Too powerful to not reblog. <3

This was the question posed in our church discussions today.  I felt that it was a really enlightening discussion, and that it should be, well, more common since it really was an eye-opener.  So in this question, people were talking about how sex creates bonds between the guy and girl regardless if they’re committed to each other.

That got me thinking.  I was thinking bonds, then my thoughts turned to bridges.  So I proposed this.  What if this could connect with bridges?

Imagine two landmasses with an uncrossable distance between them.  They represent the two people in the relationship.  The bridge is the bond created by sex, and the supports are the commitment of the two.  

So they can build the bridge, but without the supports, it’s wobbly and easily broken.  But if the supports are built first, then it will stay strong and that bond will be strong.

This connects to pre-marital and marital sex.  If the deed is done before the two are fully committed to living together forever, then the emotions and bonding caused by sex are fragile and easily broken.  It rocks the relationship, and often results in ruin.  But if the deed is done after the two are fully committed to each other, then the sex is a way to grow closer and show their love to one another.

The bridge concept can be taken even further.  Many couples, after the sex ceases, feel that they grow distant to one another.  They no longer feel that bond of love.

So you built one bridge through sex.  Why not build more?

There are many more ways to show love than with sex.  Sex is just the primary way because people know that it works about 99% of the time.  But the other smaller ways (i.e. buying flowers, always being there, etc) are just as essential.  It’s just different because these ways differ depending on the person.

The point is that if you rely on sex as the primary way of showing love, then when it stops, there’s no longer bonds.  There aren’t anymore bridges crossing that gap.

There was more during the discussion, but I really wanted to show this one topic, because it changed the way I saw sex.  Sex is more than an action, more than just pleasure.  It’s a very deep way to show love, and if you’re not ready for it, then it can ruin the relationship.

And I apologize if the number of times I said “sex” was uncomfortable.
