Marriage in general and interracial marriage in particular

Mr. and Mrs. William Grant Still<1. make some very interesting observations
about interracial marriage.  âIf a marriage succeeds, it succeeds not because
of racial considerations or in spite of them, but because two individuals are
suited to each other.  If it fails, it fails because of something in the
characters of the two people who married, not because of their ancestry.â  That is
why www.Eharmony.org and others like it are so successful.  They do their best
to match people suited to each other, to match peopleâs characters.  The Bible
says that where there is no vision the people perish.  It is equally true that where there is no vision, a marriage fails.  If the coupleâs vision/ dream/ goals/ objectives are not shared and mutually supported, they canât walk well together because they arenât in agreement. This is why our Father tells us to marry those who have the same vision of Him and from Him, so that we can live in unity, agreement and harmony.  Being compatible in Jesus at least gives the Lord the opportunity to make the marriage into a vessel of honor to His glory if the two submit to Him, Love Him enough to obey Him and seek His will over their own.
<1.Marriage Across the Color Line, Edited by C. M. Larsson, Johnson
Publlishing Co, p.162

âOne doesnât marry oneâs in -laws, and one never marries a whole race of
people.  One just marries an individual, usually a person with whom one has
common interests, common ideals.  And if one really cares for the person he intends
to marry, racial considerations never enter his mind.  He thinks only of that
person.â<2. This is probably much more true of the female than of the male
since the womanâs most basic needs in marriage are 1. Affection [1 Cor 7:3,4;
Song of Solomon 1], 2. Conversation [Ge 21:12; Eph 5:19], 3. Honesty and
openness [Eph 4:25], 4. Financial support [1Tm 5:8], and 5. Commitment to family [Ge
2:24] <3.   None of these needs depend on what she sees or how the male
visibly and physically appears to the woman.  These needs do depend to a large
degree on common interests and ideals, and women usually tend to be more aware of
and sensitive to interests and ideals than men.

On the other hand, the males most basic needs are 1. Sexual fulfillment
[1Cor7:1,2,5; Prov 5:18,19], 2. Recreational companionship [Song of Solomon 2:10-13
], 3. An attractive spouse [Song 1:15; 4:1; 6:4], 4. Domestic support
[Titus2:5], and 5. Adoration/respect [Ephes 5:33].<4.   Depending on the amount of
testosterone in his blood, his need for sexual fulfillment drives a man to a woman because he NEEDS what she has, is and provides. The more testosterone in his
blood, the greater his awareness of his NEED of a woman, the more thought he
puts on a woman, the more creative he may get to have a woman, ----  and if he
lets her into  his heart --- the more deeply, irrationally and emotionally bonded he will be with the woman.  Often the woman is seen and desired by the highly testosteroned male primarily because of her appearance, with little thought of her interests or ideals.  If a man lets Jesus tame his sexual drives and focus them on a godly woman who is committed as much to fulfilling his sexual needs as she is to her own bodyâs needs, on a daily basis, they are on the path to realizing the marital ecstasy of Prov 5:18,19 and Song of Solomon. 
<4. His Needs Her Needs, W.F. Harley, Jr.; Fleming H. Revell p. 12

So many wives lose their marriages, often to other women or pornography,
because they fail to realize their husbandsâ sexual needs, they fail to obey the
commands in 1 Cor 7:2,3,4,5, creatively and wisely presenting themselves to
their husbands for them to obey Prov 5:18,19,20.  They get married but then after
a while make their men feel unwelcome or ungodly because of their frequent
sexual desire of them.  It never ceases to amaze me that a godly woman would not
hesitate to feed her husband if he were hungry, clothe him if he was cold,
visit him if he were sick or in prison (Mat 25:30-46), meeting his physical
needs willingly and readily, but when it comes to the manâs physical appetite/need
of sex, often the Christian wife will reluctantly minister to him sexually,
often making him think he is carnal or ungodly because of his sexual need and
desire of her.  So the âgodlyâ wife changes and cools sexually because she
thinks that sex in general and marital sex in particular is fleshly, carnal and
ungodly and so should be minimized.  She would rarely think of minimally
meeting her husbandâs need of food if he were hungry, of drink if he were thirsty,
of clothing if he were cold, or of visiting him if he were sick or in prison,
but she often has no problem ignoring or disregarding his sexual needs, which
God commands to be fulfilled in and by her.  So she makes her husband feel
unwelcome sexually, and his sexual drives, being irrational, keep on pushing him
to find fulfillment, and often push him into the arms of another woman ready to
meet his sexual needs, or into pornographic fantasies with women more
friendly and welcoming than her.  It is so sad that pastors donât teach godly women
the commands of the Bible that could save their marriages, that the wife has
sexual authority over her husbandâs body (1Cor 7:4), that she is commanded to
use her sexual authority over his body and intimately have him whether or not he
is inclined (1 Cor 7:2,4), actively presenting her body to him to give him
the ministry, the ministry of delivering him from sexual sin (1Cor 7:1,2), that
is due him as her husband (1Cor7:3,5; Prov 5:18,19).

Well time is up. Got to finish this another day.

please do so directly to one of my email addresses. Because of my job and my
other responsibilities I am no longer able to daily keep up with all the groups of which I am a member and to which I post. The Most High God loved the people of the world so very much that He sent and gave His only Son born of a woman, God with us, to be our Passover Lamb to cover our sins if we sincerely and genuinely call and depend on King Jesus of Bethlehem ALONE to save us from our sins and present us covered with His perfect righteousness to Abba Father in Heaven.
