THE FIRST NIGHT


TGD RELATIONSHIP CORNER

 

Good day ladies. How are you doing? I have a fictional account of a true life story I'll like us to deliberate on.

*************************************

Sebastian had spent six years pursuing Yewande, trying to convince her to marry him. After much prayers and effort, Yewande agreed to marry him. After the flurry of wedding activities, they eventually got married.

 

Yewande was a virgin until she got married. She waited for her husband to be the only man to see her nakedness. She and Sebastian had kissed (passionately) twice during courtship. Once Sebastian had showed her his erection when she had innocently being whispering into his ears while they were taking a bus ride. So, she was relatively assured that she was marrying a virile man.

 

On their wedding night, Sebastian told her, for the first time ever, that he planned to spend that night praying for their future and that there would be no love-making that night. Yewande was disappointed and hurt that her husband had taken such a decision without letting her know. They prayed as Sebastian wanted and eventually consummated the marriage a few days later.

 

Yewande was deeply hurt by Sebastian's action on their wedding night and she began to withdraw into her shell. She began to act coldly towards Sebastian. They are experiencing some turbulence in the marriage currently.

 

My questions are

1. Was Sebastian right to have made the decision to spend the wedding night praying without involving Yewande?

 

2. Was Yewande's hurt justified? After all, it was good to pray for their future.

 

3. Should Yewande have tried harder to convince Sebastian to consummate on their wedding night?

 

4. Is it appropriate to discuss the wedding night during courtship or while making wedding arrangements? If yes, can the lady initiate such a discussion? If yes, are there tips to guide her to initiate such a discussion?

 
Please share your views, experiences and even scriptural references.
