Lesson 9
What Men Need
When men speak of affection, they often mean the activities that involve sexuality. Experts estimate that the average male has a sexual thought every 40 to 50 seconds. In order for a woman to help keep her husband’s attention focused on her, she must be conscious of the very different way that he views affection.
In 1 Corinthians 7:2-5, God gave the following command, “…since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
Notice again the first phrase, “since there is so much immorality…” The reason the Holy Spirit inspired this passage for the people of that day is entirely the same reason that He has preserved the words for us in this day. Adultery is at an all-time high. The divorce rate is over 50% and climbing. Immorality is as rampant today as it was back then, and these words are just as relevant to us as they were to them.
Give special attention to the following three parts of this important passage.
- Duty – Couples must understand that sexual affection is not just a pleasurable side effect to marriage, it is their spiritual duty to one another. To fail at this duty is to place a spiritual stumbling block in front of your mate.
Given the level of immorality in our world today, it cannot be stressed enough how important it is for women to fulfill this duty. Every day the world tries to pull your husband from your arms and into the realm of self-gratification. He is being enticed from nearly every facet of our society to leave you and fulfill his needs elsewhere. He cannot buy a loaf of bread without being tempted by the perfect forms of women on magazine covers at the checkout stand. He cannot drive down the highway without being lured into ungodly thoughts by suggestive billboards. TV exploits his needs. Radio encourages him to lust. On and on the pressures mount. If you are not aggressively working to keep his attention on you, he will be distracted. - Possession – Because women often crave affection in different ways than men, the needs of a man are not generally high on her desire list. However, when God commanded couples to become “one flesh” in Genesis 2:24, and when He inspired the words of 1 Corinthians 7:2-5, He expected the law of possession to be honored.
Once a couple has been united in marriage, they are one in God’s eyes. At that point, the wife’s body belongs just as much to her husband as it does to her. Too many women withhold sexual fulfillment as a punishment or a bargaining tool. They manipulate their partner by refusing to meet his most basic needs. A wife must not steal from her husband. (Important Note: The law of possession does not give men a license to do anything they choose. God calls a husband to honor his wife’s body just as much as he honors his own body and as much as Christ honors the body of His bride, the church. Read and study Ephesians 5:25-33.) - Deprive – The Holy Spirit warns against depriving your spouse of the sexual affection he needs. To do so is to allow Satan to present a temptation for which there is little defense. The marital bond was designed to be a safety net that keeps partners from falling into the pit of unfaithfulness. When a man is deprived of this safety net, his wife could be guilty of an allegiance with Satan. Help your marriage survive, don’t deprive.
In the following lessons, you will find six important study guides to help women understand a man’s definition of affection. Each of the study guides highlights one of the phrases used by my husband, Sonny. I keep this list on the wall in front of my desk as a reminder to show him affection every day. I challenge you to do the same for your husband.
Flirt with me
Kiss me like you mean it
Take pride in your appearance
Hold me
Fight for me
Compliment me
Know when I need you
Tell me that you like it when I take control
You cannot show me too often that you love me
