The Pastor's Wives

One of the things I enjoy about living down in Georgia in the "Bible belt" is that no matter where you go, people talk about God and how to apply His principles in a practical way.

So this morning, I'm sitting at Starbucks waiting for an associate to show. Two Pastor's wives ask if they can sit next to me on the couch. You ask, how do I know they were Pastor's wives? I know because the younger one with her "skinny Mocha," starts asking questions about being a newlywed, and responsibilities as a Youth Pastor's wife. The older mentor looks at me, then refocuses back on her, and says that her main responsibility is to have a lot of "intimate occasions" with her husband, since temptation from working with the youth will be there. "Having sex is his only need that couldn't and shouldn't be met by anyone else but her."

Picture this; I almost coughed my coffee through my nose after hearing that. Clearly, she is a woman of wisdom and maturity;) Obviously, my ears perked up and wondered if that Trojan Magic Touch commercial was going to be the next topic...

So what does God teach about intimacy in the context of marriage? The church I attend, will be broaching this subject over the next few weeks just in time for Valentine's Day, and as a disclaimer; No young people for this series. In case you miss it, here's the link so you can check it out it next week. //http://vimeo.com/mountainlake
