Sex, A Matter of Spirit

Sexuality has often been divorced from spirituality. Greta and I have discovered that sexuality is an extension of our spirituality. In fact they have become interdependent upon each other. We believe that sex is spiritual.

Our sexuality is an expression of our spirituality. In our lovemaking our spirits connect as we share the pleasures of each other. Most times there is a blending of our pleasure and Greta’s pleasure becomes mine and mine becomes hers. We have learned to invite God into our lovemaking and we pray, before, after and during. No we are not being sacrilegious, rather we are being holy. God gave husband and wife to each other for their mutual benefit and pleasure.

Sex is definitely one of the gifts to be shared between husband and wife. Unfortunately it is one of the most misunderstood privileges, rights, and responsibilities of marriage. In most cases husbands and wives have little or no information on the spirituality of sexuality. They do not know that this area of their relationship needs to be nurtured.

Sex is holy. Our spiritual consciousness is heightened through lovemaking. We enact it as a form of worship. We are not afraid to transcend as we value our sexuality as a gift. We look forward to sharing that gift with each other. Our lovemaking is a culmination of the meeting of our hearts, minds, and emotions. It is a celebration as we communicate physically and spiritually while showing gratitude to our creator for the privilege.

Yet lovemaking or sex is not always physical. In fact we know most of our sexual activity to occur outside of the bedroom and without physical contact. It is the emotional contact and emotional transference of love that excites and fuels us. These activities allow us to connect spiritual level as we open our spirits up to each other and are able to communicate without spoken words or physical touch.

Meditation, energy work and reciting mantras are a part of spiritual practice and lovemaking. We see our sexuality and spirituality as mutually interdependent and enriching as we connect to each other, God, the universe and ourselves.

Truly sex, is a matter of faith!
