God Intended for Women to Entice Men

At the onset, please know that I am not a sexist, womanizer, hedonist, voyeur, porn addict, lecher, pervert, sex addict, feminist or anti-feminist, or women’s liberationist. So don’t look to this article for support of either side of any of those movements. I will discuss some Christian regard for the sexuality of women.

Some may say I am a chauvinist, not because I believe in women’s equality but because I believe every woman should be treated with kindness and courtesy and should be treasured as God’s gift.

Most of the things we men adore about women, were deliberately built by God for that adoration.

Regarding the sexual appeal of women is not sinful. It is part of God’s plan.

God Loves Women

God loves women! Throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament, His Word is filled with demonstrations of His love for all types of women.

God may have made man to have a creature who would come closest to His nature. But God made woman to be a help meet for man (Genesis 2:18). Man and woman were both made for the glory of God. However, how God accomplishes His glory is different in man from how it is in woman. Woman brings glory to God by modeling Jesus’, God the Son, submission to God the Father by submitting to her husband and helping him in every way she can.

God gave women beauty, and a desire to beautify. In His Word, the Holy Bible, women are continually recognized for their beauty (for example, Genesis 6:2, Genesis 12:11, Genesis 24:16, Proverbs 6:25, and Proverbs 31:30).

God Designed Earthly Marriage to be a Gift

The Bible teaches that God’s children are called to be God’s bride (Isaiah 62:4,5). Ephesians 5 describes the roles of wives and husbands, placing everything in the greater context of marriage as a picture of Christ’s love for His bride. Earthly marriages are to be a reflection of the ultimate marriage.

The Bible teaches women what godly character looks like, and how to be a wife (Proverbs 31, Titus 2:4-5; Ephesians 5:15-33, 1 Peter 3:1-6).

God Designed Women Different From Men

God deliberately created women different from men – many believe “better than men.” God made woman in all her wondrous ways, and her physical and psychological attributes perfectly equip her for the role for which God created her.

Comparing men to women shows that a woman, in almost every way, is a man’s opposite. Men are tough, women are soft. Men are project-oriented; women are people-oriented. Men love to compete; women are more cooperative.

Brain connectivity studies, such as those from Penn Medicine published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found striking differences in the neural wiring of men and women. In females, the wiring goes between the left and right hemispheres, suggesting that they facilitate communication between the analytical and intuition. Thus, women are better equipped to multi-task than a man. Females outperformed males on attention, word and face memory, and social cognition tests.

Multiple studies have confirmed that women were created with:

A brain with 9.5 times more white matter (processing matter),
An empathizing brain, wired to nurture and connect (more empathetic, tender-minded, and nurturing than men),
Better equipped to multi-task than a man,
More detailed memory,
Better fine motor skills,
Larger pupils that can see more colors,
Better sense of smell,
Superior facial recognition,
Superior language processing.

Women Bring Glory to God

“Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man” (1 Corinthians 11:9) – woman brings glory to God by modeling God the Son’s submission to God the Father by submitting to her husband and helping him in every way she can.

God wanted man and woman to reproduce and have children. He gave women the responsibility, as well as the capability, of bearing the sons and daughters of men. Women were not only designed to bear children but they were also designed to raise children. However, a woman’s body was not only designed for reproduction; it was also designed to give pleasure and comfort to men.

A woman’s greatest gift is her ability to feel the emotions of others, in a way most men never can. A woman’s gentleness, sensitiveness, and her empathy are the defining characteristics of the psyche of most women. God has called women to cultivate these attributes in themselves even if they do not come as naturally to some women as to others.

Just as a woman’s mind is soft and gentle, so is her body soft and gentle. A man’s body is not designed for beauty or appearance but for work and combat. A woman’s body is the opposite: her body is designed to be beautiful. A woman is God’s most beautiful creation. A woman’s body is designed to serve the needs of men and their children.

Women’s breasts are not only for feeding babies. Female humans are the only mammals in God’s creation that keep constantly protruding breasts. A woman’s constantly protruding breasts serve the second function for which God made them: the pleasure and comfort of men.

