Scripture teaches that part of the defense against sexual impurity is to go on offense--having a passionate love relationship with your wife. "Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?" Prov. 5:18-20. May this article help you be intoxicated with sexual love for your wife.
