YOUR SPOUSE IS YOUR BEST SEX PARTNER

A sex partner is someone who shares sexual activities with another on an on-going or regular basis. It is believed that most people look forward to having sex with each other on the day of their wedding ceremony, though it is also possible that some may have started having sex with each other before that event.  Either way, once a couple is legally married, it is assumed that they become each other's exclusive sex partners. 

Recently it has been observed that apart from those in polygamy or polyandry relationships, whose cultures and beliefs allow such practices, certain couples in monogamous relationship, also operate what has been termed 'open marriage'. This is a situation where each spouse has the consent of the other to freely engage in sexual activities with other persons known or unknown to the other spouse. Some people also engage in extra-marital affairs otherwise known as adultery, where they have sexual relationships with other people without the consent of their spouse. This article seeks to show reasons for every married couple to maintain exclusive sexual relations with each other.

Your marriage vow is sacred. The sacredness of your marital vow to your spouse requires that both of you respect the vow. Whether the vow was made in a religious environment or in a legal environment, it deserves same respect by the people involved in the marriage. Opening yourself for sexual relations with another person outside your spouse is disrespectful to the vow.

Lasting Relationship Requires Continued Trust: Extra marital sexual relationship creates foundation for distrust in marriage. What happens in the sex life of a married couple is an experience both spouses cherish; sharing the act with an outsider gives the impression that someone is dishonest and cannot be trusted. Even when there has been apologies and forgiveness, the level of trust has diminished, giving room for flimsy issues to result in quarrels.

It is the highest level of intimacy: Engaging in sexual relations with someone makes the people involved vulnerable to each other. The more vulnerable they become, the more intimate they grow to be. This automatically justifies why the society frowns at extra-marital sexual relationship. When a spouse goes to an outsider, that spouse seeks to become one with that outsider.

Becoming sexually intimate with an outsider is an abuse of one's sexual intimacy with their spouse.

Each Spouse's body belongs to the other: Realising that spouses are expected to make their bodies available to each other on request, presupposes that no spouse has exclusive right of their body. Therefore no spouse is authorised to share their body with another person since the body does not really belong to him or her alone anymore. 

Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Remaining sexually intimate with your spouse alone protects both spouses from sexually transmitted diseases. When one spouse is exposed to another individual who has such disease, the spouse may contact the disease and transmit same to the other spouse at home. 

Pregnancy: One other reason your spouse is your best sex partner is that any outcome in the area of pregnancy is better managed. Even if the couple did not plan having a child at the time it happened, they are able to work together to provide the child a home. If a spouse engages in sexual relations with an outsider, any pregnancy that results from this would be deemed inappropriate and irresponsible. Some engage in abortion to cover it up, such action can even lead to death.

Every married couple can agree with each other concerning any sexual act and keep to it within their marriage. Abandoning one's spouse for another person in order to satisfy certain sexual fantasy is an inappropriate conduct, disrespectful to the other spouse and disrespectful to the marital vow.
