Sexperiment is here! And we’re challenging every married couple to have sex for 7 straight days, starting tomorrow!! As part of the challenge, we’re providing online devotionals that will help open lines of communication and connection…

We have written a devotion online for every single and every married couple here, for seven days… starting next Tuesday.  Next Tuesday is the Worldwide Marriage Week.  Did you know that?  From Tuesday until Tuesday.  From this Tuesday, culminating with Valentine’s Day is the Worldwide Marriage Week.  So we’re gonna start the Sexperiment (how cool is that?) Tuesday. 

Now it’s not a contest… “OK, we made 7 out of 7…”  I mean, the first time we did the Sexperiment, I hate to admit this, but on day 6 I was just too tired.  And Lisa woke me up and she goes,

“Ed!  Remember we’ve got the Sexperiment!”  I said,

“I’m too tired.  I’m too tired.”  That’s OK.  It’s not about scorekeeping.  It is, though, about seeing what God wants us to do in marriage and also if you’re single.  And I gotta borrow somebody’s glasses.  I can’t, man, I’m having some trouble with my eyes.  You got something I can see up close?  Thank you, Renee.  Thank you, Renee.  Those are cool!  All right.

I went to the eye doctor this week and he said I needed to… my IQ just kicked up about 25 pounds.  All right.  This is sexual chocolate.  Boy, you sound excited. “Sexual chocolate.” 

The first one is, check this out.  Priority.  What’s the priority in marriage?  The marriage.  What’s the priority in family?  The marriage.  What’s the priority with kids?  The marriage.  Marriage first, kids second.  I would give my life for our four kids, but if you want to be a great parent, one of the great things is put the priority on your marriage. 

Unity.  That’s what it’s about.  Two become one.  In the act of sex you don’t know where one body ends and the other begins.  Unity.  God, the Father, God, the Son, God, the Holy Spirit.  Three in one, one in three. 

Legacy.  You want to leave a legacy to launch kids with great trajectory?  Marriages?  Family?  Boom.  Sexual chocolate.  Oh, you’re fired up now!

Loyalty.  Oh somebody help me with loyalty. Is that great?  Loyalty. We’ve forgotten how to be loyal.  Man, loyalty, loyalty.  I’m loyal to ya, baby!  Come Hell or high water!

Divinity.  It’s all about God.  Sex started in Heaven.

Creativity!  We’re all creative geniuses.  Let’s bring creativity to the marriage.  People say, “Oh, I want romance.  I want romance.”  That’s creativity.  That’s what romance is.

Finally, purity.  The marriage bed should be undefiled.  Even if you have… again.  Here’s the great thing about God.  Even if you have slept in this, even if you could litter the stage with doggie beds, litter the stage with them!  Guess what?  God will reboot, delete, restore, and change your life. I’m not saying, though, that you’re not gonna still have some of the consequences.  You know that from the life of David.  But I am saying, based on God’s word and what I’ve seen and know in my own life, I’m telling you greatness will be the result.
