RAVISHED WITH LOVE
Proverbs 5:19-20, KJV
"19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?"
"Ravish" is a word that insinuates and expresses some form of misbehaviours. To be ravished with your wife isn't sin. The Bible has said let each drink water from his own cistern. What God is against is you being ravished, transported, delighted and carried away by another woman's love. We now have many men whose wives can't command their attention again. They've been drawn after another woman apart from the one they tied the knot with. It's this woman described as strange by the Bible that they now call often and express affection to daily in confession of how much they've been held in her stronghold. All these ought not to be to her but one's wife.
The bedroom is a place for ravishing. In love or the making of love, ravishing or being ravished is an associated word. I had told someone that if we were allowed into the secret lives of many people we respect and esteem as spiritual, we would wonder if they are at all. He asked why. I said, "because no one is excluded from being ravished with a woman's love." If you see what some men does when they're ravished by love in the secret, you won't see them as gentle outside or spiritual. Sex brings ecstasy and a sort of behavior on the man and woman.
Sex is ecstatic and it could be. If you ever see animals, a male pursuing to have sex with the female, you'll understand ravishing from that analogy. The fact there is a male who has lost all senses. What matters to it at that time is sex. Until then, the fire and energy in him won't be doused. To those who are married, when you're caught in this ecstasy, you'll agree that even the bedroom may not be the place where sex could be done. It could be done anywhere because of the immediate demand that has come for it at hand.
Being ravished is a good sign of still being in love with one's spouse. If you're married and your spouse especially the male is no longer crushed, ravished and delighted to pursue love affairs with you, then we can conclude that his love for you is dwindling down.
Ravish or being ravished by someone's love is clearly portrayed on the first sexual act of a married man with his lady after wedding. The man would do it with zeal and does so as if that's all that life is all about. A ravished man is a man that has been consumed by the lady's love to the extent that the lady's consumption of her is now controlling him. A ravished man is one that would consider the woman intricately and sigh that God indeed has made her a wonderful fellow for him. He can't but continually express his awe and wonder. This wonder is off course what spurs him into the ecstasy of being quick, in haste and uncontrollably passionate to explore the woman and be satisfied with her.
When love is burning between couples, ravishing is high. For ravishing could also mean to destroy. It means utterly vanquishing a thing but in this case, the woman. A woman is just like a city to be conquered by the man. The man is just like a general or a warrior.
I pray for you that wherever ravishing has been replaced by sluggishness and reluctance in sex in your marriage, God will refire you. When fuel is poured into fire, it blazes the more. May you become more passionate in love and in sex. It is one major way by which couples bond if they don't want a big gulf to be between them. Today, let your love be on fire. May the thought that enters your mind as couples be that of your partner. May her beauty, figure and everything consumes you. May she delights you and be attractive always to call your attention to ravish her and be ravished with her love.
PRAYER: Lord, new wine in my home. Set my love ablaze for my spouse. New concentration, new delight, new joy.
