  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for February 10, 2026.
• 0:06
  Your two-minute call from God's playbook
• 0:08
  to know him better so we can love and
• 0:10
  obey him more. Let's huddle up and hear
• 0:12
  today's play from 1 Corinthians 7.
• 0:15
  Because of the danger of sexual
• 0:17
  immorality, let each man have his own
• 0:19
  wife and each woman her own husband. The
• 0:21
  husband should give his wife what she is
• 0:24
  entitled to in the marriage
• 0:25
  relationship. And the wife, she should
• 0:27
  do the same for her husband. The wife is
• 0:29
  not in charge of her own body, but her
• 0:31
  husband is. Likewise, the husband's not
• 0:33
  in charge of his own body, but the wife
• 0:35
  is. Do not deprive each other except for
• 0:38
  a limited time by mutual agreement.
• 0:40
  Otherwise,
• 0:42
  because of your lack of self-control,
• 0:44
  you may succumb to the adversar's
• 0:46
  temptation. But if you they can't
• 0:49
  exercise self-control, they should get
• 0:50
  married. Because it's better to get
• 0:52
  married than to keep burning with sexual
• 0:54
  desire. If a man thinks he's behaving
• 0:56
  dishonorably by treating his fiance this
• 0:59
  way, and if there's a strong sexual
• 1:01
  desire, so that marriage is what ought
• 1:03
  to happen, then let him do what he
• 1:04
  wants. He's not sinning. Let them get
• 1:06
  married. Brothers, in 1 Corinthians uh
• 1:09
  chapter 7, Paul speaks about marriage
• 1:11
  and intimacy with uncommon clarity. He
• 1:14
  says, "The husband should give his wife
• 1:16
  what she's entitled to, and the wife
• 1:18
  should do the same for her husband. Do
• 1:20
  not deprive each other." The command
• 1:22
  goes both ways. Not just to husbands and
• 1:24
  not just to wives, but to both. In God's
• 1:27
  design, intimacy in marriage is not
• 1:29
  optional. It's not a luxury. It's not
• 1:31
  something you give only when you feel
• 1:33
  like it. It's a part of covenant
• 1:35
  faithfulness. Paul says our bodies
• 1:38
  belong to one another. Not for control,
• 1:40
  not for selfishness, but for loving
• 1:43
  service. That means a wife doesn't
• 1:44
  belong only to herself and a husband
• 1:47
  does not belong only to himself. They
• 1:49
  belong to each other. And Paul says
• 1:51
  clearly, "Do not withhold intimacy
• 1:53
  except for a short time by mutual
• 1:55
  agreement for prayer and then come back
• 1:58
  together." Why? Because temptation's
• 2:00
  real. Because Satan looks for distance.
• 2:03
  Because neglect creates vulnerability.
• 2:06
  In many marriages today, intimacy is
• 2:08
  denied not because of sin or danger, but
• 2:11
  because of boredom, fatigue, resentment,
• 2:13
  busyiness, or habit. I'm tired, or I'm
• 2:16
  not in the mood, or we're older now, or
• 2:17
  it doesn't matter anymore. These
• 2:20
  scripture, the scripture never treats
• 2:21
  intimacy as disposable. Withholding
• 2:24
  intimacy without biblical reason is not
• 2:26
  harmless. It's disobedience. It weakens
• 2:29
  the marriage. It frustrates the spouse.
• 2:31
  It invites temptation. Now, husbands are
• 2:34
  called to love sacrificially, to lead
• 2:36
  spiritually, to cherish their wives.
• 2:38
  That matters. But wives are also called
• 2:41
  to honor the covenant with their bodies.
• 2:43
  Desire desire doesn't die because of
• 2:45
  age. Passion doesn't expire with
• 2:47
  seasons. God did not desire design
• 2:50
  marriage to become sexless sexless over
• 2:53
  time. Marriage is meant to remain
• 2:55
  affectionate, joyful and intimate. Not
• 2:58
  driven by hormones, driven by covenant.
• 3:00
  Intimacy is not about performance. It's
• 3:02
  about pursuit. I choose you. I still
• 3:05
  want you. I am committed to you. That
• 3:07
  matters. That message matters deeply and
• 3:10
  into a man's heart. And when it
• 3:12
  disappears, something breaks. Paul's not
• 3:14
  being crude. He's being protective. He
• 3:17
  wants marriages strong. He wants men
• 3:19
  faithful. He wants women secure. He
• 3:21
  wants homes holy. So here scriptures
• 3:24
  say, "Husbands, love your wives like
• 3:27
  Christ. Wives, honor the covenant with
• 3:29
  your bodies. Together protect the
• 3:31
  marriage bed because God designed it as
• 3:33
  a gift and a guard." So run today's
• 3:36
  play. Husbands, pursue your wife with
• 3:39
  love and prayer. Discuss with your wives
• 3:41
  about honoring your her covenant with
• 3:43
  generosity and refuse distance and
• 3:46
  choose closeness. Protect what God has
• 3:48
  given you. Men, if this huddle helps you
• 3:51
  to know God better so you can love him
• 3:53
  more, share it with a friend and write a
• 3:54
  comment so that other men can find their
• 3:56
  way into the huddle.
