 ======  6th Commandment ... ======
-Monday, Feb 26, 2018.
+Monday, Feb 26, 2018. Love and Sex are among the most important and driving moments of our life. They
+are everywhere today in our society, in advertising, in films and books, in music, in art. Love is what
+we need, and sexuality is one of the most important human desires and potentials. Who would we be
+without kids, without family, without passing on our ideals and behavioural patterns?

+** A save place ...**
+Our behaviour when it comes to sexuality is one of the most sensitive and difficult issues humans
+discuss today. Sexuality is an intimate issue, it is important and keeping us busy with our thoughts
+and our emotions. And in the middle of this there are rules and commandments like the 6th commandment
+of Exodus 20 (2nd book of Moses):

-“You shall not commit adultery. .
+“You shall not commit adultery.
 </color>
+The 6th commandment is formulated on a background of mankind consisting of men and women. It is formulated
+on the background of a man and a woman to come together, build a firm relationship and get children. It
+is formulated on the background of fidelity and safety in this relationship.

-** ...**
+** Love, Men and Women ...**
+Love is a deep emotion when you are sympathetic and full of feelings towards another person. Love means
+to desire all the best for the other person. Clearly, love is also decision. It is action, when you
+live with the other person, when you give, when you help and support. Love is decision and it is action!
+Love is fidelity, you cannot imagine love to give up. In 1. Kor 13 we hear a fantastic song about
+love, written by the apostle Paul.
+When it comes to men and women, love has been given
+a bodily component: sexuality. Love here is much more, it is also the full of touch, full of body, and
+full of consequences. Love comes with kids, with new life, with a new human, and with new responsibility.
+Here, the role of marriage comes to its full potential. It creates a save place. It gives responsibility
+and care a shelter and framework. The 6th commandment could also be formulated as: keep the shelter
+active. Protect it. Nurture it and keep it strong!
