Titus 2 (From Rubies, Silk and Chocolate Covered Peanuts)
3."That they (older women) teach the younger women to be
sober…"
From the Greek word:
(sophronizo)
1. Restore one to his senses
2. To moderate, control, curb, disciple
3. To hold one to his duty
4. To admonish, to exhort earnestly
Older women are to restore younger women to their senses,
disciple them, hold them to their duties, and admonish them. So,
being sober is to be sensible, controlled, moderate, do your duty. It
doesn't mean you can't laugh.
Moderate means "not in extreme." Kind of the same thing as
sensible. Don't bounce off the walls. Stay steady and controlled. Do
the job that God has called you to; do your duty.
What job has God called you to? If you have a husband, He
has called you to be a help-meet to that man, (If he is a truck driver,
you are called to be a truck driver’s wife. If he is a policeman, you are
a policeman’s wife, etc.) If you have children, He has called you to be
a mother. These are your two primary, undeniable callings. All other
callings must be secondary. Now, God often gives us additional
callings, such as my writing or leading worship in church, after we
have proven ourselves faithful in the first two. But we must train
ourselves (with the help of older women) to be steady and controlled, sober- in these two callings first.
Older women are to teach the younger women to;
Love their husbands.
This word, "love," means to be affectionate. We are to show our
hubbies physical affection. I am sure the first thing that comes to our
minds is sex. This is certainly part of what Paul was talking about.
Men are different than women (surprise, surprise). They have a
physical need for sex that is beyond what we women can understand.
You see, cuddling releases the hormone Oxytocin in women.
Oxytocin encourages bonding and protects the heart against heart
disease. Orgasm releases Oxytocin in men (at far higher levels, too!)
So, when you deny your hubby this physical affection you are
possibly endangering his heart as well as creating a lack of bonding
with you- a dangerous situation!
Sex also makes a man feel attractive. We all like to feel
attractive. We women feel that way when our men compliment us.
But to men, words are empty. They feel attractive when we act like
they are attractive. This is part of building our men up.
Sex also protects our men from temptation. They are
bombarded with messages of sex everyday. Just the other day at a
sports event, I looked at the women walking up the aisle by our seats.
Nearly all of them had their breasts half hanging out of their skin tight
tops, leaving nothing to the imagination (And people complain about
women nursing- covered- in public! Sheesh!). Jesus said that if you
look at a woman and lust after her you are committing adultery. You
don't actually have to touch her. This situation was hard enough for
my hubby to handle as it was, but can you imagine how much harder
if his "bonding hormones" had been low?
The average "romp in the sack" takes a whole twelve minutes.
Surely we can afford that much time to our hubbies to give them so
much benefit. I know you are tired and don't "feel" like it as often as
he does. We women often go all day without thinking about sex, what
with taking care of the kids and house and all, and since it takes us a
little longer to shift gears, we might seldom really end up at bedtime
"in the mood." Some of the best advice I ever received was from my
mom. She told me that when hubby wants some attention, I should
go along with him even if I didn't feel like it because nine times out of
ten I would feel like it once we got started and I got my mind on sex! I
heard of one couple that made a deal; when he wants some nookey,
she goes along for two minutes. If, after that time she wants to stop,
they do. In thirty years of marriage, she has yet to want to stop. You
know, I have noticed after the birth of a baby when I begin to get a
little cranky, maybe even depressed, having a good romp in the sack,
(especially when I don't "feel" like it) clears that right up. The lack of
sex affects me badly too! Imagine how much more it affects him!
Satisfying hubby helps us both. And anyway, we all need a little fun in
our lives!
Being affectionate also means our general attitude. Do we treat
our hubbies like they are stupid children? Many women I know speak
to their husbands with just that tone of voice. Honey, he didn't marry
you because he wanted a mommy. He wanted a help-meet, a
partner. Being affectionate means speaking to him with respect and
love in every tone of our voice. It also means not contradicting him in
public. I have seen many women do this to their husbands when they
wouldn't dream of embarrassing anyone else in that way. The truth is
that if you treat him like a king in public and private, he will treat you
like a queen. God put this reflex into men in order to take care of His
daughters....
