The Bible teaches us that God has blessed us with a good and healthy appetite for physical “love” and at the same time teaches us that this Appetite is given as a means for procreation. The fulfillment of this desire is a special gift for those who are married to share our total physical being with our spouse. St. Paul teaches that this is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest.
According to TV, Movies, Books and most media including computers, this attraction to the opposite sex is to be fulfilled at any time with anyone and they have brain washed modern society into calling lust, love.. What a tragedy. Sex outside of marriage is a serious sin against God and against our own bodies which are the temples of the Holy Spirit.
Looking to the Word of God let us determine the biblical definition of LOVE.
In 1 Cor 13 4:-7“ Love is patient and kind, Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
1Cor 14:1 Let Love be your highest goal.
The above scripture passages can keep us totally occupied concerning our relationship with our neighbor and God.
I have been blessed with the knowledge of how joyful a relationship with someone whom you are attracted to can be when we bridle our”lust” and truly Love another by refusing to lead them to sin. If we live according to God’s design for us, we will truly have a happy life. Our study of His Word teaches the way to Happiness. The things that last are LOVE. Knowing what Love is leads to great joy. When two people who are attracted to one another are faithful to each other and to and to God they will have a lifetime joy and happiness together. My wife Carmelita and I will celebrate our 56th wedding anniversary on April 27, Through the trials of life we have always had the joy of our Lord keeping us joyful and witnessing that blessing in the lives of our children.
It is never too late to recognize our human weaknesses and turn to the one who loves us unconditionally. When we repent and trust our Lord Jesus for forgiveness Life begins anew. The past is gone, never to return.

Daddy,
Great message...
This is from your heart and from the virtuous way you have lived for 77 years!
Your marriage...YOUR FAITHFUL Marriage is a living PICTURE of exactly what GOD Intended for TRUE Love and intimacy.
THANK YOU for the example you were to the three of us kids...and now to our chidlren.
I recetnly prayed with a young girl who wanted to begin again with God and regain her virginity.
The most beautiful outpouring of the Holy Spirit I have seen in a LOOOONG time as the Holy Spirit wiped away her tears, Jesus covered her with HIS Redemptive BLOOD and she began a NEW LIFE With CHRIST!
I am humbled daily by Gods WORD "For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of GOD!"
Kids...save those kisses and GOD will BLESS You in a way you can not even imagine!
Love you bigger,
Dee
