Does "Fulfill Your Duty" In Marriage Mean Sex On Demand?
.svg)
Tired of "duty" in marriage sounding like sex on demand? Unpack 1 Corinthians 7's seven mutual duties—from pleasing to sanctifying—that transform obligation into joyful, Christ-centered care for spouses craving God's blueprint.
Questions to Consider
- If "duty" means giving what is right rather than demanding sex, how might reassuring your spouse of goodwill during conflict fulfill a deeper obligation than bedroom compliance?
- When Paul lists seven duties beyond the sexual, why do we reduce marital obligation to the marriage bed instead of embracing care in distress or sanctifying influence?
- If equal authority in the bedroom creates God-designed troubles, what if viewing Tuesday night clashes as teamwork opportunities turns resentment into the happiness Paul envisions?
- With marriage never eclipsing devotion to Christ, how could reminding each other "this world is passing away" balance earthly duties with eternal loyalty?
