This should sound familiar for anyone that has done even a cursory reading of the Bible: (paraphrasing) the man will leave his mother and father, and cleave to his wife; the two become one flesh.
But is the Bible really necessary to point out these data?
Don't get me wrong, it is a good thing to read the Bible, but God-given common sense dictates that we recognize the Natural Law in all of this. Problems begin when that very same natural law is cast aside in favor of our pride. Unfortunately, many of us use our free will to do what we want, when we want, instead of living according to the moral traditions past down to us through the generations.
But I digress...
So, what is the proper use and role of our sexuality, and when should that expression of our sexuality legitimately be used?
The answer is "simple," but instead has become quite complicated with all the superfluous circumstances in the form of "ifs," "ands," or "buts," that society has injected into that simplicity.
So, here is that SIMPLE answer: our sexuality should only be used within the state of matrimony, as husband and wife.
See, it's that simple!
Within marriage, the true expression of the sexuality between husband and wife serves two major purposes as created by the Author of life: the multiplication of humankind, along with the remedy for concupiscence (this is intended to support and reinforce fidelity and commitment between spouses).
I welcome any comments regarding this post.
I fully expect that some might hurl various epithets for stating this truth, but that's okay, I can take it...
