Your friend is getting married soon. They only experienced awkwardness when discussing sexual intimacy as they were growing up. They read an article by Elder Renlund that says, “Our purpose in mortality is to become like our heavenly parents. Our divine understanding and use of sexual intimacy are essential to that process of becoming.” Your friend says that it is difficult to understand how to improve their understanding and overcome awkward feelings. This subject between individuals come across many of times through the church, and also through peers. As it states in 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 it states,” Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise, also the wife unto the husband”. I would let my peers know that sexual intimacy should not be a difficult subject to talk about. It should be of praise, and also something nice with only the one you are
lawfully wedded to in the temple. The scriptures have stated, and also in The Family of Proclamation, To multiply and replenish the earth. Now Sexual intimacy can also be misused, and not of the Lord. Elder Dallin H. Oaks has said, ““The expression of our procreative powers is pleasing to God, but he has commanded that this be confined within the relationship of marriage”. That is so true, and should not be used anywhere else. Elder Richard G. Scott has said, “ Any sexual intimacy outside of the bonds of marriage — I mean any intentional contact with the sacred, private parts of another’s body, with or without clothing— is a sin and is forbidden by God”. President Spencer W. Kimball has said also, “No indecent exposure or pornography or other aberrations to defile the mind and spirit. No fondling of bodies, one’s own or that of others, and no sex between persons except in proper marriage relationships. This is positively prohibited by our Creator in all places, at all times, and we reaffirm it. Even in marriage there can be some excesses and distortions. No amount of rationalization to the contrary can satisfy a disappointed Father in heaven”. Everything should be kept in the marriage and behind close doors. Loving your spouse, and showing them in the right way that will bring the spirit is what the Lord wants, and it can be a beautiful thing. Misuse of it is the way of the adversary, even the world thinks it is okay. It should not be a difficult subject at all, and should continue to be talked of in the home, and with your children. I have discussed with them this subject many of times, and they understand the beauty of it, and also the consequences of misusing that power. References Used (All 6 required): 1. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:2–5 “Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise, also the wife unto the husband.
2. Proclamation: The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife. 3. Talk: Elder Neil L.
