A Novel Approach to Sexual Purity - A Cord of Three

Warning: The question contains spoilers. If you haven't already read the book, you may not want to read the questions.

Read page 61, from the top down to, "'I was mad at God ...." near the bottom of the page.

Shelly is talking about her relationship with her ex-husband. She confesses that she subtly antagonized her husband and that she tried to cut him off from having sex with her. Do you think that she was wrong to act like that with her abusive husband? Why or why not? What would have been better choices?

The Apostle Paul talks about marriage relationships quite a bit. Read 1 Corinthians 6:12 - 7:16. What are the basic principles of sexual purity and marriage that he lays out? Using a cross-reference Bible, see if you can find other verses that address the same topics.

According to the Bible, what did Shelly do wrong in her marriage? What would have been better choices? (Yes, that's the same question as above, but revisit it now that you've studied what the Bible really says.)

Have you ever acted like Shelly? If so, why did you do it? Was it really about the person you were attacking, or was it about what you thought were your own rights? What are specific steps you can take to begin to change your thinking and attitudes? How can your friends best help you to change?
