since let sex dry up and die out,
whereas God, the loving Creator,
intended sex to supply spice and ac–
tive
LOVE
and even to increase vital–
ity and the spark of life as long as
we live- even into the eighties and
nineties-as long as we are still
physically active. And ten times as
many of us would be, if we took
care of our health, learned to eat
natural health foods and correct
diets, remained careful ·and diligent
about elimination all our Jives, and
got the proper amount of exercise,
especially walking in the later years.
About 99 percent of us grow old
before our time.
Life
could
be so much more en–
joyable and beautiful than it is,
if
mankind had not cut itselfoff from
our Creator and our God and His
LAWS
and
WAYS.

One of the cruelest ways that
The
PLAIN TRUTH July 1977
Satan has deceived this world is in
regard to sex life. The world is get–
ting away from the old dictum ema–
nating from the church that sex is
evil , shameful and wrong. But it is
Ieaping from the frying pan into the
fire and going into promiscuity.
Goo
created sex.
He made us
male and female, and all He de–
signed and made was
"VERY
Gooo"
(Gen. 1:31)- not "very
BAO."
The
really important sex organs that
God designed and created supply
the hormones that make a woman
feminine- with feminine
VITALITY
and charro and
active
personality–
and which make a man actively and
vitally ma1e.
We used to think that all the
OTHER
systems in the physical
body- tbe digestive system, the
eliminative, the respiratory, the ner–
vous, the circulatory systems- were
meant to keep us alive and vital in
this life, but that the reproductive
system was meant only t? bring
forth the future generations and had
nothing to do with our own physical
well-being now. Satan has never
foisted a greater lie on a deceived
world. A well-regulated and normal
sex life between husband and wife
originates in the very vital organs

Why do so many know so little
about how to live?
Sex normally is not more than
about 15 percent of married life;
companionship 80 or 85 percent.
But in the full,
ABUNDANT
life that's
lOO
percent, and the 15 percent
helps and adds to the 85 percent.
Y
es, it has been an eye-opener to
me to learn that
ROMANCE
can be
just as thriJiing, exciting, and fiUed
with
JOY
and happiness in the
SUN–
SET
years as in the sunrise years, and
perhaps we have a little more sense
to enjoy it with.
Not only have

worked harder and accomplished
more in the wonderful Work of the
living God!
