Be ravished with the wife of your youth

“Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 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.” - Proverbs 5v18-19

Proverbs is a very practical book. Sometimes its practicality can be very pointed. Proverbs 5 is written to warn men about the dangers of adultery. When you read the whole chapter you see a very picturesque description of sex outside and sex inside a marriage.

Suffice it to say that there are a couple of key phrases here that would solve all of the Christian immorality problems if taken and applied. “Rejoice with the wife of your youth…be thou ravished with her love.” These words are so clear and so precise. They need no exposition. You want to stop any problems with immorality in the home? Rejoice in the wife of your youth and be ravished with her love!
