God has given us guidelines to live a good, significant, and beautiful life. As an expression of the love between a husband and wife, sex is a gift from the Lord, a gift of beauty and grace.

Let us turn our attention to the One who has all power and knows all things. Let’s trust Him for deliverance from the personal crises and trying circumstances we encounter – now and in the future.
