From Simply Sex to Making Love

Have you ever heard someone mention sex and God in the same sentence? Yeah, probably not! Churches love to act like sex is such a bad thing and a taboo topic. God is the one who created sex and he did so because he wants both commitment and passion for us. Now, when I say us, it is intended for married couples. However, in today’s world, singles are actually the ones who are having the most sex. (Disclaimer: Not saying this is right!) To have sex is to simply do the physical. But, God made it so that, in the most popular position, we can look into each other’s eyes and kiss each other at the same time as we’re connecting in other ways. When you connect with your partner in multiple ways, that is when your sex life takes the next step and moves from simply having sex to making love.

Making love grows the connection between two people while, also, allowing that connection to be felt on all other levels. For example, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual are all vital levels. When we focus on the physical, we often neglect the real power, purpose, and potential that sex has to bind us together in multiple ways. This includes not only a physical connection, but sex connects us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. It is a beautiful thing to be present with your partner’s mind, body, and soul when you make love.

So, my question to you is, are you truly making love? Do you and your partner connect on multiple levels? If not, then take the time to do so. Spend time together outside of the bedroom to get to know your partner mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Become best friends! Go out together, play games together, listen to music together. Find hobbies that you both enjoy or take time to participate in activities that your partner enjoys to boost the connection between the two of you. Invest in each other’s lives. It will make it easier to navigate through the bumps in the relationship and it will take your sex life from simply having sex to making love!
