by Ken Alexander, busy rubber-stamping the words of Trey, infamous toxic commenter, at Lori Alexander’s The Transformed Wife – Making it Easy For Your Husband to Not Lust

Editor’s note: Interesting, I almost thought this was written by Trey. It does seem that some of the same syntax and ideas are shared equally between ‘Trey’ and Ken. What do you think? Is ‘Trey’ a sock-puppet for Ken? One thing I do know, having sex daily does not “vaccinate” anyone against porn or affairs. Wishful thinking. Dream on, Ken, dream on.

Trey is speaking of an important Biblical truth that has been lost in many Christian marriages. Regular intimacy two to three times a week is God’s prescription to vaccinate a marriage against infidelity and porn. The gift of a sex drive that God has been given to create closeness between husband and wife is often trampled upon by long hours at work, stress, and the challenges of every day life. For this reason, the spouse who wants sex needs to say so, and the other spouse oblige in as timely a manner as possible, just as God has proscribed.

If a spouse is withholding regular sex, they are living in sin and selfishness; barring injury, sickness or extraordinary circumstance. I am not talking about the occasional headache or “not now honey,” but the regular denial of sex that violates one’s wedding vows to love and serve the other. It’s easy to mistake that such sins only affect the bedroom when in reality they affect all of a marriage and family life. It is true that each spouse must own their own sin, and withholding of sex can never be justification for the sins of fornication by the offended spouse.

But when Christian couples are not doing things God’s ways, Satan can take the stronghold and wreak havoc on a marriage and in turn the entire family. How many children are gravely harmed by a mother who refused to love dad the way she promised she would on her wedding day, or dad who felt betrayed seeking sex elsewhere, only to find that the fleeting moments of sex has destroyed his family?
