Dr. Oz at it again

Today I was doing laundry again and listened in to Dr. Oz again. He is doing the second round of his "National Sex Experiment" in marriages. He's outlined a few more things to
"help get America restarted in the bedroom." Remember in my earlier post that he says there is a problem with lack of intimacy in American couples, married ones, these days. He says it's in epidemic proportion in America. DUH, I say. As we move farther and farther away from calling sin a sin, it's no wonder that the sin of bitterness and laziness and selfishness is taking over in the bedroom. We need to forgive, get rid of bitterness and laziness and let go of our selfishness in order to be able to open our emotions up to intimacy. The gal on Dr. Oz's show today, a sex therapist said, "You can change the color of paint in your bedroom to make it more, " alluring was what she was suggesting. She also said that a couple should practice acting out a fantasy, maybe with costumes if necessary!

I say, what about just loving one another in a way that is intimate in and out of the bedroom. Love with an intimacy that God loves with. Emotional connection that looks forward to being together, at all hours, and not just in the bedroom. This can and will happen when you lay your "issues" down at Jesus feet, accept the emotional pain and consequences and learn to love as God loves; unconditional, romantic, passionate and holy.

We have been mentoring some couples this year, where their marriages have gone from zero and one's on the scale of 1-10, 10 being great to 6, 7, & 8's all by using the "Heart Care" method of forgiveness and laying things down at Jesus feet. So much emotional intimacy is dormant behind the walls of bitterness, pride, moral failure, negative thoughts, generational sin, sinful habits, hypocrisy, and the like. I'm thankful that God is a forgiving God and he restores the years the locust have eaten in all lives who surrender to Him!
