Share A K.I.S.S. this Christmas
(Keeping It Simple & Sexy)
by Sarah Low Hunter
Wouldn’t it be nice to completely enjoy the Holiday Season? This is a time for family, friends and favorite foods. It is also a time for sharing gifts of appreciation and love. But in the mist of all the celebrating, we often default to the hustle and bustle of anxiously buying what we hope will be well received.
How often do we trade a night of hugging and kissing for a night of hurrying and spending? We have become too busy haven’t we? As Americans we are somewhat addicted to business imagining that it is a means to prosperity. But how often do we allow ourselves to become run down? Shouldn’t we slow down, and enjoy a year’s worth of work.
Shouldn’t we truly stop to count our blessings this Thanksgiving? And as Christmas nears, could we look up towards Heaven and thank the Father for the priceless Gift He has given? Isn’t it in Him that our true prosperity lies…
It is time for a change! It is time to honor God and family this Holiday Season. It is time to share a K.I.S.S this Thanksgiving and Christmas with those you love most especially your spouse. Keep It Simple Sweetheart! That is my motto for life. And when it comes to my husband, we are keeping it simple and sexy!
Imagine a hectic free holiday where daily we seek God’s direction and moment by moment we allow Him to lead us. Imagine having enough faith to Keep It Simple by casting our cares and worries on our Father as He has asked us to do. Instead of trying to control every situation, we could earnestly seek His face to discover what really needs to be addressed. I imagine that if we did that, our holidays would be more joyful and peaceful.
What if we decided to dedicate one night a week from now until the New Year to K.I.S.S.ing with our spouse and children? Having a family dinner, making Christmas gifts or cards together, baking… How about snuggling on the couch to watch a classic with hot chocolate and homemade cookies? Doesn’t that sound exquisite? Can you imagine?
We always have the time to do what we deem important. What is more important to God than family? Isn’t that why He created us in the first place, for fellowship with Him and then with each other?
Can you imagine sending the children to bed early and lingering on the couch to play kissy face? Maybe you will have to pray and ask your Creator to help you imagine a night with your spouse that is full of kisses. The cooler air makes it even more delightful to snuggle closely in the buff. And what better way to warm up then to play those favorite games under flannel covers.
You can do it! You can use the K.I.S.S. Principle and enjoy this Holiday Season creating lasting memories with your spouse and children. If you will simply imagine and pray He will show you the way!

 The Marriage Bed: A Place of Pleasure and Peace
by Sarah Low Hunter
In God’s infinite wisdom, creativity and loving kindness, He has given us natural experiences to help us better understand His spiritual truths. Sex is indeed one of these phenomena.
At the moment of climax, there should be nothing on your mind. As you enter into this euphoria, this unexplainable moment in time, you should be experiencing shalom, shalom God’s perfect peace, peace upon peace. It is a place where you have cast all of your cares on God for you know that He truly cares for you.
How else can we explain the marvelous satisfaction of such an awkward, such a strange physical function? And yet, all the pieces fit. The embrace that is experienced by husband and wife in the marriage bed is indeed supernatural. It is a gift from above.
As you practice casting your cares while you embrace your spouse, remember to purposely refuse any and all negative thoughts that attack your mind. Your enemy, the devil, will do his best to bring distractions to you as you engage in love making. Many times these thoughts are not evil but they are, nevertheless, an attack. Obviously, thoughts about previous lovers or fantasy lovers, ungodly positions or procedures, are attacks. But when we as women go over our “to do” lists or think about what else we could be doing instead of getting sweaty and messy—like sleeping—realize that this is an attack on our peace as well. Sex is a gift to women as much as it is a gift to men and wives need to be focused and enjoying the moment not just “getting through it”.
I no longer have sex “out of duty”. I have sex by faith for pleasure and peace. I enjoy the moment with my husband. We vanish from the world as we embrace each other and enter into a space of time where we are free from all responsibilities; we are an island unto ourselves. We have cast our cares and the power of God creates a hedge of protection around our marriage so that no weapon formed against us can prosper.
Every marriage deserves to experience this level of intimacy. Every wife needs to know that God wants her to find pleasure and perfect peace in the marriage bed. Every husband needs to understand that it is better to give than to receive. It takes faith to please God, and so sex by faith is extraordinarily pleasing.
Those who lack wisdom are instructed to ask God for He is faithful and will supply all needs. Getting over the awkward feeling of asking God to help you have sex by faith is a step of faith itself and therefore will not go unrewarded. Step into faith and step into perfect peace. May your marriage bed be blessed forevermore—a place of perfect pleasure and peace. Shalom. Shalom.

What Sex Is
a poem by Sarah Low Hunter
Sex is not a toy.
Sex is not a tool.
Sex is a gift.
It is a wedding gift from
a loving God
to couples forever joined
with Him in the
covenant of marriage.
