Proper Responsibility – 1 Cor 7:3-5
Vs 3 – Both partners in a marriage should be fulfilling their marital responsibilities to each other. This prevents immorality and frustration.
Vs 4 - Each person in the marriage does not have authority over each other’s body. Each yields this control to the other in submission and love. It is mutual love and admirable for each other.
Vs 5 – The only time that a willing fast from sexual relationship is permitted is when both agree to set aside time to devote to prayer. Then when the time period is over come they need to come back together again. This way satan is not able to tempt them because of their lack of self control. Paul understood the power of sex and he knew that without the Lord and mutual consent there was an opportunity for adultery.
