This weeks discussion was about physical intimacy between husbands and wives, and the trends that are happening with this. It was also about Sex education and teaching that to children. Something that I found very interesting was one of the classmates made a comment and they said that "sex is sacred". When I heard this it made me think of the temple and how the things that go on in the temple are sacred they aren't secret.
There is a misconception about the temple in that a lot of people feel that we shouldn't talk about anything that goes on in the temple but we can and we should, that is why we need to familiarize ourselves with it better and know what we can say and what should be kept sacred.
This is the same way we should teach our kids about sex, it should be talked about regularly, within the right boundaries and as a sacred thing. When we can do this our kids won't have to hear these things from someone else (which they shouldn't anyways, just like things of the gospel). They will trust us because we are honest with them and give them the answers they are looking for, and another very important part is that they will look as sex as a sacred thing. They will respect it, which will help them as others continue to distort the truth and beauty of sex, and when it comes time for them to participate in the beautiful experience with their spouses it won't be an awkward, and a bad thing. I think that part of the reason why some people can't see sex as a spiritual experience is that their views of it have become distorted through the teachings of the world.
When we truly understand something it dispels all of the lies that are out there and we see things as they truly are, and as they should be.
