IS SEX A CRUCIAL PART OF A RELATIONSHIP?

                                                                                                                                    

Sex is an intimate experience, which can bring you closer to your partner not just physically but emotionally. Your bedroom chemistry can also improve the chemistry in your relationship. A sexless relationship can become vulnerable overtime and therefore, you need sex to keep the fire burning. With the kind of lives we live, stress has become an integral part of it. This often takes a toll on your relationship. Sex releases a FEEL GOOD chemical in the brain, which reduces stress levels. Instead of resorting to antidepressant, engage in a heated sex session to improve your well being and strengthen your relationship.

We associate good relationships with sexuality, assuming quite naturally that happy couples seemingly have sex more often than their miserable counterparts. But have you ever considered just what is it about sex that makes it beneficial to a relationship?. Research shows that everyday kissing, hugging, and touch between partners contributes uniquely to relationship satisfaction and overall well-being.

Is it sex itself or something about sexual activity that is so good for our happiness? You might argue that people who are happier are more likely to have sex more often, because they are in a good relationship and are satisfied with it.

Sex seems not only beneficial because of its physiological or hedonic effects…. But because it promotes a stronger and positive connection with the partner. Overtime such experiences build to strengthen the bonds between partners, meaning that their long-term relationship satisfaction is bolstered as well.

Sex is good for your health for example it increases your heart rate, burns calories, help you sleep better , it’s even associated with less sex. Not to mention, it promotes a stronger immune system and may help you live longer (smiles).

It forces you to communicate with addition to being a lot of fun; sex is an exercise in communication. During sex you regularly communicate to your partner about what you like and what you don’t like, what you like and what you want them to do. There’s nothing more intimate and vulnerable than communications your having during sex … it’s just uhm.. I don’t know how express it, its just so special (rolls eyes).

Reasons why sex is important in a relationship

1.     It can boost your confidence

Sex may not give you an automatically turn your BDE levels all the way up to Rihanna, but it can be an incredibly confidence boosting, body loving moment for some people. Most of us have degree of insecurity, whether is about our physical body or not. But being validated by someone that we love and trust can help build confidence, because self image has an impact on your sexual satisfaction.

2.     It makes you emotionally high

The blissful afterglow is one of the main reasons people do mega intense workouts. And it turns out you experience similar high after sex, thanks to the release of FEEL GOOD hormones.

Sex release dophamine in the brain, which increase your ambition and sense of happiness: testerone which improves your performance at work; and endorphins, which reduce your stress level and minimize pain. All these hormones together play a complex role in human pair bonding and essential I maintaining the glue of a relationship.

3.     Sex helps relieve stress

Don’t bother taking drugs for stress just engage sex with your partner. Sex releases oxyctocin in the blood stream, which promotes relaxation and stress relieve. In fact sex is similar to eating pleasurable food. Sex is beneficial to relationship as a whole. Even if stress is not relationship specific, it can interfere with how good you feel in it.

4.     Intimacy extends beyond the bedroom

Sex creates and intimacy feedback loop, the more intimacy you have in the bedroom, the more intimacy you’ll have outside the bed room. Sex predicts affection, and affection in turn predicts sexual activity. If intimate touch is how you express love and receive love for your partners, then sex is a gateway of how you share affection and love.

5.     You’ll get a better night sleep

A good night sleep is a foundation for a healthy lifestyle in no small part because it increases your mental well being, because you release a hormone called prolactin when you orgasm and this chemical can lead to deeper sleep. And increase mental well being means less irritability, which means you pick fewer fights with your partner.

Have sex its good for you and your partner, know what your partner wants and you guys should just have fun, feel free to be yourself. Do whatever works for you, sweet talk, fart, sing whatever it is that is your thing do it and just have fun and when you hit that spot then that feel good hormone will just immediately be in your system, and dont forget spice up your sex life *winks* topic for another day.

DOES GOD CARE?

                                                                

Does GOD care? Usually that is a question people ask when they are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles and calamities. Where is GOD when disaster strikes? Whether it comes wrecking havoc in our private world or whether we see it in mammoth proportions on our TV screen, we can’t help but question and wonder. Me? Does he even know I exist?”

The answer is “yes. He does know” he knows about your life and what happens to you though we cannot understand how GOD is deeply involved in the life of his people. It takes some faith, but you can now beyond doubt that the eternal GOD of the universe knows who you are. You can be assured that he cares for all you do or think.

We appear small and insignificant in the universe compared to deep space, massive oceans and astonishing array of life forms on earth, we might think ourselves unimportant. Even in a big crowd of people we can feel inconsequential. It is natural to wonder “does GOD really care about.

Does GOD care when tragedy sweeps in unexpectedly and tears at the very fiber of our being with inexpressible grief? The answer is “yes” yet to find the comfort he offers we must first get past the question. When JESUS walked this earth, he told his followers that in this world, there will be trouble. Since the beginning of time there has been struggle on this earth- germ and weeds, storms and insects, people’s problems and MONEY problems. The bible tells us that GOD sets things in motion on this earth. The seasons come and the seasons go and does not necessarily intervene in everyone.

Why does this happen? In Ecclesiastes 9:11 ”says the race is not for the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned, but time and chance happens to them all” life happens; the good and the bad.

WAS THIS GOD’S FAULT?

When we find ourselves appalled at the overwhelming things happening in life, we cannot always determine the source. It may be the world and the forces of nature set in motion at the foundation of the world; it may be consequences of our own flesh and choices we have made; it may be spiritual opposition from the enemy of our soul or it may come from the very hand of GOD.

We agonize over the possibilities as we seek to answer the heart wrenching, “why” yet we cannot understand GOD nor can we always determine the answer to the difficult “why” even though we try desperately.

The hope that we have in times of severe circumstances and agonizing grief is the knowledge that GOD does care and he will help us through. Often our unanswered questions leave us blaming GOD and we distance ourselves from the very one who can bring comfort to the anguished heart.

IS GOD ON OUR SIDE?

We know GOD sees everything that happens to us. Nothing is a surprise to him. he would intervene and stop the pain. We wish children did not die and loved ones are not lost. As our lives play out on planet earth we find ourselves with a choice to make. We can believe that GOD is a GOD of love or we can turn from him in anger. We can believe that is heart I always for us or we can believe he is cruel and mean. Running to him in the midst of our anguish will take us into his arms and comfort. Pushing him away will leave us alone with desperation in our souls. The main theme running through the bible is GOD’s great love for us. Over and over he tells us that his son JESUS, came to this heart to heal the brokrn hearted. Even king david known to be a man after GOD’s heart, went through times of great tears to the point that those around him questioned “where is your GOD?” psalm 42 yet he also knew how the lord took note of his anguish and recorded his tears psalm 56:8. He ran to GOD for strength in his despair.

When we simply cannot understand the twists and turns of our path we can run to the one who will anchor us. He doesn’t promise our lives will be free of trouble, yet he does promise to hold us close through it all. Never doubt GOD’s love and care. He hurts when we hurt. His son, JESUS, weng up the agonizing hill to the cross and understands the deep anguish the soul can plunge to. That’s why we can trust him to be with us in our times of overwhelming stress.

Hang in there! In psalms 139:1(living bible)  it says “you chart the path ahead of me” and verse 16 says you…scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe”. GOD knows all about it (your struggles) so hang in there! GOD says in Isaiah 54:7 (living bible) “ for a brief moment I abandoned you. But with great compassion I will gather you.

Since that is so. Don’t lose heart. Run with patience the particular life race that is set before you. Surmount the particular obstacles you are facing. Don’t let them way you down.

GOD CARES
