Key to a Happy Marriage

Proverbs 5:18-19 "...enjoy the girl you married when you were young, a loving doe and a graceful deer. Always let her breasts satisfy you. Always be intoxicated with her love."

One of the keys to a happy marriage is to always be satisfied with your wife's breasts. They don't preach or teach on this verse much from the pulpit, but it is a very important principle for married couples. One of the purposes of a wife's breasts is to satisfy her husband...God said so in Proverbs 5:19.

When and where? Some of my conservative brothers and sisters in Christ believe that a wife should only satisfy her husband in the privacy of their house, or bedroom. It should only happen at certain times, which probably are short in duration and not very often. In contrast, the Bible says that the frequency is always, not some of the time, or most of the time...but ALWAYS. At all times, which also implies in all places a wife's breasts should be satisfying to her husband.

Why? The answer to why is found in the next verse, Proverbs 5:20 "why should you...be intoxicated with an adulterous woman and fondle a loose woman's breasts?". The reason a husband is to be satisfied with his wife's breasts is so that he is not enticed by another woman's breasts. If a husband is pleased and satisfied with his wife, he will be less likely to get involved in an adulterous affair with another woman.

How? The bible does not specifically say how, but in the context of the verse there are a few hints. First, a wife's breast should be as appealing and tempting as the other women (see why above). The whole reason and purpose for the breast satisfaction is to prevent temptation from another woman, so arguably the wife should be equally satisfying in her attempts to please her husband. Second, what is the significance of a "loving doe" and "graceful deer" in verse 18? A doe (female deer) is a graceful animal that bounces and hops as they move. It is amazing to watch a doe run away, as the spring and bounce gracefully out of sight. For some reason, deer have a way of capturing our attention, as many car drivers will often slow down to look at a deer grazing along side the road. Perhaps the reason that a doe, or graceful deer was used in the context of breast satisfaction was to hint at the graceful bouncing and movement, which captivates the attention of man. In Song of Songs (Solomon) 4:5 and 7:3 it says, "your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle (deer like animal)".
