Break up over video
games is funny and true. I had a friend that was dating this girl. He had a
long day at work and was ready to head home and play some video games. His
girlfriend called and asked if he wanted to hang out. He told her, I had a long
day at work and I’m ready to chill and play some video games. She said ok, well
I will just come over and watch you play video games, he didn’t understand but
said ok. She came over, he was hanging out and playing video games, after about
15 minutes she got angry and asked if he was going to spend anytime with her.
He replied I had a long day, I want to relax and play video games and you knew
that coming over. She got more mad and said, “I am not dealing with this, its
me or the video games.” He replied, “Seeya.” He broke up with a girlfriend over
video games.
It might not always
be a good thing to be in a relationship. Paul shares in a long section on
Marriage in 1 Corinthians 7 about whether it’s good to marry or not and what sex is in
a marriage. This goes on for 40 verses but this is the first couple of verses…
Now
for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual
relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is
occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each
woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his
wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority
over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband
does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not
deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you
may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will
not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
Sex is meant for a man and wife in marriage. Outside of that
can be a major problem. Now God does show grace and mercy and almost all of us
including myself have made mistakes in this regard. I am a firm believer that
the best sex you will ever have will take place between a husband and wife in
marriage. You learn what each other like and God blesses sex when it’s done in
the right way in a marriage. It states about not trying to hold sex from the
other spouse. The goal of a marriage is to be responsible to satisfy each other’s
desires.
Verse 5 shares that couple were trying to maintain celibacy
in marriage, WHAT???? Couples were refraining from sex because one of the
people did not want to have sex. It was not agreed that they would be holding
out on sex. This lead to cheating on the part of the other mate. Paul gave them
only three ways withholding sex was ok according to the Bible Knowledge Commentary. 1. It was a mutual consent from husband
and wife. 2. They would agree on a time when normal intercourse would occur. 3.
They were able to devote themselves to prayer in a deep way. Outside of this is
a sin.
Marriage is about meeting each other’s desires it involves
much more then sex, but sex is included. If you are married, are you doing
everything necessary to please your spouse? This isn’t about what they are or
aren’t doing. What do you need to do to improve your marriage and make it
better? If you are single please read through this scripture. There are plenty
of benefits to remaining single. Maybe video games mean more to you then a
relationship.
Have a great day.
