Adam and Eve had sexual relations in the Garden of Eden. As I pointed out in Chapter Six, sex was God s idea. He planned it, He designed it, and He can make it work within the confines of marriage. Satan wants to distort our image of the God-given gift of sex. He either wants us to feel shame or guilt where sex in marriage is concerned, or he wants us to satisfy our sexual desires outside the marriage relationship.
Sex is like a thermometer.
That is where the problems always show up. The problems may and probably are in other areas of your marriage, but because of a lack of communication it comes to a head in the area of sexual responses. For women, one of Satan s primary weapons is fatigue. We become so tired keeping up with the children and making our houses into homes, the moment we get close to a bed, we fall asleep. I ll bet you never realized that taking a nap or resting for a moment in the middle of the afternoon could be a tool used against Satan.
