TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE: Actually, we don't usually turn to the Scriptural Book of Ecclesiastics for principles of Christian or Zionist Marriage. Nevertheless, this amazing Holy Scripture, which primarily describes "life under the sun" nicely illustrates some vital features of this fellowship in Chapter 4 to buttress the vital point of relationship in these words: "Two are better than one" (Eccl. 4: 9). Let us see these essential points of significance afforded in the Holy Scripture.

(A).  A NEEDED SUPPORT:  "If they fall", says the Holy Scripture, "the one will life up his fellow" (Verses 10). I vividly recall a boyhood incident when several of us were enjoying children's sports in jumping over a swimming pool. As we got careless & started jumping over the pool, guess who fell in! My brother's quick action in pulling me out probably saved my life & taught me my first lesson in brotherhood. Practical Christian or Zionist Marriage involves more than just talking about it. It means SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER during our "down times".

(B). WARMTH: " How can one be warm" (Verse 11). How beautiful is the warmth of Zionist & Christian Marriage in the midst of a cold, unfeeling world. Whilst writing from a Roman prison cell, the aged Apostle Paul recalled the warmth of his friend, Onesiphorus, in the following words: "He has often refreshed, and has not been ashamed of my chain...... (he) sought me out very diligently, and found me" (2 Tim. 1: 16-17). Similarly, if, after doing some work I feel tired & hungry, who is there to help satisfy me with delicious diet if not my darling companion? Indeed, "Two are better than one"!

(C) DEFENCE: "If a man overpower the one, the two shall withstand him" (Verse 12). As Christians & Zionists we have a powerful enemy who would love to empower us - though impossible. The Scripture often reminds us about our resources against this enemy; & surely one of these resources is Marriage or Christian/Zionist Fellowship. The Scriptural Passage of Ecclesiastics 4 ends on a lovely note: "A threefold cord is not quickly broken". Perhaps, this would remind us that the best of human SUPPORT & WARMTH & FELLOWSHIP is meaningless without the third strand - that Fellowship with Divine Persons described in the Holy Epistle of Apostle John in 1 John 1: 3-4. Surely, such warm Fellowship affords fullness of JOY! 

Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

PRUDENT PLAN OF INTERMITTENT ABSTINENCE: 
Certainly, a happy & glorious Marriage is one where the balance is maintained between the physical & the spiritual. To maintain that balance it is necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse on many occasions, out of respect for one's partner. Nevertheless, another very important reason is that temporary abstinence is the key to the highest peak of experience in human life. Whilst satiety deadens, abstinence excites, inspires & enriches.

The experience of many people has shown that it is possible to achieve contentment, without strain, during the times of abstinence, by developing a facility to express their love physically, without genital arousal. This takes time, love & strength of character, but the reward in terms of emotional well- being is well worth the effort. It is within the powers of most couples to master this necessary control. For an engaged couple, it is an invaluable preparation for a good marital life.

THE MARITAL PHYSICAL GENITAL & NON-GENITAL UNION: 
A marital Physical Union involves a person's whole being. It is not merely "GENITAL". GENITAL UNION refers to contact between the male & female GENITAL ORGANS. The word "Non-genital" involves all other expressions of our sexuality. This point must be understood to see how men & women complement each other, as one half of an Orange complements the other. We need each other. God made it so. It is by the Physical GENITAL UNION that we complement each other, but this relationship does not always require a GENITAL EXPRESSION. It exists before people get married. Some of the finest men & women in history, in fact, never married. Widows & widowers can adapt themselves to a new, richer way  of life without GENITAL UNION. And, unmarried people do not need intercourse to become complete personalities, as it is sometimes imagined. Indeed, they are often harmed by having premarital Sex: they defile themselves, too. GENITAL UNION too soon numbs a person's sensitivity to increased knowledge of another.

Within Marriage, however, GENITAL UNION comes into its own. It is a type of sexuality proper to marital life. Yet, husband & wife also need to express the love between them in NON-GENITAL WAYS. And, if they are to be truly happy together the NON-GENITAL EXPRESSIONS must be a lot more frequent than GENITAL UNION The closest Sexual Union

only occurs where GENITAL UNION does not begin the LOVE-STORY!

ONE                                                          CLEAVE

            THE TRIANGLE OF MARRIAGE

To understand Marriage it can be useful to consider it as a TRIANGLE like the one depicted above in a sketch that an Android Phone could afford.

