Today's Quotes: Wholesome Sex and Marriage

God created it to be the expression an experience of love on the deepest human level and to be a beautiful and powerful bond between husband and wife." ~ John MacArthur

    may her breasts satisfy you always,
    may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
