisdom Sheila has gained through her interaction with thousands of readers of her blog and through her speaking ministry over the past ten years. Through the principles in To Love, Honor, and Vacuum, Gregoire promises readers they can grow and thrive in the midst of their hectic lives--even if their circumstances stay the same.

We learn about their experiences of first contact, the decision to marry, how the relationship is upheld by their community, and the impact on their other relationships. We also learn about the risks and challenges as well as one example of divorcing a spirit. Sharing her personal experience, the author discusses in detail her own spirit marriage, including the erotic nature of being “spirit filled” and her encounters with her Faery beloved.

Singled Out by Christine Colón,Bonnie Field Pdf

Authors Christine Colón and Bonnie Field thought that by a certain age they would each be married. But they watched that age come and go--and still no walks down the aisle. In Singled Out, they reflect on their experience--and that of an increasing number of Christians. Rejecting overly simplistic messages from the church about "waiting for marriage," they explore a deeper understanding of celibacy that affirms singles' decision to be sexually pure, acknowledges their struggles, and recognizes their importance in the church community. Thoughtful and accessible, Singled Out is an invaluable voice of realistic encouragement for any single as well as an important tool for church leaders and others concerned with mission and ministry for singles.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX by Olusegun Festus Remilekun Pdf

INTRODUCTION: God wants your marriage to succeed and prosper, and He has given you the blueprint to make your family's happiness possible! The Bible contains rock-solid principles upon which you can build a strong marriage, home, and family. 11 Corinthians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.’’ Your marriage has an enemy. The enemy who wants to steal kill and destroy wants to devour your marriage. The victorious family is the family that always record victory in their home and marriage. The attack of the enemy will not scatter them. Here is the truth that most people do not like to admit: marriage is hard. It is incredibly hard. Spending your life and time forever with someone who is different from you is not quite the walk in the park. It has its ups and downs, its highs and lows. There is disagreement, then agreement. There is breaking, then making, but when handled right, it is incredibly beautiful. In this mini-book, I will be talking about sex in marriage. In my years of experience as a pastor, I have found out that some believers are more spiritual about this subject because their focus is in making heaven. I want you to know that God Himself commanded sex between married couples.

Spirit Mates, Their Origin and Destiny by J. M. Peebles Pdf

Excerpt from Spirit Mates, Their Origin and Destiny: Sex-Life, Marriage, Divorce Human bodies, however symmetrically formed and carefully guarded, die because organized structures. Earth to earth is nature's fixed fiat. The dwellers in Thebes and Memphis honored those who skilfully embalmed their bodies. They shrunk from discarding like cast-ofi garments their physical organizations. It matters not just now whether a human body came up from the lower things that creep and crawl or through the wild beasts that howl and prowl by night; it is not only beautiful, but there is engrafted into it mentality, conscious spirituality, and we believe, with out a doubt, immortality. Bodies from dust, spirits from God, are the voices of involution and evolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