 THE TRIANGLE OF MARRIAGE: 
In the Second Chapter of the Biblical Book of Genesis, God tells man & woman "TO LEAVE, CLEAVE & BECOME ONE". They must leave father & mother & cleave to each other. Setting up a new family  is their own great responsibility. They cannot CLEAVE to each other if their parents come between them. People in some cultures are disconcerted by this command of God. Let them be assured that it is those parents who truly allow their children to LEAVE, who in the end never really lose them because they never lose their love. It is hard & lonely @ first for the parents, but the rewards of noninterference are great. Their children belong to them now more than ever, but in a different way.

      THE "ONE-NESS" IN MARITAL LIFE

"Become One"! That strange mysterious Divine Command! It starts in the Blessed Holy Trinity itself: "Keep them true to your name so that they may become One, even as we are One". To achieve this "One-ness", let us consider:

(A)    UNION OF MINDS

(B)    UNION OF HEARTS

(C).   UNION OF BODIES

(A)  UNION OF MINDS: "How can I love you if I do not know you"? And, how can I know you if you hide your heart & mind from me? A Couple cannot expect to come together in a fulfilling of the Genital Union @ night if, by their mutual relationship, they do communicate otherwise. Dialogue between them as persons is vital for their own happiness & that of their children as well as for the full enjoyment of intimacy later.

Of course, you should make time to chat to each other - it is necessary; & it is not a wasted time to learn a little about each other's job or hobby. Share books & other relevant reading materials, including magazines & Christian novels & booklets. Discuss them amiably. This, of course, increases intimacy between Martial Partners; it increases mutual love & deepens understanding of their combined fertility, whilst discussing it together gives rise to dialogue, a real communication. This increases their knowledge of each other & therefore their love. Alleluia!! Amen.

Moreover, you should be open with each other. Do not hide your feelings too much. Let the wife know why the husband is annoyed. Tell him why you are upset. It is good to remember that in marital life there should be no private decisions. In fact, dialogue is vital & all-important in any would-be successful Marriage.

(B)  UNION OF HEARTS: Silence @ times can be a very rich part of communication when it is filled with concern, kindness & thoughtful love. As with most things in life the great value of conversation is increased by remembering the happy medium. Constant chatter can be harmful to love, above all nagging. A gentle, silent embrace is a very powerful expression of love. We often forget the value of touch in our lives. O God help us! Amen. Alleluia!!

And listen! Really listen with attention. Listen to the person, not just to the voice. Listen above all to what is implied but not spoken. It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of listening in a marital life. We all know the futility of trying to reveal ourselves to a woman - or a man @ times - who only pauses to breathe; or, to one is so full of himself & of his day that he never listens to any voice but his own.

This Union of Hearts cannot exist without LOVE-IN-ACTION. Love requires exercise to make it grow - to prevent it from dying. Love is trying to make the other person happy. A loving wife remembers the things that made her husband happy when they were newly wedded - their tidy cosy room, her neat appearance for his sake. He needs her love now more than ever. There is always a newness about love, the new green leaves on an old tree. Love for him makes her careful of their money, too & helps her to resist spending it wildly to impress the neighbours.

Certainly, a good husband remembers that his wife is now part of him. He is quick to notice when she is tired; & this sensitivity is appreciated by two categories of women particularly. The first is the working mother. It would be hard to overlook her needs. Not quite so obvious perhaps is the mother of a very young family. This constancy in her work & the dire NEED for watchfulness twenty-four hours of the day result in a fatigue, which sometimes reacts in the Sexual areas.

These mothers may simply be too tired to show their true affection for their husbands & their sexual demands can be dramatically reduced. How often husbands misinterpret this seeming lack of interest - & sometimes even the woman cannot understand what is happening to her, with the result that she becomes profoundly worried; & the whole situation is aggravated.

There is a time in marital life when a couple may have three or more very young children. If the wife has not an extended family situation, as it is often the case in most African nations, it can be for her a very exhausting time. She may have two babies still @ the nappy stage, & one other, or perhaps even two @ preschool age. When her husband comes home, she is very, very tired. This tiredness can be a very great barrier to sexual relations. But, on the other hand, if her husband shares some of her household tasks, holding the baby, ready even to change nappies, a lot of tension can be alleviated. Even a tired wife becomes very responsive when she senses & sees her husband's concern for her. At times, his gentle, quiet embrace can be a life-restorer to his wife; & this does not go unheeded by seeing LOVE-IN-ACTION.

Isn't this part of what sharing life  together all about? It is a good example of the meaning of Personal Love, as distinct from a merely "Genital Expression" of Love.

