When discussing the sexual differences in men and women, many couples might throw up their hands in frustration. As Christians we believe our differences can cause us to lift up our hands in praise. God’s created differences between men and women are nothing short of holy. Differences bring balance, fullness, and completion to a marriage. We each have something to teach; we each have something to learn.
In the movie Rocky, the not-so-articulate boxer played by Sylvester Stallone made a profound observation about his girlfriend, Adrian. “She’s got gaps; I got gaps. Together we fill gaps.” Each spouse fills the other’s gaps.
In looking at the sexual differences in men and women, we suggest you see women like water and men like ice cubes. Men and women are made from the same substance but are different in form. Men like an ice cube, tend to be hard, fixed and concentrated. Women, like water are more lucid and flowing, whether in their relationships or in their verbal communication. Sexual intercourse between a husband and wife is much like putting an ice cube in water. The man comes into the women hard and separate from her, but as they linger in intimate touch, they melt together in oneness. The man loses his hard edge and the woman is filled up by him. As they melt together in sexual love their differences dissolve.
