LOL

Genesis 18:12

¹² Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

Ok well Sarah didn’t “Laugh Out Loud” but the Lord heard it loud and clear.  Just like He hears us each time we laugh, roll our eyes, or give a huff at His commandment…

1 Corinthians 7:3

³ The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

Understanding the wife’s role is important and not one to scoff at.  God created woman as a helpmeet to man.  Not because Adam was clueless and too stupid to feed himself.  Nor did He create woman to be man's sex slave but a wife willing to help meet his needs.  Neither was she put here on this earth to tell man how great or little his needs should be. 

Genesis 2:18

¹⁸ Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." 

It’s no secret that TV shows and movies alike want to make sex and marriage a laughing matter.   Scenes where men have to beg their wives for sex and vice versa are the norm for comedy.  Divorce is conveyed as hilarious with fighting and degrading remarks towards their Ex.  Teens are glorified for their disobedience to parents and their sexual behavior so long as the producers, at least, send the message of having safe sex. 

On tv a clueless husband/dad is hilarious.  A nagging wife is the prudent one.  Gone are the days of tv when both parents love each other and both are smart responsible adults. 

In real life, it’s no LOL matter when men hold up in their “man caves” filling the void because their wives refuse to be intimate with them except on special occasions or vice versa.  On the other hand, it’s certainly not easy to be intimate with your husband when you have been yelled at all day due to his frustrations and stress or again…vice versa. 

If you are fighting and frustrated, most likely, both of you feel taken for granted by the other one.  Remember, respect and appreciation go a long way in a marriage. It’s called manners…something that is somehow forgotten once the stress of bills, family and every day needs are piling up.  We should never look to movies or sitcoms to understand our husband’s needs.  Certainly not Hollywood’s view of how to deal with problems such as money and sex.  

Communication between a husband and wife using 

God’s word is all that’s necessary.
