The key to living the active, high risk, high reward investor lifestyle is getting past physical limitations to have faith in God’s Word and understanding, as God told Sarah, that there is nothing too hard for God.

God designed the sex drive in men for a specific purpose and gave man a specific activity designed to satisfy that drive. Genesis 1:28 delineates God’s prime directive, saying: 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

God tells us to have only one wife and to have marital relations with only her because of the feelings that He has designed into women and the possessiveness that they feel for those with whom they have intimate contact. And we should follow God’s instruction in this matter, as some things are to be avoided, because, when done, they cannot be fixed.

God’s teaching in Genesis 2:18 is that women are meant to be men’s helpers. And, intuitively obvious from the verse is that assertion that God’s purpose for creating women is to help men to not be lonely.

If we find ourselves in a difficult situation that feel that we cannot share with our spouses, our reluctance to share brings dissension to the marriage, because intimacy, be it emotional, psychological and physical, should be the exclusive venue of husband and wife.

When the spouses become parents, the spouse whose personality matches that of the child may decide to make his or her primary relationship with their child rather than with their spouse, which diminishes the development of the marital bond. This is not a good thing.

Love does not exist in a vacuum; infatuation may, but not love. Love is developed in the crucible of adversity. Love develops by a shared experience of overcoming the circumstances of life.

Love is a complex concept that can be explained simply with respect to marriage. To show love to your spouse, wake up every morning thinking of what you can do to make your spouse glad that they are married to you. And then do it.
