A comparison between Marriage and Manna

What is meant in Marriage, about the concept of Manna:

The World’s Plan:

Older man initiates Girl.

Older woman initiates Boy.

Man and Woman have sex before marriage, to find out if libidos are complementary (a word that means matching and showing parity.)

God’s Plan:

Virgin boy marries virgin girl. I remember back when I was first learning to program. I had all the interest in the world, and some aptitude. However my early efforts nearly had me in tears at times, because they did not fulfill the promise of the joys of programming. In the same way, I anticipate the honeymoon might not be a time of elated joy by the Man and Woman of God’s plan, because early efforts at sex do not fulfill the promised joys of wedded bliss.

The French glorify the sexual experiences when both man and woman climax at the same time. Logic dictates that all other times, and in all other cases, one partner or the other is dissatisfied at the end. Bio-mechanics says that the man will not last long after climax, therefore an optimistic goal is a 50/50 split. In most cases, we are sad to say the woman is likely to get the Lion’s share of disappointment.

In the world’s plan, the man must learn to satisfy many women, and maybe “any” woman. In God’s plan, when he (or his wife,) finds that one favorite thing, it becomes a repeatable process. This becomes that one steak meal, prepared each time for the rest of your life. God illustrates that this is indeed his plan, by exhibiting faithfulness on his own part, and providing Manna in the wilderness. The story of manna is in Exodus 16. No doubt this gift from God was welcome for the first three or four weeks, but it surely must have grown old, long before the first year was out. Numbers 11 tells more detail of how the people got sick of manna, and how God dealt with them.

It is further important to recall that in this world, 10% of women feel pain during intercourse, while of the remaining 90%, 30/90ths may not experience orgasm. As such, a man or woman is essentially “rolling the dice” when he/she marries, with respect to libido. It might be a test of character, to consider what 10/30/60 sub-set a person would prefer to marry. If the idea of a “horny?” wife appeals to me, what does that say about my character? What if I determine that no matter what I get, I would prefer to comfort a wife who does not get all that much satisfaction from sex? This leads us into a discussion of fake orgasms. At the outset, this amounts to a lie. However, if her husband cannot be satisfied without her pleasure matching his, this should commend his love toward her. In point of fact, many times, the woman who has faked an orgasm despises her mate for being so “easily” deceived. If he can not be happy without her pleasure, she should allow him to participate in her sorrow of dissatisfaction, and not deceive him. This is the best solution I can come up with on this subject.
