Proverbs 5:18-20 (ESV)
18 Let your fountain be blessed,
and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated always in her love.
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?
The father prays that his son’s wife would satisfy his son’s sexual thirst. The father’s advice even points to the wisdom of marrying young, as he refers to the wife of his son’s “youth.” The father encourages his son to enjoy sex with his wife fully. The pair should be free from insecurities and embarrassment as they participate together in their physical relationship. In comparison to what God provides between the son and his wife, any so-called pleasure the son might get from a forbidden woman is not only foolish but also evil and destructive. Can you imagine your father- in-law praying to God that you would be an abundant source of sexual satisfaction to his son and your husband? Whether or not someone has prayed this type of prayer for you, how are you doing in this area? Would the angels say you are the answer to your husband’s prayers for his sexual life-mate? Have you been withholding sex from your spouse, or has pride keep you from being that full “answer to his prayers”? Ask God to help you make any changes his Spirit is prompting.