Consider:

Genesis 49:25 – From the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. (NASB, bold emphasis my own)

Proverbs 5:18, 19 – Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; be exhilarated always with her love. (NASB, bold emphasis my own)

Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs) 8:10 – I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace. (NASB, bold emphasis my own)

God made Women Pretty

God made women prettier than men. Women have:

Smaller noses and chins,
Fuller cheeks and lips,
Constantly protruding breasts,
Softer skins,
Wider, more rounded hips,
A fuller, more rounded burrocks,
50% more fat, giving her the curvy look and cushy feel

We must accept that God has built women to be help meets to men and mothers to their children. And women are built for beauty and comfort, to bring pleasure to both the eyes and bodies of men.

God Designed Marriage

In Genesis 2:18-25, we learn the main reason why God designed marriage. Genesis 2:18 abruptly states why God designed marriage to meet the human need for companionship: “It is not good for the man to be alone.” Nothing is yet said of Eve as a child bearer. She is valued for herself alone.

The description of the original marriage is the basis for almost everything else the Bible says about marriage. God designed marriage to meet our need for companionship and to provide a picture of our relationship with Him. The text gives us many principles which, if applied, enable us to build solid, satisfying marriages that glorify God. Most of the problems we get into in marriage can be traced to our neglect of reading and obeying God’s instructions.

God acknowledges our need not only for fellowship with Him but also with a life partner.

Since God designed marriage, it takes three to make a good marriage: God, the man, and the woman.

Marriage can be described as a triangle with God at the top: the closer each partner moves to God, the closer they move toward each other. The further each moves from God, the further they move from each other.

God designed it so that the man needs the woman and the woman needs the man. Both are equal persons and yet have distinct roles to fulfill.

God showed Adam that his wife was a part of him, equal with him, and not a lower creation. A man is to cherish his wife as his own flesh (Ephesians 5:28, 29).

God brought Eve to Adam as His exquisitely crafted gift, perfect for Adam’s deepest need.

In Genesis 2:24 Moses is speaking, not Adam (who didn’t have a father and mother to leave): “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” This is Moses’ commentary on these events. He shows that to fulfill our need for companionship, marriage must be a primary, permanent, exclusive, and intimate relationship.

And They Shall Become One

“And they shall become one flesh” emphasizes the sexual union (1 Corinthians 6:16). But the sexual union is always more than just physical. It is built on relational and emotional oneness. Most sexual problems in marriage stem from a failure of relational intimacy. Sexual harmony must be built on the foundation of a primary, permanent, exclusive relationship that is growing in trust, communication, and oneness. God made us that way.

God wants us to enjoy our marriages, including sex within marriage. He designed it and gave it to Adam and Eve. Marriage and sex in marriage are God’s good gifts, designed for our pleasure, to meet our deepest needs for human companionship. In the context of marriage, we can thankfully enjoy what God has given.

This means that the marriage relationship is primary, not the parent-child relationship. It also means that if a couple builds their marriage around their children, or as more frequently happens, the husband builds his life around his job while the wife builds her life around the children, they are heading for big problems when it’s time for the nest to empty. It doesn’t help the children, either. The best way to be a good parent to your children is to be a good husband to their mother or a good wife to their father.

After Jesus quoted Genesis 2:24, He added, in Matthew 19:6, “What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” This means that the marriage relationship must be built primarily on covenant commitment, not on feelings of romantic love. Romantic love is important, but the foundation of marriage is a commitment of the will. Commitment is what holds a couple together through the difficulties that invariably come. Paul also quoted the Genesis verses, in Ephesians 5:3, when described how husbands should love their wives.

God didn’t design marriage just so that we could be happy and have our needs met. He designed marriage to be a testimony for Him. Godly marriages bear witness to what it means to know God through Jesus Christ. Marriage is a picture of the believer’s relationship with God.

God created woman to be the help and bring much-needed companionship to his mate. Genesis 2 does not even say anything about her bearing children. It does mention being joined to his wife.

God didn’t design marriage just so that we could be happy and have our needs met. He designed marriage to be a testimony for Him. Godly marriages are a picture of the believer’s relationship with God and bear witness to what it means to know God through Jesus Christ.
