In this fascinating episode, Dr. Ed Wheat, a family physician and marriage counselor, presents the vital two-part series, "Before the Wedding Night," offering Bible-based messages designed to cultivate a growing, lifelong love.
This counsel focuses on establishing the foundational permanence of marriage through God's ordinance: Leaving all prior loyalties, Cleaving (sticking like glue) for a lifetime, and merging into One Flesh (in mind, heart, body, and spirit). It warns against the 10 Destroyers of Love (such as Distractions, Debt, and Disapproval), emphasizes that true love is a rational choice backed by action, and highlights communication as the "indispensable factor of marriage".
Dr Wheat continues with counsel on the
physical "one flesh" intimacy, where he urges couples to set
realistic expectations, stresses the need for
artificial lubricant, and offers instruction for preparing for a
painless first experience (including techniques like hymen dilation). Crucially, listeners learn the differences in sexual response timing (average female requires
13 minutes of physical stimulation, compared to 2.8 minutes for the male) and that the
clitoris is the trigger of female desire for orgasm. The overall secret to a lasting relationship, however, is
intimacy, built through frequent
non-sexual physical contact (hugs and snuggling).
