How would you feel if your spouse said “I love you very much but I don’t have time to talk to you everyday. Not even for fifteen minutes.”? Not very loved, I am sure. How long would your marriage last under these circumstances?
Marriage is a symbol of our relation with God. How often do you talk to your Spiritual Hubby? Is it really too much to ask to give fifteen minutes of your time everyday? How do you expect to build a relationship with Him if you don’t?
Many say they are too busy for daily Bible reading and prayer. But how many hours do you spend in front of the TV everyday? Most Americans spend three to eight hours communing with the “Boob Tube” and none with God.
If you are in control of your own schedule (don’t slave for someone else) would fifteen minutes less work per day really make that much difference in how much you accomplish? Would fifteen minutes less sleep per day really make a difference in how rested you feel over all? And surly missing 15 minutes of TV time won’t kill you.
It doesn’t matter what comes out of your mouth. How you choose to spend your time will tell what is important to you.
In the same way, sex is important to a marriage. Women, the average sex act takes about 12 minutes. Surely you can afford that much time to give hubby what he needs. And, yes, men have a physical need for sex, much as we women have a physical need for our husbands to talk to us.
Sex (orgasim in men and cuddling in women) produces a hormone called Oxytocin. This hormone strenthens the heart physically and emotionally. It is known as the bonding hormone and is responsible for the overwhelming feeling of love a mother feels to her newborn baby. Everytime hubby has sex with his wife, his heart is knit to her in the same way. Women, denying hubby sex is much like shooting yourself in the foot. You are weakening his bond to you.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