UNION OF BODIES: The male & female ORGASMS have been described as a "MOUNTAIN". An Orgasm is the "Mountain-top". It is the climax in the act of Genital Union & it is very different for man & woman. But for both it can be equally deep & thrilling experience. God made it so. It is easy to describe an Orgasm in the male, for it occurs @ the point where there is an ejaculation of his genital fluid or semen. It is preceded by the quiet release of lubricating mucus.

The female Orgasm is not so easy to describe, but let me try. When the wife is coming close to the "Mountain-top", her respiration deepen first; & then her whole body goes a muscular spasm. It seems as though her husband is reaching her very heart & in truth that is what he is doing. Indeed, observing his wife, a great sense of joy & power fills him, together with love for her. He has succeeded in making her very happy. How different from the act of Sex where only selfish passion & lust for power reign & God Who is the Giver of Sex to man is far away!

Meanwhile, owing to limitation of space, O dear Blessed Reader & my Sparkling Comrade @ ZION: I earnestly solicit for your indulgence to defer the more sensitive, exciting, interesting & informative sparkling revelation on this subject of Marital Love to our subsequent Talk on the course on ground.

Therein, by God's Grace, we shall delve into a total, sacred & highly exciting expositions on ORGASMIC EXPERIENCE in man & woman, considering how much & wonderful mankind attach extraordinary, remarkable & vital importance to Marital Love with respect to SEX & the exciting experience thereof.

Nevertheless, before I bring this essential marital discourse to its dramatic end, I want to remind us that the utopian excitements, wonderful pleasure, satisfaction & exciting enjoyment which Sexual Experience affords in man & woman is a clear foretaste or symbolism of the highly wonderful, unimaginable, ineffable & glorious satisfaction, enjoyment & contentment which The Blessed Lamb's Marriage, namely, Lord Christ De Messiah & His Holy Bride @ Heavenly Mount ZION, shall afford to the Blessed Kingdom Saints @ ZION of Holy Jerusalem: Our Glorious Happy Home.

 Whilst narrating her wonderful & satisfying experience she discovered in female Orgasm, Lady Agnes, a thirty-year-old Secondary School Teacher, has a rousing & exciting marital love story to offer, merely to remind us of the glorious utopian Satisfaction, Contentment & Bliss of the Kingdom Saints Fellowship with Lord Christ De Messiah in Heavenly Mount ZION. Alleluia!! Amen.

Let us now hear Lady Agnes in what she has for us. "During Orgasm I feel as if I am a person who has melted into thin air; & as though I was filled with a Divine Music, which I share with all living things; & it seems as if the spirit of all that lived, does live or will ever live, passes through me. Apparently, I find myself loosing a sense of balance; & thus he totally wins me over & eventually, I find myself prompted to surrender & fall completely to his sweet Love - a real lovely pleasant feeling, gently engulfing & relaxing, which entirely gets me exhausted. And, often, I loose all sense of time & space. Suddenly, sounds become quite meaningless. I cannot see in the sense that I no longer bother to focus my eyes. Initially, I feel a pulsating inside me stemming from just below the navel. My breasts tingle & I am told that my nipples stand erect. I am told that everything inside me stood upright & all right! I feel that I want to touch my marital partner with the whole of my body surface - inside & out. If he manages to touch the hypersensitive spot I presume to be the cervix, then, it is painful but @ the same time I shiver all over with ecstasy. If, for instance, I am bending over the arm of a chair, I am liable to lose all sense of balance. At that particular moment, I pass through an induced magical experience of a great, big, marvelous explosion wherein I become almost unconscious & shiver all over with estreme excitement & ecstasy. I try to eat him alive! And, I feel so rigid & my mind seems to float. Everything goes intensely purple with white lights; & my hair seems to be burning, whilst inside me, it appears, as though, I am turning into volcanoes that are about to erupt. I sometimes remember afterwards that I was banging my head against a wall or rolling my head from side to side. Sometimes, I feel I am going to die there & then because that was what human physical life is all about & there wasn't much else to experience beyond it! In fact, in this utopian state, I really find almost complete absence of feeling in that I am in a dreamlike state from which it might take me an unknown time to recover".

 Wow! O Blessed Reader & Cherished Sparkling Comrade @ ZION: Just imagine! If Our Eternal Heavenly Father would so offer mankind such measure of physical utopian EXPERIENCE Of MARITAL LOVE ENJOYMENT & SATISFACTION, consider how extremely great, wonderful & glorious our LOVE ENJOYMENT, SATISFACTION, BLISS & GLORY our Heavenly Kingdom Eternal Life with our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah will be like @ Heavenly Mount ZION of Holy Jerusalem: Our Glorious Happy Home of Blessedness, Peace, Bliss & Glory, to His Glory & by His Grace. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!
